Card counting getting the odds in your favour

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting plan achieve an edge over the casino.

The reasoning behind this is easy.

Low cards favor the casino in blackjack and high cards favour the gambler.

Low cards favour the dealer because they aid them make winning totals on his hands when she is stiff (has a 12, 13, fourteen, 15, or sixteen total on their 1st 2 cards).

In casino blackjack, you can stay on your stiffs if you choose to, but the croupier cannot.

The house has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on twenty-one require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will bust them.

The high cards favor the gambler because they could bust the dealer when he hits her stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.

Though blackjacks are, evenly distributed between the house and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she receives a blackjack so the player has an advantage.

You don’t have to count the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the croupier.

You only need to know at what point the shoe is loaded or poor in high cards and you can elevate your bet when the edge is in your favour.

This is a simple account of why card-counting systems work, but gives you an insight into why the logic works.

When betting on blackjack over the longer term card counting will help in shifting the edge in your favor by approx two percent.
