Counting cards shifting the odds in your favor
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting approach gain an advantage over the gambling den.
The reasoning behind this is easy.
Low cards favour the house in twenty-one and high cards favour the player.
Low cards favour the casino because they help her make winning totals on her hands when he is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, 14, 15, or 16 total on her initial 2 cards).
In casino twenty-one, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the dealer can’t.
She has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. 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 him.
The high cards favour the player because they could break the croupier when she hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Although blackjacks are, evenly dispensed between the croupier and the player, 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 count the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the casino.
You only need to know at what point the deck is flush or poor in high cards and you can increase your bet when the expectation is in your favor.
This is a simple account of how card-counting plans work, but gives you an insight into how the rationale works.
When wagering on 21 over the longer term card counting will assist in shifting the expectation in your favor by to around two percent.
