Counting cards getting the edge in your favour

Card counting works and players use a card counting approach achieve an advantage over the gambling den.

The reasoning behind this is easy.

Low cards favor the croupier because they help her acquire winning totals on her hands when he is stiff (has a 12, 13, 14, fifteen, or 16 total on his initial 2 cards).

In casino twenty-one, you can stay on your stiffs if you want to, but the house cannot.

The house has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of betting on blackjack require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will break her.

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

Although blackjacks are, equally divided between the house and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she receives a blackjack so the player has an advantage.

You don’t have to add up the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the croupier.

You simply need to know when the deck is loaded or depleted in high cards and you can jump your action when the expectation is in your favor.

This is a simple breakdown of why card-counting schemes work, but gives you an insight into how the rationale works.

When betting on blackjack over an extended time card counting will help in tilting the edge in your favor by to around 2 percent.
