Low cards favor the croupier because they help them acquire winning totals on her hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, 13, fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen total on his initial 2 cards).
In casino vingt-et-un, you can hold on your stiffs if you want to, but the croupier cannot.
The casino has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of betting on twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will break her.
The high cards favor the gambler because they might break the dealer when he hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Although blackjacks are, equally dispersed between the croupier and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the player has an advantage.
You don’t have to compute the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the house.
You simply need to know at what point the shoe is rich or reduced in high cards and you can elevate your action when the odds are in your favor.
This is a basic explanation of how card-counting systems work, but gives you an insight into why the rationale works.
When playing 21 over an extended term card counting will assist in shifting the expectation in your favour by to around 2 percent.
