Counting cards getting the odds in your favor
Card counting works and players use a card counting system gain an edge over the casino.
The reason this is simple.
Low cards favor the dealer in blackjack and high cards favor the gambler.
Low cards favour the casino because they help him make winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a 12, 13, fourteen, 15, or 16 total on their initial 2 cards).
In casino 21, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the casino can’t.
The house has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing 21 require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will break her.
The high cards favour the player because they might bust the casino when she hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Despite the fact blackjacks are, evenly distributed between the dealer and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
You don’t have to compute the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the croupier.
You just need to know when the deck is loaded or reduced in high cards and you can jump your wager when the edge is in your favour.
This is a basic commentary of how card-counting systems work, but gives you an understanding into how the rationale works.
When wagering on 21 over the longer term card counting will aid in altering the odds in your favor by approx 2%.
