Card counting shifting the edge in your favor
Card counting works and players use a card counting scheme obtain an edge over the casino.
The reason this is easy.
Low cards favour the casino in twenty-one and high cards favour the player.
Low cards favour the dealer because they assist her acquire winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, fourteen, 15, or 16 total on their initial 2 cards).
In casino blackjack, you can stay on your stiffs if you want to, but the dealer can't.
The house has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of playing vingt-et-un require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will break them.
The high cards favour the gambler because they may bust the house when she hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Though blackjacks are, equally dispensed between the casino and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the gambler has an advantage.
You do not have to tally the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the croupier.
You only need to know when the shoe is loaded or depleted in high cards and you can elevate your wager when the edge is in your favour.
This is a simple commentary of how card-counting systems work, but gives you an insight into why the rationale works.
When playing twenty-one over the longer term card counting will help in altering the edge in your favor by approx 2 percent.
