Counting cards shifting the odds in your favor
Card counting works and players use a card counting system obtain an advantage over the casino.
The reason for this is easy.
Low cards favor the croupier in blackjack and high cards favour the gambler.
Low cards favor the croupier because they help her acquire winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, 13, fourteen, 15, or sixteen total on their 1st 2 cards).
In casino twenty-one, you can stand on your stiffs if you want to, but the casino can’t.
She has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on blackjack require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will break her.
The high cards favor the player because they may break the dealer when she hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Though blackjacks are, equally allocated between the croupier and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
You do not have to add up the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the house.
You just need to know at what point the shoe is loaded or reduced in high cards and you can jump your bet when the odds are in your favor.
This is a basic explanation of why card-counting schemes work, but gives you an understanding into how the logic works.
When wagering on twenty-one over the longer term card counting will aid in changing the edge in your favour by approx 2 percent.
