The same RC can mean something different.
RC +8 with four decks left is about TC +2. With two decks left it is about TC +4. True Count adds shoe depth to the context; it does not promise a win.

Start with the question
you want answered.
Skim the five parts of the product. Open only the tool you care about, then go deeper at your own pace.
A good decision can still lose once.
EV compares what actions are worth over many similar situations. It measures decision quality, not the result of the next card.
Risk changes before the cards do.
Stake sizing and forecasts show how much capital is exposed to variance. They cannot improve card order or make a bet safe.
FIVE PARTS OF THE PRODUCT
Choose the job.
Open the detail when it matters.
01ANALYZER · LIVE SHOEKeep the cards, count and decision in one state.You enter the visible cards and table rules. The Analyzer checks what you are allowed to do, compares the available choices and explains where the answer came from.12 features
Advantage Count · BetaReal product interface
01.01
Visible-card entry
Add ranks A–10 to your hand, the dealer or other exposed seats.
Every visible card changes the remaining composition and the count used by later analysis.
01.02
Running Count
Applies the Hi-Lo tags to every entered card.
Shows how the exposed cards have shifted the shoe before accounting for its remaining depth.
01.03
True Count
Normalizes Running Count by the estimated decks remaining and also shows the active index convention.
Makes the same Running Count comparable at different points in the shoe; it does not create a fixed guaranteed edge.
01.04
AUTO, FAST and FULL
Choose automatic mode, a faster estimate or the deepest supported calculation.
You decide whether speed or calculation depth matters more, and the program still tells you which route it used.
01.05
Legal-action comparison
Filters Hit, Stand, Double, Split, Resplit and Surrender through the active table rules before comparing them.
Prevents a mathematically attractive but illegal action from becoming the recommendation.
01.06
Basic vs TC strategy
Places the default strategy beside the active count-based policy and its source.
Shows when a count-based deviation changes the default action and why.
01.07
Action EV and result source
Compares the long-run value of supported actions and labels the result EXACT, APPROX, SIMULATION or STRATEGY.
The label tells you how the answer was produced. EV compares decisions over time; it does not predict the next card.
01.08
Insurance and dealer checks
Handles insurance choices plus peek, Ace-only peek and no-hole-card continuation gates.
Keeps the decision order consistent with the table procedure and dealer-blackjack exposure.
01.09
Split workflow
Tracks separate hands, mandatory draws, Double, Resplit and Split-Ace restrictions.
Lets the same rules and remaining shoe govern the full multi-hand decision.
01.10
Cash Out comparison
Converts a live offer into the selected total-return or net-profit contract and compares it with continuing.
Treats variable Cash Out separately from surrender instead of assuming they are the same action.
01.11
Mobile decision dock
Mirrors the round phase, best action and result quality on narrow screens.
Keeps the decision visible when the full desktop layout stacks vertically.
01.12
Undo and round recovery
Supports single Undo, Undo 5, whole-round rewind and confirmed previous-round restore.
Makes input correction possible without silently rebuilding the shoe or session.
02PLAYER EDGE · BET & BANKROLLSeparate mathematical edge from the amount placed at risk.These tools estimate long-run conditions and show how different stake sizes can affect a bankroll. They manage exposure; they do not predict the next hand.9 features
02.01
Player Edge
Simulates many complete rounds from the current shoe and selected rules before the next deal.
It estimates long-run conditions at this point in the shoe. It is not your chance of winning the next round.
02.02
Confidence ranges
Shows how uncertain the Player Edge estimate still is and how many simulated rounds support it.
A small positive estimate may still be noise. The range prevents it from looking more certain than it is.
02.03
Bet Recommendation
Combines the estimated edge, your risk setting, bankroll and table limits.
It suggests how much capital to expose. If the safer amount is below the table minimum, the answer can be SKIP.
02.04
Actual Bet tracking
Optionally stores one real base-bet amount and reuses it until changed or cleared.
Connects settled units to money P&L, turnover, exposure and recommendation comparison.
02.05
Bankroll profile
Stores bankroll, minimum and maximum bet, chip step, currency and Cautious, Balanced or Aggressive risk.
Changes stake sizing and risk, not the underlying cards or house rules.
02.06
Bankroll Forecast
Runs many possible future shoes while the count, bankroll and recommended stake change after each round.
It shows possible ending ranges and the risk of reaching a dangerous bankroll level—not one predicted future.
02.07
Forecast controls
Offers 50–85% penetration, 500/1,000/2,000 paths and recommended-skip versus forced-minimum comparison.
Lets the risk scenario match the table depth and makes an unsafe minimum-bet comparison explicit.
02.08
Fixed-edge stress check
Keeps one conservative edge and stake unchanged to test a deliberately simplified worst-case scenario.
This is an advanced stress test, kept separate from the more realistic changing-shoe forecast.
