Counting cards getting the expectation in your favour

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

The reasoning behind this is simple.

Low cards favour the croupier in 21 and high cards favour the gambler.

Low cards favor the casino because they assist them make winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, 13, fourteen, 15, or sixteen total on their initial two cards).

In casino twenty-one, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the house can’t.

He has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on 21 require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will bust her.

The high cards favor the player because they may bust the house when he hits his stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.

Though blackjacks are, equally allocated between the house and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.

You do not have to add up the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the house.

You only need to know when the shoe is flush or depleted in high cards and you can jump your bet when the edge is in your favour.

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