Is there any program that allows you to enter in the cards played, and the computer calculates the best play and bet based on the advantage/disadvantage? I am not talking about counting cards as high or low, I am looking for a program that counts every single card and makes the best play knowing all the cards played.

Also, does anyone know what kind of an advantage you would have with this type of counting? I assume it would be much higher than standard card counting.

Yes, the BeeJack software will do that for you:

However, it will not give you much more of an advantage than card counting. The playing deviations are not worth very much in shoe games, which are what most people play around the world. The player's biggest advantage comes from proper betting.

Most card counting systems have a betting correlation (BC) of around .96-.99. That means that they are 96-99% accurate. A computer will only increase your BC by about 1-3%. It will increase your playing efficiency quite a bit, but your overall advantage will probably not increase by much compared to a skillful player.
