Card counting getting the expectation in your favour
Card counting works and players use a card counting plan realize an advantage over the casino.
The reasoning behind this is easy.
Low cards favour the casino in 21 and high cards favour the gambler.
Low cards favour the croupier because they help him acquire winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a 12, 13, 14, fifteen, or sixteen total on their first two cards).
In casino vingt-et-un, you can hold on your stiffs if you want to, but the casino can’t.
The dealer has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of wagering on twenty-one require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will bust him.
The high cards favour the player because they may break the dealer when she hits her stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the player.
Though blackjacks are, equally dispensed between the dealer and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the player has an advantage.
You don’t have to add up the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the house.
You just need to know at what point the deck is rich or poor in high cards and you can jump your bet when the expectation is in your favour.
This is a simple breakdown of why card-counting schemes work, but gives you an insight into how the rationale works.
