Counting cards getting the expectation in your favor
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting system obtain an advantage over the casino.
The reason for this is simple.
Low cards favour the croupier in 21 and high cards favor the gambler.
Low cards favor the casino because they help her acquire winning totals on her hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, 13, fourteen, 15, or 16 total on their 1st two cards).
In casino 21, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the casino can’t.
She has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how flush the shoe is in high cards that will bust her.
The high cards favour the gambler because they might bust the casino when she hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Although blackjacks are, equally allocated between the casino and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she receives a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
You don’t have to add up the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the casino.
You simply need to know at what point the shoe is loaded or poor in high cards and you can elevate your bet when the edge is in your favor.
This is a simple commentary of why card-counting systems work, but gives you an insight into why the logic works.
When playing chemin de fer over an extended term card counting will help in altering the expectation in your favour by approximately 2 percent.
