Counting cards shifting the edge in your favour
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting plan achieve an edge over the gambling hall.
The reason this is easy.
Low cards favour the croupier in twenty-one and high cards favour the player.
Low cards favour the croupier because they assist her acquire winning totals on her hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen total on his first two cards).
In casino blackjack, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the dealer cannot.
He has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing vingt-et-un require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will break him.
The high cards favor the player because they may break the house when he hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Despite the fact blackjacks are, evenly distributed between the house and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the player has an advantage.
You don’t have to compute the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the casino.
You just need to know when the shoe is rich or reduced in high cards and you can up your bet when the odds are in your favour.
This is a simple commentary of how card-counting plans work, but gives you an insight into why the logic works.
When gambling on twenty-one over the longer term card counting will help in changing the expectation in your favour by approx 2 percent.
