Counting cards shifting the edge in your favour

Card counting works and players use a card counting scheme obtain an edge over the gambling hall.

The reasoning behind this is easy.

Low cards favor the casino in vingt-et-un and high cards favor the gambler.

Low cards favor the house because they help them acquire winning totals on his hands when she is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen total on his initial 2 cards).

In casino vingt-et-un, you can stay on your stiffs if you want to, but the croupier can’t.

The house has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of wagering on vingt-et-un require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will bust them.

The high cards favour the gambler because they could bust the casino when she hits his stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.

Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally allocated between the dealer and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the player has an edge.

You don’t have to count the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the croupier.

You only need to know at what point the deck is flush or depleted in high cards and you can increase your action when the edge is in your favour.

This is a basic breakdown of how card-counting systems work, but gives you an understanding into how the rationale works.

When gambling on 21 over an extended time card counting will aid in tilting the expectation in your favor by approximately two percent.
