Card counting shifting the expectation in your favor

Card counting works and players use a card counting system obtain an edge over the casino.

The reason for this is easy.

Low cards favour the dealer in twenty-one and high cards favour the player.

Low cards favor the dealer because they help her make winning totals on his hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, 13, 14, 15, or 16 total on her 1st two cards).

In casino blackjack, you can stay on your stiffs if you choose to, but the croupier cannot.

She has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of betting on 21 require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will bust him.

The high cards favor the player because they could break the house when he hits her stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.

Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally divided between the dealer and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she receives a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.

You just need to know when the shoe is rich or poor in high cards and you can increase your bet when the odds are in your favor.

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

When playing vingt-et-un over an extended term card counting will assist in changing the expectation in your favor by approximately 2%.
