What is the value of holdbet at the end of your function when count is 0?

You may want to go go back and visit the switch syntax. There is something you are missing before your case 10 starts. Also when copying your code in the challenge I see this

" Cards Sequence 7, 8, 9 should return the string 0 Hold"

Your logic though only checks to see if something greater or less than 0 so you will have to adjust your if/ else - if statement
