I hope I'm not being stupid right now, but is that the actual algorithm for counting cards in blackjack?

Half of it. This gives you the running count. You need to also keep track of “number of decks in shoe” -“number of cards dealt since last shuffle”/52 to tell you how many decks are left in the shoe, then divide the running count by the number of decks left to give you a true count.

True count higher than 1? Start increasing your bet accordingly.
