Heater Counter

Heater is a blackjack training app that teaches the Hi-Lo card counting system and basic strategy. Built for players who want to master the math behind the game.

WHAT HEATER DOES

Track the count in real time as cards are dealt. Get instant bet recommendations sized to your bankroll using Kelly criterion. See when to deviate from basic strategy with the Illustrious 18 built in. Monitor side bets — Insurance, Lucky Ladies, Perfect Pairs, 21+3 — with proper suit-aware logic.

Heater is designed for learning and practice. It helps players understand the math behind blackjack, develop discipline, and make informed decisions about strategy and bankroll management.

TWO COUNTING MODES

SIMPLE MODE — Fast card input for solo practice. Tap each card dealt, see the running count, true count, and recommended bet update instantly. Long-press for suit selection when accuracy matters.

TABLE MODE — Track a full blackjack table with up to 7 player seats plus the dealer. Watch how multiple hands affect the count. Practice your awareness in a realistic setting.

THE TRUTH ABOUT COUNTING

Card counting works, but the edge is small (around 0.5–1.5%) and variance is brutal. You will lose sessions even when you count perfectly. The math only shows up over thousands of hands. Heater is a learning tool — it teaches discipline and strategy, not guaranteed wins.

Casinos can ban suspected counters. They can flat-bet you, shuffle early, or ask you to leave. Don't bet what you can't afford to lose.

Heater is for players who already understand basic strategy and want to take the next step. If you're new to blackjack, learn basic strategy first — it's free everywhere online.

Play with an edge.
