Card counting tilting the edge in your favor

Card counting works and players use a card counting approach achieve an edge over the gambling den.

The reason this is easy.

Low cards favor the croupier in vingt-et-un and high cards favor the player.

Low cards favor the dealer because they help her make winning totals on his hands when he is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, fourteen, 15, or 16 total on her first 2 cards).

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

The dealer has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of playing blackjack require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will break her.

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

Despite the fact blackjacks are, evenly dispensed between the casino and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the player has an advantage.

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

You simply need to know at what point the deck is rich or depleted in high cards and you can up your bet when the edge is in your favor.

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

When wagering on vingt-et-un over the longer term card counting will help in shifting the edge in your favour by approximately two percent.
