The Lima Count

[Julio88]

The Lima count is one of the card counting systems used in blackjack. It is a level 2 counting system that was developed by Voltaire "Lima" Rakestraw. The system assigns a point value of +1, 0 or -1 to each card in the deck, and the player keeps a running count based on the cards that are dealt. It is not as widely used as some other counting systems, such as the Hi-Lo count or the KO count, but some players find it to be effective in certain situations.

The Lima count is named after John Lima, who is a professional blackjack player and author. He is the author of the book "Blackjack: The Lima Count", which is a comprehensive guide to the Lima count system. The Lima count is not as widely used as other card counting systems, but it can be a useful tool for players who are new to card counting. It is also a good system for players who want to avoid the attention of casino security.

The Lima Count, also known as the half-hi-lo system, is a simplified version of the high-low system. However, unlike the high-low system, the Lima Count does not count any value in between these two extremes.
