Card counting getting the expectation in your favour

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

The reason this is easy.

Low cards favor the dealer in chemin de fer and high cards favor the gambler.

Low cards favor the croupier because they aid her acquire winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, 13, 14, 15, or sixteen total on her first two cards).

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

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

The high cards favor the player because they may break the house when she hits her stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.

Though blackjacks are, equally dispersed between the croupier and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the player has an advantage.

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

When betting on chemin de fer over the longer term card counting will help in shifting the expectation in your favor by approx 2%.
