Card counting shifting the expectation in your favor
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting scheme achieve an edge over the gambling hall.
The reasoning behind this is simple.
Low cards favour the casino in blackjack and high cards favour the player.
Low cards favour the dealer because they aid him acquire winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, fourteen, 15, or sixteen total on their first 2 cards).
In casino chemin de fer, you can stay on your stiffs if you choose to, but the croupier cannot.
He has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of wagering on twenty-one require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will bust him.
The high cards favour the gambler because they may bust the house when he hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Although blackjacks are, evenly divided between the house and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the player 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 only need to know at what point the deck is rich or reduced in high cards and you can increase your action when the expectation is in your favour.
This is a simple explanation of why card-counting plans work, but gives you an insight into why the rationale works.
When gambling on vingt-et-un over the longer term card counting will assist in changing the odds in your favour by to around 2%.
