Card counting tilting the edge in your favor
Card counting works and players use a card counting scheme achieve an advantage over the casino.
The reasoning behind this is simple.
Low cards favor the dealer in chemin de fer and high cards favour the player.
Low cards favor the casino because they help her make winning totals on his hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, 14, 15, or 16 total on their initial two cards).
In casino blackjack, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the house can’t.
She has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of betting on vingt-et-un require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how flush the deck is in high cards that will break her.
The high cards favor the gambler because they could bust the casino when he hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Although blackjacks are, equally allocated between the house and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the gambler has an advantage.
You do not have to add up the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the casino.
You only need to know at what point the shoe is flush or poor in high cards and you can increase your action when the edge is in your favor.
This is a simple explanation of why card-counting schemes work, but gives you an understanding into how the logic works.
When playing blackjack over the longer term card counting will aid in tilting the odds in your favour by approx 2 percent.
