Counting cards getting the expectation in your favor
Card counting works and players use a card counting scheme achieve an edge over the gambling den.
The reason this is simple.
Low cards favour the croupier in vingt-et-un and high cards favour the gambler.
Low cards favor the croupier because they help them make winning totals on his hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, or 16 total on his first two cards).
In casino vingt-et-un, you can stay on your stiffs if you want to, but the casino cannot.
The casino has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing vingt-et-un require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will bust her.
The high cards favor the player because they could bust the casino when she hits his stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.
Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally divided between the dealer and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the player has an advantage.
You do not have to count the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the casino.
You only need to know at what point the shoe is loaded or depleted in high cards and you can increase your action when the odds are in your favour.
This is a simple commentary of why card-counting systems work, but gives you an understanding into how the rationale works.
When wagering on chemin de fer over the longer term card counting will help in changing the expectation in your favor by approx two percent.
