Also... I asked before and no one answered me. I was looking to learn more about the betting process in counting. Now I had a few explain it but it still doesnt really make sense to me. What I really need is to see it on paper or on screen. So if anyone knows of any good books or website could they please pass that along.
Thanks is advance

Pick up either Kevin Blackwoods "Play Blackjack Like a Pro", Bootleggers "100 Proof Blackjack" (or is it 200 proof?), and Arnold Snyder's latest edition of "Blackbelt in Blackjack". Between those three books you'll have a very strong foundation on the game as it exists today. After you read them I suggest you look through the Bibliography in the back for more books you can read.
Avoid anything by John Patrick or that touts simple progressions or money managment techniques as a way to win at blackjack.
What about professional Blackjack by stanford wong? Is that one any good?
Is a good book, it is the High/Low Bible but there are other books out now with a more complete up-to-date description of playing in todays games. That said, no BJ collection is complete without it and you will learn a tidbit or two from almost any reputable blackjack book you read.
These are some of the best...
Blackjack Attack
Professional Blackjack
Blackjack Secrets
Worlds Greatest Blackjack Book
Blackjack for Blood
Arnold Snyder's Big Book of Blackjack
Blackjack and the Law
Million Dollar Blackjack (best chapter on Single deck in print IMHO)
Beyond Counting
Comp City
I'll also go ahead and mention my bud' Barfarkel's Book "You've Got Heat" as a nice picture of low limit grinding style of play and comp abusing of casinos.
you'll get software and answer these questions yourself. I used SBA by Karel Janecek and PBA by Smith & Wong. PBA has practice modules too. The Casino Verite software seems well regarded although I never used it. PBA uses sampling with replacement to generate indices, instantaneous but slightly less accuracy. SBA runs simulations to arrive at indices. If you compare the 2 sets of indices and run win rate simulations you'll hardly see any difference, though..it's that small. On the order of a penny or two.
I am wondering why there haven't been any recent posts regarding the BJStrike software by Karl D. I know I would be very reluctant to buy software that doesn't have the endorsement of some highly respected authority. If the software is valid then his marketing approach is in need of repair.
CVData also uses simlation for index generation. I really don't see the reason to use less accurate methods.
These three books fell apart from use when I first started
Playing Blackjack as a Business... Revere
Turning the tables on Las Vegas......Anderson
Worlds Greatest Blackjack Book... Humble
