Counting cards getting the edge in your favour

Card counting works and players use a card counting system achieve an advantage over the gambling hall.

The reason for this is easy.

Low cards favour the dealer in 21 and high cards favour the gambler.

Low cards favor the casino because they help them make winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, 14, 15, or sixteen total on her 1st two cards).

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

She has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing twenty-one require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how flush the deck is in high cards that will bust them.

The high cards favour the gambler because they might bust the casino when he hits their stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.

Though blackjacks are, evenly allocated between the croupier and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.

You don’t have to tally the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the casino.

You just need to know at what point the shoe is rich or reduced in high cards and you can increase your wager when the expectation is in your favor.

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

When playing vingt-et-un over the longer term card counting will aid in tilting the odds in your favour by approximately 2%.
