How the programs work

Each program is a list of daily tasks. The first opens when you start; each next task opens on the day after you finish the one before it, so a program takes at least as many days as it has tasks.

Tasks are measured from what you do on the site after they open: decisions in the blackjack trainer, the daily shoe, the deck countdown, the true count and index play drills, and the count checks at the table. Nothing to tick off by hand.