02.09
Exposure and drawdown
Shows how many minimum bets the bankroll covers and the modeled risk of falling 25%, 50% or to a chosen floor.
It makes the possible cost of variance, Double, Split and Insurance exposure easier to see.
03TRAINER PROTurn a recommendation into a repeatable decision.Choose the type of hands you want to practise. The trainer shows where you went wrong and gives more attention to recurring weak spots.8 features
Advantage Count · BetaReal product interface
03.01
Three objectives
Choose Basic Strategy, True Count deviations or exact-composition FULL EV practice.
Separates default rules knowledge, index decisions and composition-sensitive comparison.
03.02
Hand filters
Focus on all hands, hard totals, soft totals, pairs or surrender spots.
Targets one decision family instead of relying on random repetition alone.
03.03
Deterministic seeds
Restart the same generated sequence from a known seed.
Makes a difficult drill reproducible for review or bug reporting.
03.04
Exact shoe input
FULL EV drills reveal the complete remaining A–10 composition before an answer is scored.
Binds the visible exercise to the exact state evaluated by the production engine.
03.05
Legal answer buttons
Enables only actions supported as legal for the generated hand and ruleset.
Reinforces the table contract as well as the mathematical answer.
03.06
Cost of a mistake
Compares your answer with the strongest supported action and expresses the difference in wager units.
Some wrong answers cost much more than others. This helps you decide what to practise first.
03.07
Weak-spot focus
Stores bounded error buckets and can repeat the patterns causing the most trouble.
Turns past mistakes into targeted practice.
03.08
Trainer records
Tracks attempts, correct answers, accuracy, streaks, total regret, recent answers and JSON export.
Makes progress and recurring errors reviewable on the device.
04COUNT TRAINERPractise the arithmetic and the memory separately.Use static exercises to understand True Count or follow a timed shoe to test whether you can keep the count in memory under pressure.7 features
Advantage Count · BetaReal product interface
04.01
Snapshot True Count
Shows a starting RC, deck estimates and a visible group of cards, then asks for the final TC.
Practises the complete RC-to-TC calculation with a transparent answer breakdown.
04.02
Timed Live Shoe
Flashes physical cards without replacement, hides them and pauses at automatic or manual checkpoints.
Trains count retention under time pressure rather than only static arithmetic.
04.03
Four difficulties
Beginner, Normal, Hard and Expert vary the workload and starting depth.
Allows speed and shoe depth to increase as accuracy improves.
04.04
Adjustable timing
Slow, Normal, Fast, Expert and 200–5,000 ms custom card speed are available in Live Shoe.
Controls pressure without changing the underlying Hi-Lo contract.
04.05
Live controls
Start, pause, resume, request a checkpoint, continue and end the shoe.
Makes long drills manageable and supports deliberate self-testing.
04.06
Answer breakdown
Shows card delta, actual/final RC, raw TC, index decks and the expected index TC.
Identifies whether an error came from counting, deck estimation or conversion.
04.07
Separate statistics
Tracks attempts, accuracy, mean error, streak, cards tracked, recent checkpoints and JSON export.
Keeps counting performance isolated from Decision Trainer and Analyzer history.
05SESSIONS · HISTORY · RECOVERYMake the path to a result inspectable and reversible.Review decisions, results and bankroll exposure while keeping luck separate from decision quality. Corrections and exports leave a visible record.7 features
05.01
Round result tracking
Settles wins, losses, pushes, break-even results and individual Split hands in units and optional money.
Separates whether a hand won from whether the earlier decision was mathematically sound.
05.02
Session statistics
Tracks rounds, win rate, net units, P&L, decisions, deviations, splits, average TC and result counts.
Creates a compact record of both play outcomes and analytical decisions.
05.03
Money analysis
Adds total wagered, average base bet, maximum settled drawdown and Under/Match/Over recommendation counts.
Shows actual exposure and whether bet sizing followed the active plan.
05.04
Round history
Keeps the current or last completed event ledger with batch and whole-round correction controls.
Makes card and action corrections visible instead of silently editing totals.
05.05
Local recovery
Keeps a checked recovery copy on your device and makes a second conflicting tab read-only.
Closing a tab or opening another one is less likely to corrupt the active session.
05.06
Session exports
Exports a detailed JSON record and a simpler decision CSV with rules, strategy and shoe history.
You can review or debug the session outside the app while keeping the calculation trail attached.
05.07
Independent resets
Reset Shoe preserves session statistics; Reset Session preserves the shoe and count.
Avoids destroying unrelated state when only one layer needs to restart.

CURRENT PRODUCT BOUNDARY
Manual analysis and training—never automated play.
Advantage Count models one observed player seat plus the dealer. Cards are entered manually. It does not connect to a casino, read a table screen, place wagers or know unseen future cards. Cash Out and other occupied seats remain outside the bankroll forecast, and unsupported strategy/rules combinations fail closed.
