The true count holds more significance than the running count in card counting because it provides a more accurate reflection of the deck's composition by adjusting for the number of decks remaining. While the running count simply tracks the ratio of high to low cards, it doesn't account for how many cards are left to be played. The true count corrects this by dividing the running count by the number of remaining decks, offering a clearer insight into betting and strategy decisions.

Absolutely! The true count in card counting is essential because it provides a more accurate assessment of the current state of the deck or shoe. By normalizing the running count to account for the number of decks remaining to be played, the true count offers a more precise measure of the player's advantage or disadvantage. This adjustment can significantly impact betting decisions, as it allows players to bet more confidently when the true count is in their favor and vice versa. Ultimately, incorporating the true count into your card counting strategy can enhance your overall effectiveness and increase your chances of winning in the long run.
