Card counting getting the odds in your favour

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting plan achieve an edge over the gambling den.

The reasoning behind this is easy.

Low cards favor the casino in chemin de fer and high cards favor the player.

Low cards favour the croupier because they help her make winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, or 16 total on their 1st 2 cards).

In casino 21, you can stay on your stiffs if you choose to, but the house can’t.

The house has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of gambling on vingt-et-un require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will bust them.

The high cards favour the gambler because they may break the croupier when she hits their stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.

Despite the fact blackjacks are, evenly dispensed between the casino and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the gambler has an advantage.

You don’t have to compute the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the house.

You just need to know at what point the deck is rich or poor in high cards and you can up your bet when the expectation is in your favour.

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

When playing 21 over the longer term card counting will aid in changing the odds in your favor by to around 2%.
