CountEdge

The Only Blackjack Coaching Program Where Your Coach Sees Your Real Mistakes

Not what you tell them. The actual hands. Every decision. Every count. 12 weeks, weekly group calls, live casino test-out in Kelowna. Profitable counter or money back.

Most counters quit in the first six months. Not because counting is hard. Because they have no idea what they are actually doing wrong. They self-report to a coach, or they have no coach at all, and the mistakes that are bleeding them out stay invisible. Variance gets blamed. The edge erodes. They walk away thinking the game does not work.

THE GUARANTEE

The Guarantee Nobody Else Offers

  • Attend 3 calls per month
  • Play 5,000 hands per month
  • Do both for 12 weeks

You become a profitable card counter. If you do not, you get your money back.

We can make this guarantee because we see the data. Your coach reviews your actual hand decisions before every call. Not a self-reported summary.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Everything in the Program

Weekly group calls

Live coaching call every week for 12 weeks. Coach reviews your report card before the call. No prep needed. The app already did it.

Weekly report card

Emailed before every call. Mistake rate, deviation accuracy, bet sizing accuracy, hands played, P&L. Your coach sees it first.

Elite app, 3 months free

Full CountEdge Elite included for your entire program. Hand decision logging, deviation trainer, AP analyzer, bet ramp editor. Worth $291 standalone.

Locked bankroll and bet ramp

Your coach sets your bankroll and bet ramp at the start. No guessing. No drift. The app enforces it.

Formal test-out

When you are ready, you take a formal test-out. Pass it and we go to a live casino together in Kelowna. Real tables, real money, coach watching.

Downsell to Elite

After 12 weeks you convert to $97/month Elite. Your data, your history, your progress, all stays.

THE DATA LAYER

Your Coach Sees What No Other Coach Can See

Every hand you play in the CountEdge trainer is logged silently. True count, correct action, played action, hint used, bet size vs recommended. By the time your weekly call happens your coach has already reviewed your mistake categories, your deviation accuracy, your bet sizing compliance. The call is about fixing real problems. Not figuring out what they are.

WHO IT'S FOR

Who This Is For

Complete beginner

You have never counted before. That is fine. We start from zero, build basic strategy first, then counting, then deviations, then bet spread. 12 weeks is enough. The guarantee covers you.

Intermediate counter

You have been playing but the results are not there. The app will find the holes faster than you think. Most intermediates have two or three specific mistake categories bleeding their EV. We fix those.

Advanced player

You want a formal test-out and a second set of eyes on your game. We review your data, run the test-out, and take you to a live casino. If you pass clean you do not need 12 weeks. We will tell you that on the call.

HONEST DISCLAIMER

Who This Is Not For

If you cannot handle losing 4 out of 10 sessions, this is not for you. If you need to make money in the first month, this is not for you. If you are looking for a shortcut that bypasses the work, there is not one and we will not pretend otherwise. Card counting is a real edge and it requires real volume to express. If you are willing to put in the hands and the calls, the math works in your favor. That is the deal.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Common Questions

What does "profitable" mean in the guarantee?

Profitable means a positive EV/hour rate based on your bet ramp, your true count distribution, and your decision accuracy as measured by the app. We use the same math the books use: Griffin for indices, Schlesinger for variance, Kelly for sizing. If after 12 weeks the math says you are not a profitable counter, you get your money back.

Do I need to know basic strategy before I start?

No. The first weeks lock you onto basic strategy until you are perfect, then add counting, then deviations, then bet spread. Most beginners are at index play by week six. The 12 weeks is built for someone starting from zero.

Is the app included or do I pay separately?

Included. Elite is unlocked the day you start. It stays unlocked for the full 12 weeks. After the program you convert to $97/month Elite if you want to keep it. Cancel any time. Your history stays in your account.

Do I have to travel to Kelowna for the test-out?

Yes if you want the in-person live casino session. That session is the capstone of the program and only happens in Kelowna. If travel is impossible we run the test-out remote, the app verifies the play, and you skip the live casino piece. You still qualify for the guarantee.

What's the refund policy if I don't meet the call/hands requirements?

The guarantee covers people who do the work. Three calls a month and 5,000 hands a month for 12 weeks. Miss the calls or the hands and the guarantee does not apply. We make this rule because we have seen what happens without it. People blame variance instead of volume. The numbers do not lie if you put in the volume.

Group vs 1-on-1, which is right for me?

Group is the only option right now. Five to eight people per cohort. You learn faster watching other counters get coached on the same mistakes you are about to make. 1-on-1 coaching is coming. Get on the waitlist if you want it.

Is card counting still viable in 2026?

Yes. Hi-Lo on a 6-deck H17 DAS LS game with decent penetration is still positive EV. The casinos have not changed the math, they have changed the heat. Cover play is part of the program for that reason. Anyone who tells you counting is dead is selling you something else.

What happens after the 12 weeks?

You convert to $97/month Elite, you keep the app, you keep your data, and you keep playing. Some graduates stay in a private alumni group for ongoing review. Most just play. The program is built to make you self-sufficient, not dependent.
