Need help with a web application to count cards

#1
I created a web application to count cards for people which play at a live casino. You can find it here:
http://www.blackjack-online.bz/contare-carte/applicazione/
Please resist to say we do not have to play at a live casino and help me. I created that page because I know many people play at a live casino and it could be helpful if they do not own an iphone to count cards.
My application should work, if you find some mistake please inform me.
Everytime you click on a button with a number it means that card has been dealt. Example: if you click twice on 7 it means someone received two 7s.
I have some questions:
A) I used Hi Lo system because at a live casino they use 6 or 8 decks. Do you know a better system I should use?
B) After finish the application I realized that I could know every remaining card (for example I can know how many Aces are remaining, how many Twos are remaining, how many Threes are remaining,..) so I thought that using a count card system is not good when I can know every remaining card. Do you know if there are some count card studies on internet when you know exactly all the remaining cards?
C) Is it better a 65% penetration, knowing only the true count of a card count system, or is it better a 50% penetration knowing ALL the cards (always with 6 or 8 decks)?

Sorry for my English.

Knowing specifically what cards are remaining isn't really going to help you any. Even after the last hand is dealt there is till going to be a deck or more remaining. So even if you knew that, say all the 7's had been played, it's not likely to ever help you any. You still don't know what cards you're going to be dealt, what your hit card(s) will be or what the dealer has in the hole and/or what his hit card(s) will be. And it certainly is not worth getting barred and/or arrested over! Any electronic aid to help you count cards has been declared illegal by the courts.

Hello 21gunsalute,
did you read my first row of text when I talk about "live casino"?
The player will play at a live casino. Probably the player is in France and the casino in Spain. How could it barred?
Probably my English is bad, "live casino" means streaming dealer with webcam. No traditional casino.

Live casino means you go to a casino to play a live game! So you're talking about playing online? I don't know of any sites where counting cards (or using such a device) would work. The cards are either electronically shuffled after every hand, selected randomly or the casino in question is just plain involved in deliberately giving you terrible cards to take all your money (after allowing you win a few hands to entice you to play more). I believe every online casino uses one of these methods. I wouldn't waste my time and money on them. I certainly wouldn't trust any of them, although I'm sure there are some reputable ones out there.

Please go here http://www.livedealer.org/ so you can discover correctly what a live casino is.

ycming:
I agree with you that live games are not good enough, and counting probably could not help a lot with a penetration of 50%.
But you are talking about ordinary counting (ko, hi lo, ...). My question concerns counting without this type of
approximate counting. I am able to count all the cards, by my web application, that is better to assign values to cards.
I want to propose you an example at a live casino:
8 decks, S17, D9, No DAS, No Surrender, Peek.
We have 12 and the dealer has 4. We are counting by hi lo.
There are no more Jacks, Queen, Tens, Twos, Threes, Fours. That means true count = 0. Penetration = 46%.
Basic Strategy says: STAND.
I know that inside the decks there are 160 cards that can help me to get a better point and 32 (only the Kings) that can let me bust.
Why should I stand if the deck is full of cards that can help me to improve my hand?
