Counting cards tilting the odds in your favor

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

Low cards favor the dealer in 21 and high cards favor the gambler.

Low cards favor the house because they assist him make winning totals on her hands when she is stiff (has a 12, 13, 14, fifteen, or 16 total on her 1st two cards).

In casino blackjack, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the dealer can’t.

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

The high cards favor the player because they could bust the croupier when she hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

Though blackjacks are, equally dispensed between the dealer and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the gambler has an advantage.

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

You just need to know when the deck is rich or depleted in high cards and you can elevate your bet when the expectation is 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 vingt-et-un over the longer term card counting will help in tilting the odds in your favour by approx 2 percent.
