Counting cards tilting the odds in your favor

Card counting works and players use a card counting scheme gain an advantage over the gambling hall.

In casino vingt-et-un, you can stay on your stiffs if you choose to, but the croupier can’t.

She has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on vingt-et-un require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how flush the deck is in high cards that will bust him.

The high cards favour the player because they might break the dealer when he hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

Although blackjacks are, evenly dispersed between the casino and the gambler, 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 count the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the casino.

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

This is a simple explanation of how card-counting systems work, but gives you an understanding into why the logic works.
