Counting cards getting the expectation in your favor
Card counting works and players use a card counting approach obtain an edge over the casino.
The reasoning behind this is easy.
Low cards favour the dealer in blackjack and high cards favour the player.
Low cards favor the dealer because they assist him make winning totals on his hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, 13, 14, 15, or sixteen total on his initial 2 cards).
In casino chemin de fer, you can stay on your stiffs if you choose to, but the croupier cannot.
The house has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of playing 21 require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will bust her.
The high cards favor the player because they could break the casino when he hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Although blackjacks are, evenly dispensed between the croupier and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the player has an advantage.
You do not have to compute the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the croupier.
You only need to know when the deck is loaded or depleted in high cards and you can jump your wager when the edge is in your favor.
This is a simple commentary of why card-counting plans work, but gives you an insight into why the logic works.
When playing blackjack over an extended time card counting will aid in changing the expectation in your favor by to around 2%.
