Hi, I go to a boarding school and me and my friends just get together to play blackjack and I was wondering if anyone can provide some advice for playing. I learned how to count cards a couple days ago and I'm able to keep up with the dealer. All cards are dealt face up except for 1 of the dealers cards so its easy to keep count. There is a min bet of 1 and max of 5 and I want to know when I should bet more or less. I learned to count cards via Hi-Lo system yet I still can't seem to come out positive. It is a double deck of cards and I'm good at keeping the running count but not too good at keeping the true count. Is there another counting system that will win me more hands with a double deck instead of Hi-Lo? Also, does it matter how many people are playing because at some points there are like 8 kids playing at the same time. Any help is greatly appreciated because I'm loosin money like a mo-fo!
