Counting Cards

I recently saw the movie 21. I highly recommend this film. It was quite entertaining. My one complaint is.. I still have no f@$%@cking clue what counting cards is!!!!! I understand the concept but it when it comes down to actually knowing what to bet... Then I don't understand it at all. I know there's plus cards and minus cards and a count. But I have no idea what counting has to do with it. I think if I tried counting cards my brain would just explode everywhere in a bloody, poker chipped mess. You see, math has never been my specialty. I tend to study hard and then forget everything the minute i see that first "x" involved.... So what this all boils down to is... If you have a larger sized brain than the average human being... then there's a good chance you can make a crap load of money very quickly in many different ways. So use it. I, on the other hand, will stick to writing semi-funny blogs about the not-so-interesting aspects of life while people like Bill Gates bathe in money and wear fancy bath robes with their initials on them while smoking a pipe.
