Counting cards shifting the odds in your favour

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting system obtain an edge over the gambling hall.

The reason for this is simple.

Low cards favor the casino in twenty-one and high cards favour the gambler.

Low cards favor the casino because they aid him make winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a 12, 13, 14, 15, or sixteen total on their first two cards).

In casino chemin de fer, you can stand on your stiffs if you want to, but the house cannot.

The casino has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will bust them.

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

Despite the fact blackjacks are, evenly dispensed between the croupier 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 don’t have to add up the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the house.

You simply need to know when the deck is flush or poor in high cards and you can increase your action when the edge is in your favour.

This is a simple account of how card-counting systems work, but gives you an understanding into how the rationale works.

When betting on vingt-et-un over the longer term card counting will aid in changing the edge in your favour by to around two percent.
