How to apply the hi/lo system in blackjack?
How do i apply the hi lo system because all i no is how to count the cards and end up with zero when im done
At certain times in blackjack the card count will go up or go down during the course of playing a shoe.
When the count goes up, it is the time to increase your bet, as a general rule. Counting the cards is one theing, knowing how to bet is another, and more important thing!
Here is a link that explains the HiLo system and provides some information on how to use the information to adjust your bets, whether the count is high or low.

BlackJack: Question about card counting?
The rule is;
you bet more when you know there are more faces & aces inside the deck.
My question is: How does the fact that there are more faces & aces help the Player beat the Dealer?
Couldn't the Dealer just as easily score big with faces & aces?
If you get 2 face cards you got a twenty or 21, that simple.
stop wasting time and watch the movie 21
if yo count cards then you have a higher probabilty of kowing whats coming up and you can use that info to your advantage, if you count cards well you can break the bank. this is frowned upon by the casino so don't tell anyone what your doing
good luck

it's simple. if a dealer has 16, they have to hit. if they get a face, they loose.
as for aces, blackjack pays 3 to 2.
Not quite right. You don't bet more on faces and aces. You bet the same, and base your decision to stick or hit on the likelihood of hitting the card you need.
That's why you need to count low cards too, not just pics and 10's. the faces and aces 'rule' is an excellent way to give the dealer a lot of cash when you continually bust out.
Accurate Blackjack Basic Strategy Deviation Chart?
I can count cards and I was wondering where on the internet I can find a chart that accurately deviates (changes) from Basic Strategy based upon the count.
If you know where to find one, please give a link or tell me the website name.
That would depend on your counting system. I would be careful. some counting systems are based on counting certain cards and giving them certain values. usually the biggest change in the basic strategy would be when you play against shoe games. Shoe games should be avoided in my opinion. Shoe games are too dependent on random shuffles. you NEVER get that in a casino.
The deviations from basic strategy overall tend to provide a more agressive betting strategy and this can get you noticed in the casinos.
Keep this in mind when you play.
Here is a link to the most common deviations: http://www.thedoverpro.com/blackjack/bla…

Good Luck and wishing you not to lose a lot of money.
From what I know, to be able to have a small advantage against the house you must use counting-techniques at blackjack, but most casinos don't allow card-counters to play.
A good strategy will only diminish the house edge and will make your winning chances closer to 50%.
Here is a simple blackjack strategy that is considered to be optimal for playing without card-counting:

gambling is a mugs game. honestly i know from experience 
. however all you need do in blackjack is accumalative bets(starting at lowest possible unit). tho learn how the games odds work and you can win generally from playing the odds accuratly
its really simple… learn and memorise blackjack basic strategy.

this will be the foundation of any card counting strategies you might choose to learn later. but basic strategy is the mathematically best way to play. it reduces the house edge to 0.5-1%
