Card counting getting the odds in your favor
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting plan obtain an edge over the casino.
The reason for this is simple.
Low cards favour the house in vingt-et-un and high cards favor the player.
Low cards favour the croupier because they help her make winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a 12, 13, 14, 15, or 16 total on his initial 2 cards).
In casino blackjack, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the croupier cannot.
She has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will break them.
The high cards favour the player because they may bust the croupier when she hits their stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.
Though blackjacks are, equally allocated between the croupier and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when she receives a blackjack so the player has an edge.
You don’t have to tally the data 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 poor in high cards and you can boost your bet when the odds are in your favour.
This is a basic commentary of why card-counting systems work, but gives you an insight into how the logic works.
When gambling on 21 over the longer term card counting will aid in tilting the edge in your favor by approx 2%.
