3) The Ace/10 Front Count is a super-simple, recreational counting system designed for six decks, but is adaptable to other configurations. You simply add together all the 10's thru Aces that come out in the first two decks of a six deck shoe (using the discard tray as your visual gauge to recognize two dealt decks). YOU DO NOT NEED TO COUNT BEYOND THAT POINT. On average, you will have seen 40 Ace/10's by then. But whenever you've seen 36 or fewer, the remaining shoe will possess a player advantage (+1.6 true at "36", +2.0 true @ "35", etc.) and you should increase your bets substantially for the rest of the shoe -- WIN OR LOSE. If your front count is "42" or higher, you should walk. If it's "37" to "41", stay and continue to bet one unit. This is a "poor man's" counting system and will net an edge only about one third that of a full blown card count, but it beat's the snot out of playing with a disadvantage.
