Counting cards shifting the expectation in your favour
Card counting works and players use a card counting plan achieve an advantage over the gambling hall.
The reason this is easy.
Low cards favour the house in chemin de fer and high cards favour the player.
Low cards favour the croupier because they help him make winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a 12, 13, 14, 15, or 16 total on his 1st two cards).
In casino vingt-et-un, you can stay on your stiffs if you choose to, but the dealer can’t.
The casino has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how flush the shoe is in high cards that will bust them.
The high cards favor the player because they may bust the casino when she hits their stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
Although blackjacks are, equally distributed between the casino and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the gambler has an advantage.
You don’t have to add up the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the dealer.
You only need to know when the deck is flush or reduced in high cards and you can increase your bet when the odds are in your favour.
This is a simple explanation of how card-counting plans work, but gives you an insight into why the logic works.
When gambling on twenty-one over an extended time card counting will aid in shifting the odds in your favor by approximately 2%.
