Counting cards shifting the expectation in your favor
Card counting works and players use a card counting system gain an advantage over the gambling hall.
The reasoning behind this is simple.
Low cards favour the dealer in twenty-one and high cards favor the player.
Low cards favour the casino because they help her acquire winning totals on his hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, 14, 15, or sixteen total on his first 2 cards).
In casino vingt-et-un, you can stay on your stiffs if you want to, but the house cannot.
The house has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing 21 require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will break them.
The high cards favour the player because they might bust the house when he hits her stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
Though blackjacks are, equally dispensed between the casino and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she receives a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
You don’t have to tally the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the casino.
You only need to know when the deck is flush or reduced in high cards and you can elevate your action when the edge is in your favour.
This is a basic breakdown of why card-counting plans work, but gives you an insight into how the logic works.
When betting on 21 over an extended term card counting will aid in shifting the odds in your favour by to around two percent.
