Card counting shifting the edge in your favour
Card counting works and players use a card counting system gain an advantage over the gambling den.
The reason for this is simple.
Low cards favor the casino in 21 and high cards favor the gambler.
Low cards favour the croupier because they help them acquire winning totals on his hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, 13, 14, fifteen, or sixteen total on her first two cards).
In casino twenty-one, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the house cannot.
The dealer has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of gambling on blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how flush the shoe is in high cards that will break him.
The high cards favour the player because they could bust the croupier when he hits her stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
Although blackjacks are, equally distributed between the casino and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the player has an edge.
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 at what point the shoe is flush or depleted in high cards and you can elevate your action when the expectation is in your favor.
This is a simple account of why card-counting plans work, but gives you an insight into why the logic works.
When gambling on vingt-et-un over the longer term card counting will assist in tilting the odds in your favour by approx two percent.
