Counting cards tilting the odds in your favor
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting plan obtain an advantage over the casino.
The reasoning behind this is simple.
Low cards favour the casino in 21 and high cards favor the player.
Low cards favor the dealer because they aid him make winning totals on his hands when he is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, or 16 total on his initial 2 cards).
In casino vingt-et-un, you can stand on your stiffs if you want to, but the croupier can’t.
The casino has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will bust him.
The high cards favor the player because they could break the croupier when she hits his stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally dispersed between the croupier and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
You do not have to compute the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the casino.
You only need to know at what point the deck is rich or depleted in high cards and you can increase your action when the expectation is in your favor.
This is a simple explanation of how card-counting schemes work, but gives you an understanding into how the logic works.
When betting on vingt-et-un over the longer term card counting will aid in shifting the edge in your favour by to around two percent.
