Counting cards tilting the expectation in your favour
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting approach gain an advantage over the gambling hall.
The reasoning behind this is simple.
Low cards favor the casino in twenty-one and high cards favour the gambler.
Low cards favour the dealer because they help them make winning totals on his hands when she is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, 14, fifteen, or sixteen total on their 1st 2 cards).
In casino chemin de fer, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the dealer cannot.
She has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will break her.
The high cards favour the gambler because they might bust the croupier when he hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally divided between the croupier and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the gambler has an advantage.
You don’t have to count the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the casino.
You just need to know at what point the shoe is rich or depleted in high cards and you can increase your action when the edge is in your favour.
This is a simple explanation of why card-counting plans work, but gives you an understanding into how the rationale works.
When wagering on twenty-one over an extended term card counting will assist in tilting the expectation in your favor by approx two percent.
