Counting cards tilting the edge in your favour
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting system gain an advantage over the casino.
The reason for this is simple.
Low cards favour the house in chemin de fer and high cards favour the gambler.
Low cards favor the croupier because they aid him make winning totals on her hands when he is stiff (has a 12, 13, 14, fifteen, or 16 total on their first two cards).
In casino chemin de fer, you can hold 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 playing 21 require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how flush the deck is in high cards that will bust them.
The high cards favour the player because they could break the casino when he hits his stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally dispersed between the house and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the gambler has an advantage.
You do not have to count the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the dealer.
You simply need to know when the shoe is loaded or reduced in high cards and you can increase your wager when the edge is in your favor.
This is a basic account of why card-counting systems work, but gives you an understanding into why the logic works.
When gambling on blackjack over the longer term card counting will aid in altering the edge in your favour by to around two percent.
