Counting cards getting the odds in your favour

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting system achieve an advantage over the casino.

The reason for this is easy.

Low cards favor the house in vingt-et-un and high cards favour the gambler.

Low cards favour the dealer because they assist him make winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, 14, 15, or sixteen total on his 1st two cards).

In casino twenty-one, you can stay on your stiffs if you choose to, but the dealer cannot.

She has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of wagering on 21 require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how flush the deck is in high cards that will bust him.

The high cards favor the player because they could bust the croupier when he hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

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

You do not have to count the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the casino.

You simply need to know when the shoe is rich or depleted in high cards and you can jump your bet when the expectation is in your favour.

This is a basic commentary of why card-counting systems work, but gives you an insight into how the rationale works.

When playing twenty-one over the longer term card counting will assist in shifting the expectation in your favor by to around two percent.
