Card counting tilting the expectation in your favour
Card counting works and players use a card counting scheme gain an edge over the gambling hall.
The reason this is simple.
Low cards favour the casino in 21 and high cards favor the gambler.
Low cards favour the house because they aid her make winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, 14, 15, or sixteen total on his initial 2 cards).
In casino 21, you can stay on your stiffs if you want to, but the casino can’t.
She has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of wagering on vingt-et-un require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will bust him.
The high cards favor the player because they could break the casino when she hits their 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 she receives a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
You do not have to add up the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the house.
You simply need to know when the deck is flush or depleted 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 rationale works.
When betting on blackjack over an extended time card counting will aid in changing the expectation in your favour by to around two percent.
