Card counting shifting the edge in your favor

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting approach gain an edge over the casino.

The reasoning behind this is easy.

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

Low cards favor the casino because they help him make winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, 13, 14, 15, or sixteen total on her initial 2 cards).

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

He has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of betting on twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will break them.

The high cards favor the gambler because they might bust the croupier when he hits his stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.

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

You don’t have to compute 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 when the deck is rich or poor in high cards and you can up your wager when the odds are in your favor.

This is a basic commentary of why card-counting systems work, but gives you an understanding into why the logic works.

When gambling on 21 over an extended time card counting will aid in shifting the expectation in your favour by approx two percent.
