ok i can count and all but im having a bit of a problem with the true count. pretend i am playing with 4 decks. and the first hand i have true count of +2. on the next hand i have a running count of -1. Next do i calculate the true count of the -1 and then add it to the +2, or do i add the -1 to the +2 and then get the true count again of the sum of the -1 +2.

It sounds like you are confused about Running Count vs True Count. zg

 

[Trever Kirk]

then what do i do?

then what do i do?

Simply divide the RC by the number of remaining decks or fraction thereof. zg

(RC/#remaining-decks)=TC

 

[Trever Kirk]

ok

Look at it this way Trevor.

1. With 4 decks left your TC will be 1/4 of the RC.(ie(12=3)

2.With 3 decks left your TC will be 1/3 of te RC(12=4)

3.With 2 decks left your TC will be 1/2 of the RC(12=6)

4.with 1 deck left your TC will be = to the RC(12=12)
