Counting cards tilting the edge in your favor

Card counting works and players use a card counting approach gain an advantage over the gambling den.

The reasoning behind this is easy.

Low cards favour the house in vingt-et-un and high cards favor the player.

Low cards favour the house because they help her make winning totals on her hands when he is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, or 16 total on her initial two cards).

In casino blackjack, you can hold on your stiffs if you want to, but the house can’t.

He has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of wagering on vingt-et-un require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how flush the deck is in high cards that will bust him.

The high cards favour the player because they may break the house when he hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

Though blackjacks are, equally divided between the casino and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the player has an advantage.

You don’t have to tally the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the casino.

You simply need to know at what point the deck is rich or depleted in high cards and you can jump your bet when the expectation is in your favor.

This is a basic breakdown of why card-counting schemes work, but gives you an insight into why the logic works.

When playing chemin de fer over the longer term card counting will assist in tilting the odds in your favour by approx 2%.
