Card counting getting the odds in your favor

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

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

Low cards favour the casino because they help him acquire winning totals on her hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, 13, 14, fifteen, or sixteen total on his 1st two cards).

In casino blackjack, you can hold on your stiffs if you want to, but the croupier can't.

She has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of wagering on vingt-et-un require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will break her.

The high cards favour the player because they might bust the croupier when she hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

Although blackjacks are, evenly divided between the casino and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.

You don't have to count the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the house.

You only need to know when the shoe is rich or reduced in high cards and you can elevate your bet when the expectation is in your favor.

This is a simple breakdown of how card-counting schemes work, but gives you an insight into how the rationale works.

When gambling on twenty-one over an extended time card counting will help in tilting the expectation in your favour by to around two percent.
