Card counting tilting the edge in your favour

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting plan achieve an edge over the casino.

The reason for this is easy.

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

Low cards favor the house because they help them make winning totals on her hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, 14, 15, or 16 total on his 1st 2 cards).

In casino blackjack, you can hold on your stiffs if you want to, but the casino cannot.

The house has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of gambling on twenty-one 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 might break the house when he hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

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

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

You just need to know when the deck is loaded or depleted in high cards and you can increase your wager when the edge is in your favour.

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

When playing 21 over the longer term card counting will help in changing the edge in your favour by approx 2 percent.
