Card counting shifting the expectation in your favour

The reasoning behind this is simple.

Low cards favour the croupier in 21 and high cards favour the gambler.

Low cards favor the croupier because they assist him make winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, 14, 15, or 16 total on her first 2 cards).

In casino vingt-et-un, you can stay on your stiffs if you want to, but the dealer cannot.

She has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of betting on 21 require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will bust them.

The high cards favour the gambler because they could bust the house when he hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

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

You simply need to know at what point the shoe is flush or depleted in high cards and you can boost your wager when the expectation is in your favor.

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

When gambling on twenty-one over the longer term card counting will assist in altering the edge in your favor by approximately two percent.
