Counting cards getting the edge in your favor

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting approach gain an edge over the gambling den.

The reason for this is easy.

Low cards favour the dealer because they help them acquire winning totals on his hands when she is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen total on her 1st two cards).

In casino twenty-one, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the house cannot.

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

The high cards favour the gambler because they might bust the house when he hits her stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.

Although blackjacks are, evenly dispersed between the croupier and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when she receives a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.

You don’t have to tally the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the house.

You simply need to know at what point the deck is flush or depleted in high cards and you can increase your wager when the odds are in your favor.

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