Card counting shifting the edge in your favor
Card counting works and players use a card counting plan obtain an advantage over the gambling den.
The reasoning behind this is simple.
Low cards favor the croupier in vingt-et-un and high cards favor the gambler.
Low cards favor the casino because they help her acquire winning totals on his hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, 14, 15, 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.
The dealer has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of wagering on vingt-et-un require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will bust him.
The high cards favour the player because they could break the dealer when she hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Though blackjacks are, evenly divided between the casino and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the player has an edge.
You don’t have to count the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the house.
You only need to know when the deck is rich or reduced in high cards and you can increase your wager when the expectation is in your favor.
This is a basic breakdown of how card-counting plans work, but gives you an insight into why the logic works.
