The Silver Fox Card Counting System
The Silver Fox Card Counting System is perhaps one of the simplest card counting methods out there. It was developed by a man named Ralph Stricker and published in a book. This system got its name from Stricker’s card counting skills. Since he robbed so many Atlantic City casinos of their money, Stricker was very often hunted. He was also named a “FOX”.

How the System works

The Silver Fox System uses a running count that indicates whether the deck is advantageous to the player. A positive running count means the stakes can be increased. A negative running count means it’s time to flee. The Silver Fox is a level 1 system, so it can also be mastered by beginners. In addition, it belongs to the balanced systems. In a balanced system, the count starts at 0 with a reshuffled deck and ends at 0 when all cards have been dealt. This is good to know when practicing at home. If you counted all the cards and got to 0, you used the system correctly.

Card Values

This is what makes the Silver Fox System so easy. As you can see from the table, every card in the deck except the 8, which is assigned a value of 0, is cancelled out by another card. That is, each card has another card in the deck wiping it out during the running count.
Aces in the Silver Fox System
The system mandates also keeping track of how many aces have fallen out of the deck. To do so, you simply determine the starting number of aces in the game by multiplying the number of decks by 4 and then decrementing the number as each ace is played.
The reason the Silver Fox and many other systems consider aces is pretty simple. You need an ace to get a blackjack, and a blackjack pays 3:2. If you know that the deck is favourable to you (meaning it has a high positive count) and is also rich in aces (meaning only a few aces have been played), the odds of beating casino are pretty good.

HarrisJennifer3 Great Canadian Entertainment's move to launch an online registration system for their rewards program feels long overdue. In an era where digital experiences are the norm, it's surprising that they're just now catching up. It raises questions about their commitment to keeping up with modern trends.

LewisMichelle2 The unintended consequences of excessive regulation, such as driving players to unregulated markets, are a genuine concern. Let's hope that regulators take note and find a way to create a win-win situation for all stakeholders.
