Card counting tilting the odds in your favour
Card counting works and players use a card counting system obtain an edge over the casino.
The reason for this is easy.
Low cards favour the dealer in blackjack and high cards favor the gambler.
Low cards favour the croupier because they assist him make winning totals on her hands when she is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, or 16 total on her 1st two cards).
In casino twenty-one, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the dealer can’t.
He has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of playing twenty-one require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how flush the deck is in high cards that will break them.
The high cards favor the player because they could break the house when she hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Though blackjacks are, equally dispersed between the house and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she receives a blackjack so the gambler has an advantage.
You do not have to tally the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the house.
You simply need to know at what point the shoe is flush or poor in high cards and you can elevate your action when the odds are in your favor.
This is a simple commentary of why card-counting systems work, but gives you an understanding into why the rationale works.
When wagering on vingt-et-un over the longer term card counting will help in tilting the expectation in your favour by approx two percent.
