Counting cards getting the odds in your favour

Card counting works and players use a card counting plan gain an edge over the gambling den.

The reasoning behind this is simple.

Low cards favour the dealer in blackjack and high cards favor the player.

Low cards favour the croupier because they help them acquire winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, 14, fifteen, or sixteen total on her initial two cards).

In casino vingt-et-un, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the dealer cannot.

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

The high cards favor the gambler because they may bust the house when he hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally dispensed between the dealer and the gambler, 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 tally the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the dealer.

You only need to know when the shoe is flush or reduced in high cards and you can increase your wager when the expectation is in your favour.

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

When betting on blackjack over an extended time card counting will help in tilting the edge in your favor by approx 2%.
