Counting cards shifting the edge in your favor

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting plan gain an edge over the gambling den.

The reasoning behind this is simple.

Low cards favor the dealer in twenty-one and high cards favour the player.

Low cards favor the croupier because they help them make winning totals on her hands when he is stiff (has a 12, 13, 14, 15, or 16 total on their first two cards).

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

The house has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will break him.

The high cards favor the player because they might break the croupier when she hits his stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.

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

You don’t have to count the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the house.

You just need to know when the deck is rich or poor in high cards and you can increase your action when the edge is in your favor.

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

When wagering on 21 over an extended time card counting will aid in altering the edge in your favor by approximately 2 percent.
