@giggle,
It's just a guess but I think card counting means you add up all the cards.

If the 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace each equal 10 and you have four suits of cards that would be 200 points.

Add 2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 for the remainder of the cards = 44

44x4 = 176

200 + 176 = 376

@giggle,
Try Boomerang's formula, but value aces as ones.

If the 10, Jack, Queen, and King each equal 10 and you have four suits of cards that would be 160 points.

Add 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 for the remainder of the cards = 45

45x4 = 180

160 + 180 = 340

@DrewDad,
Or try counting the aces as 11 like they do in blackjack.
