Card counting tilting the odds in your favor

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting approach gain an advantage over the casino.

The reasoning behind this is easy.

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

Low cards favour the house because they help her make winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, 14, 15, or 16 total on her 1st two cards).

In casino twenty-one, you can stand on your stiffs if you want to, but the casino can’t.

The dealer has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of gambling on vingt-et-un require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how flush the shoe is in high cards that will break her.

The high cards favour the player because they might break the house when he hits her stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.

Despite the fact blackjacks are, evenly divided between the house and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she receives 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 advantage over the casino.

You simply need to know at what point the shoe is flush or depleted in high cards and you can up your action when the odds are in your favor.

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

When betting on twenty-one over an extended term card counting will assist in shifting the edge in your favour by to around 2%.
