• high card (tens, Aces and Pictures) consist of tag "minus 1"
• The remaining (seven, eight, nine) consist of tag "zero"

The count prior to the very 1st deal is zero. As the cards get dealt, you just need to keep adding the tags for each card dealt such that during any point of time you get one running count which might be either positive, zero or negative.
