Counting cards shifting the expectation in your favour

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting plan gain an advantage over the gambling den.

The reason this is easy.

Low cards favour the house in vingt-et-un and high cards favor the player.

Low cards favour the house because they help them acquire winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a 12, 13, 14, fifteen, or sixteen total on his 1st 2 cards).

In casino chemin de fer, you can stay on your stiffs if you choose to, but the casino cannot.

He has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of betting on vingt-et-un require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how flush the shoe is in high cards that will bust her.

The high cards favour the gambler because they may bust the croupier when she hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

Though blackjacks are, evenly dispersed between the casino 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 do not have to tally the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the house.

You simply need to know at what point the deck is loaded or reduced in high cards and you can jump your bet when the odds are in your favor.

This is a basic explanation of why card-counting schemes work, but gives you an understanding into why the rationale works.

When wagering on blackjack over an extended time card counting will assist in changing the edge in your favour by to around 2%.
