Counting Cards: Can someone help me find the flaw in this code?

It doesn’t seem to give the correct output.

 Counting Cards

var count = 0;

function cc(card) {
 // Only change code below this line
switch (card){
  case 2:
  case 3:
  case 4:
  case 5:
  case 6: count += 1;
  break;
  case 7:
  case 8: 
  case 9: count += 0 ;
  break;
  case 10:
  case "J":
  case "Q":
  case "K":
  case "A": count -= 1;
  break;

}
if (count>0){
  return count + "Bet";
}
else {
  return count + "Hold";
}

 return "Change Me";
 // Only change code above this line
}

cc(2); cc(3); cc(7); cc('K'); cc('A');
