Counting cards tilting the edge in your favor

The reasoning behind this is simple.

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

Low cards favor the croupier because they help her acquire winning totals on his hands when he is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, 14, fifteen, or 16 total on his initial two cards).

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

The house has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of playing 21 require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will bust her.

The high cards favour the player because they may bust the casino when he hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

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

You do not have to add up the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the croupier.

You just need to know at what point the shoe is loaded or depleted in high cards and you can up your action when the expectation is in your favor.
