Omega: Omega II SystemIf you are already an expert at Level 1 card
counting methods like Knock Out Blackjack and the Hi-Lo counting system then you
may be ready to move on to a more advanced method of card counting. The Omega
II card counting system is a Level 2 card counting method. It is slightly more
difficult than Level 1 systems, but will allow you to get a much more accurate
count to help you excel at blackjack. Made popular by Bryce Carlson's book Blackjack
for Blood, the Omega II system has been tested and proven to be 99% efficient!
The Omega II system is a balanced system of card counting, meaning that counting
an entire 52-card deck would result in a final count of 0. As with other card
counting systems, a negative count puts the house at an edge with more low cards
in the deck and a positive count puts the player at an advantage with more high
cards remaining in the deck. Because it is a Level 2 system, Omega II makes
the count slightly more difficult by adding values of -2 and +2 into the mix.
2s, 3s and 7s are counted as +1. 4s, 5s and 6s are counted as +2. 9s are counted
as -1. 10s, Jacks, Queens and Kings are counted as -2. 8s and Aces are counted
as 0. As the Ace is not accounted for in this system, many card counters opt to
keep a side count of Aces as well. If you are used to simpler Level 1 systems
that assign values of -1, 0 and +1 don't be scared away. Sure, it will take a
little bit of practice to learn the Omega II card counting system effectively,
but once you do your winnings will be well worth the time you spent learning! |
