Card counting tilting the odds in your favour
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting scheme achieve an edge over the gambling den.
The reason for this is easy.
Low cards favour the casino in blackjack and high cards favour the player.
Low cards favor the house because they help her acquire winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a 12, 13, fourteen, 15, or 16 total on their 1st two cards).
In casino chemin de fer, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the dealer cannot.
He has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of betting on blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how flush the shoe is in high cards that will bust them.
The high cards favor the player because they may break the croupier when he hits her stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the player.
Though blackjacks are, evenly distributed between the croupier and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the gambler has an advantage.
You don’t have to compute the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the croupier.
You simply need to know when the deck is loaded or depleted in high cards and you can up your bet when the edge is in your favour.
This is a basic breakdown of how card-counting plans work, but gives you an understanding into why the rationale works.
When betting on blackjack over an extended time card counting will aid in changing the edge in your favour by approximately two percent.
