Blackjack Card Counting EV Calculator
This tool is for educational math practice on card counting theory only — it estimates theoretical expected value per hour based on standard blackjack advantage-per-count assumptions. It is not gambling advice and does not guarantee outcomes.
About this calculator
Estimate theoretical hourly expected value while practicing card counting skills based on true count, bet spread, and hands per hour, for educational and skill-practice purposes only.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this calculator for real-money gambling strategy?
No. This is an educational math tool for understanding card counting theory and expected value concepts. It does not account for casino countermeasures, variance, or guarantee any result.
What does 'edge per true count' mean?
It's a commonly cited theoretical estimate (often around 0.5%) of how much the player's statistical edge increases for each additional true count point, based on standard blackjack literature.
Why is expected value not the same as actual winnings?
EV is a long-run average based on probability theory. Actual results in any single session are subject to significant variance and can differ substantially from theoretical EV.
