If the count is favorable for the player it is also favorable for the dealer. I also like to keep the count to get an edge on the DRAW hands, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 against the Dealers up card of 7, 8, 9, 10 but here again, if the dealers down card is a 5, 6, 7, he also has draw out cards coming. I also like to keep the count for DOUBLE DOWN situations. It is not perfect by any means but it sure makes more sense than to pay a Grand for electric toes. That thing must have a digital display counter on it that you wear someplace that I think will get you noticed by any casino in a hurry.
