Card counting shifting the edge in your favor
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting scheme obtain an advantage over the gambling hall.
The reasoning behind this is simple.
Low cards favor the dealer in 21 and high cards favor the player.
Low cards favor the croupier because they help her make winning totals on his hands when she is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, 14, fifteen, or sixteen total on her first two cards).
In casino chemin de fer, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the house cannot.
She has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of wagering on twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will bust him.
The high cards favour the player because they might bust the dealer when she hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Though blackjacks are, evenly dispersed between the croupier and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the gambler has an advantage.
You don’t have to compute the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the house.
You only need to know at what point the deck is flush or reduced in high cards and you can increase your action when the edge is in your favour.
This is a simple explanation of how card-counting plans work, but gives you an insight into how the logic works.
When gambling on vingt-et-un over the longer term card counting will help in changing the odds in your favor by approximately 2 percent.
