Card counting tilting the edge in your favour
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting system obtain an edge over the casino.
The reasoning behind this is simple.
Low cards favor the croupier in chemin de fer and high cards favour the gambler.
Low cards favor the dealer because they assist him acquire winning totals on his hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, 13, 14, fifteen, or sixteen total on his 1st 2 cards).
In casino vingt-et-un, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the dealer cannot.
He has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of betting on blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how flush the deck is in high cards that will break her.
The high cards favor the gambler because they could break the house when she hits their stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally divided between the casino and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she receives a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
You do not have to compute the numbers 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 loaded or depleted in high cards and you can up your action when the expectation is in your favor.
This is a basic account of how card-counting systems 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 shifting the odds in your favour by approx 2 percent.
