Blackjack Card Counting help?

So I recently saw the movie 21 (I know it came out about a year ago) and I became interested in counting cards. I started practicing with the Knock-Out Card Counting system and it seems fairly easy. But I have a few questions. when do you start counting the cards? when you first get on the table or do you kick back as a spectator and count from there a few hands? and at what point on the running count do you place a higher bet? +3? +4? +5? Any advice would be helpful.

Whatever works for you! There are systems that can gain a greater advantage over the house than others, but the increased difficulty of these systems makes you more apt for errors, thus rendering the added effort worthless. If you're a beginner you should start with either KO or hi-lo.

If you use the High Low Counting system you place bets at +3 +5 +7 I think. But it doesn't rally matter. the main principle is you place a low bet at low count starting at +2 and then bet higher with higher counts. so the bulk of your money should be placed in the high range as you have up to 3% advantage in the high region.

If you place too much money at lower counts the fluctuations of ypur bankroll will vary dramatically. That means you can lose a lot in one session or win a lot. This is bad for your nervous system.

Do sit down and start counting right away. You can't just stand around and count and when the count goes up you can't sit down because the table is full. Or if the table is empty and you just watch and suddenly bet after half an hour of waiting and counting then this looks suspicious.

Forget the whole thing you can't make money there as the dealer know about counting and your advantage is so small. (1%) You still can lose a lot for a few weeks before you win it back.

You have to play one year to get into the winning zone for sure but only if you don't give tips and have a lot of money to back you and you should bet really high.
100$ 200$ 500$ and when the count is bad just 10$.
But they will recognize you through the cameras when you bet high suddenly. Then the manager counts himself to see if you bet high when the deck becomes good and then they ask you to leave.

But you need to read the book first and know the basic strategy.

Forget all about it and find a job!
