Yes, the one here...

... but there is an unverified bug-report on it.
http://www.blackjackinfo.com/bst/bst.htm

The best practice drills are provided by software, and I recommend one of these -

Ne Plus Ultra and Practicum by Victor Shelley
The most unique blackjack training software packages on the market today since it will improve your card counting skills. Includes drills to improve counting, true count conversion, deck estimation, play variations, count indices, etc. Use the built in count or create your own balanced or unbalanced count. Newer versions now include the companion Practicum "play" upgrade. Excellent graphics and includes several unique practice and analysis features. Now available on CD which includes the 70 page manual. Editor Note: This is a highly recommended and unique training tool and with the price drop (formerly $120) an absolute best buy! Until SmartCards was available I gave this software my Best Blackjack Training Tool award.

SmartCards by Extreme Blackjack
SmartCards provides the best card counting training available anywhere. It is not a home blackjack game, but a professional software tool that builds the skills you need to beat the game consistently. SmartCards does this by providing a large range of exercises and practice environments. It supports virtually any card counting system, with features not found in many other practice programs.

Casino Verite Blackjack,
The Casino Verite Blackjack software package is the best blackjack game and simulation software on the market. Contains over 100 rule and play variations and a database of over 890 rule sets in over 500 real casinos. This amazing software also includes maps to your favorite casino, different table formats, statistic logs and color graphs, tournament play, counting drills, voice recognition, custom strategies, unusual games and more. If the strategy that you use is not included, you can define your own in excruciating detail. Strategy, betting and Over/Under 13 strategies can all be user defined. Warnings and records of strategy violations are provided. New variations of Blackjack are supported, like Multi-action, Over/Under13, Red/Black, Double Exposure, Royal Match, Bust Out, Super 7's and Seven & 1/2. Editor note: Casino Verite Blackjack get's my pick for the "best" overall blackjack software package on the market. Outstanding!

The Wizard of Odds

Here's an absolutely genius site on probability and strategy for most casino games, including blackjack.

http://wizardofodds.com/

P.S. It confirmed my suspicions that the "whako progression" I invented is as good as any strategy ever concieved (check "Advice & Strategy> Betting Systems"). This could also save Zen and Mikeabear the trouble of dealing with repeated betting system questions.

Another practice site I like is (Dead link: http://www.blackjack-bst.com)

That's a great trainer. It's really, really fast, and that's helping me speed up my decisions a lot.

The only problem I've found with it is even if you select "dealer hits soft 17" it says that doubling down on an 11 versus dealer's Ace is incorrect. Doubling is the proper play in that situation (according to the chart that the Basic Strategy Engine on this site gave me, anyway.

Great counting practice

Once a day, at least....
This web site to me has been very instramental.

http://www.ace-ten.com/tutorials/as-trainers/

Try it, see what you think.

The card trainer is just to keep sharp.
The hand trainer helps you increase speed by recognizing hands and not single cards.
The round trainer is just great for speed and helping you remember the running count!

free online game with counting and strategy

Here is a FREE wesbite that allows you to play blackjack online.
http://www.card-counting-blackjack.com

There is nothing to install and no java applets. Simply visit the website and start playing.

It assists with the KO Count system. It keeps the running total for you, which you can show or hide. That way you show the computers count only when you want to double check your own count. Plus, it tracks each card played as well.

It assists you with basic multi-deck strategy, instructing you how to play against the dealers upcard. The strategy matrix can be shown or hidden.

Cardcountingpractice.com too

Check out (Dead link: http://www.cardcountingpractice.com)! It's a great simple site- no downloads or anything. Just for practicing card counting without the distraction of game strategy. Can play a variety of count strategies, any number of decks, increase, decrease speed and also add distractions (try counting with an auction going on!). I like it a lot.

Brilliant Blackjack Site!!

As usual I was scoring the web for Blackjack information and I came across this brilliant website. It's all video taught which is excellent for beginners and the first 18 are free. I would recommend it to any new blackjack players and maybe even the pros. It has everything you need to start card counting for real :)

Blackjackapprenticeship.com

Enjoy :) :)

Note ** This is NOT spam but the thread can be moved to an appropriate section if I have chosen the wrong one

I signed up for the advanced videos and found them pretty basic in nature. They offer a risk free 7 day trial so you can judge for yourself I decided it wasn't worth the 20 bucks and they were very accommodating in refunding my money after I gave them some good feedback.
