Again, here's Andy Block.

And when that one number, when your running tally gets up to seven or eight or nine, it means that there are lots of aces and tens left in the deck.

So it's good for you, right?

It's really, really good for you.

And that is the time that you want to start to bet big.

Like your bet should jump up to five times what it was, Andy says.

All you have to do

is keep your running tally.

And Andy demonstrated here.

He dealt cards into a pile to demonstrate how that works.

Then it was time for Robin and I to try this.

Note that the pace changes just a little.

Plus two, it was a three.

Plus one.

Zero.

Minus one.

You know, I'm getting confused over which one gets the plus and which gets the minus.

You're sad when tens and aces come out, which is why they get subtracted.

There we go.

That helps.
