Card counting tilting the edge in your favour

Card counting works and players use a card counting plan gain an edge over the gambling den.

The reasoning behind this is simple.

Low cards favour the house in chemin de fer and high cards favor the player.

Low cards favor the casino because they help her make winning totals on his hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen total on her 1st 2 cards).

In casino 21, you can stay on your stiffs if you want to, but the dealer can’t.

The casino has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of gambling on vingt-et-un require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will bust them.

The high cards favor the gambler because they could bust the croupier when she hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

Although blackjacks are, equally distributed between the house 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 add up the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the house.

You only need to know at what point the shoe is flush or poor in high cards and you can elevate your bet when the odds are in your favor.

This is a simple commentary of why card-counting systems work, but gives you an insight into how the rationale works.

When betting on 21 over the longer term card counting will aid in changing the edge in your favour by approx 2 percent.
