Counting cards getting the expectation in your favor

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting scheme gain an advantage over the gambling hall.

The reason this is simple.

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

Low cards favour the dealer because they assist him make winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, 13, fourteen, 15, or 16 total on her initial two cards).

In casino blackjack, you can stay on your stiffs if you want to, but the dealer can’t.

She has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing twenty-one require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will bust them.

The high cards favor the player because they may break the house when she hits their stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.

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

You do not have to count the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the casino.

You only need to know at what point the shoe is rich or poor in high cards and you can up your wager when the expectation is in your favour.

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

When playing 21 over an extended time card counting will help in shifting the expectation in your favor by approx 2 percent.
