Card counting getting the edge in your favour

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting system achieve an advantage over the casino.

The reason for this is easy.

Low cards favour the casino in 21 and high cards favor the player.

Low cards favour the house because they help them make winning totals on his hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, 13, 14, fifteen, or sixteen total on her initial 2 cards).

In casino twenty-one, you can hold on your stiffs if you want to, but the casino cannot.

The casino has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of gambling on blackjack require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will bust her.

The high cards favour the player because they could bust the dealer when she hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally dispensed between the dealer and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the player has an edge.

You do not have to compute the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the house.

You only need to know when the deck is flush or poor in high cards and you can elevate your wager when the expectation is in your favour.

This is a simple account of why card-counting schemes work, but gives you an understanding into how the logic works.

When playing vingt-et-un over the longer term card counting will aid in changing the odds in your favor by approx 2%.
