Card counting getting the odds in your favor

Card counting works and players use a card counting system obtain an edge over the gambling den.

The reasoning behind this is easy.

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

Low cards favor the dealer because they assist them make winning totals on her hands when she is stiff (has a 12, 13, fourteen, 15, or sixteen total on her initial 2 cards).

In casino blackjack, you can hold on your stiffs if you want to, but the croupier can’t.

The dealer has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing twenty-one require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will bust them.

The high cards favor the gambler because they may break the dealer when she hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally divided between the dealer 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 add up the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the dealer.

You just need to know at what point the deck is flush or depleted in high cards and you can boost your wager when the expectation is in your favour.

This is a basic commentary of why card-counting plans work, but gives you an insight into why the logic works.

When playing 21 over an extended term card counting will aid in changing the edge in your favour by approximately 2 percent.
