Counting cards shifting the edge in your favor

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting scheme achieve an edge over the gambling den.

The reasoning behind this is easy.

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

Low cards favour the casino because they help her acquire winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, 14, 15, or sixteen total on their first two cards).

In casino 21, you can stay on your stiffs if you want to, but the house cannot.

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

The high cards favor the player because they might break the dealer when she hits her stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.

Despite the fact blackjacks are, evenly allocated between the casino and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the player has an advantage.

You do not have to compute the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the croupier.

You simply need to know at what point the shoe is rich or depleted in high cards and you can jump your bet when the expectation is in your favor.

This is a simple commentary of why card-counting schemes work, but gives you an insight into how the rationale works.

When playing 21 over an extended term card counting will aid in tilting the edge in your favour by approx two percent.
