Counting
Counting, or to count, was a process of determining the number or quantity of an object. The number of something counted was known as a count.

In 2365, during a game of blackjack, the fictional character  asked Lieutenant Commander Data whether or not he was a card counting "fella". Data misinterpreted the meaning of the question for the general concept of counting. As the number of playing cards and their values remained quite constant, Data asked what would be the purpose of counting them.

According to Texas, it was bad luck to count your chips at the table. Commander William T. Riker later asked Data if he had kept count of his winnings, which were of 12.3 million United States dollars at that point. ()
