Card counting shifting the expectation in your favour

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting approach obtain an advantage over the gambling hall.

The reasoning behind this is simple.

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

Low cards favor the croupier because they help them acquire winning totals on her hands when she is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, 14, fifteen, or 16 total on their first two cards).

In casino twenty-one, you can stay on your stiffs if you choose to, but the casino cannot.

The house 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 rich the shoe is in high cards that will break her.

The high cards favour the player because they might bust the casino when she hits her stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.

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

You do not have to compute the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the casino.

You only need to know when the shoe is flush or reduced in high cards and you can boost your action when the odds are in your favor.

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

When playing chemin de fer over an extended time card counting will help in changing the edge in your favour by to around two percent.
