Card counting shifting the expectation in your favor

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting scheme gain an advantage over the casino.

The reason for this is simple.

Low cards favour the house in blackjack and high cards favor the player.

Low cards favour the casino because they aid them acquire winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen total on her first 2 cards).

In casino vingt-et-un, you can stay on your stiffs if you want to, but the croupier can’t.

The casino has no decision 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 shoe is in high cards that will bust them.

The high cards favour the player because they may bust the croupier when she hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

Although blackjacks are, equally distributed between the casino and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.

You do not have to compute the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the croupier.

You only need to know at what point the shoe is flush or depleted in high cards and you can increase your bet when the expectation is in your favor.

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

When wagering on vingt-et-un over the longer term card counting will help in altering the odds in your favour by approx 2%.
