blackjack counting cards

How is it that some people may have 16 to count cards in blackjack?
Every time I have, I will be lucky to get a maximum 5. In general, it is 1 or 0.
If the count rises to 16, would be crazy to Paris. Your chances of getting a Blackjack and / or distributor is shining through the ceiling. But do not forget … It is opportunity. No warranty. Good luck!
