2. What cards can come from the deck

If you add card counting that helps you compute the odds of cards being dealt from the deck, then you are able to increase your bet amount when the odds are in your favor and lower them when they are not.

Card counting getting the odds in your favor

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

The reasoning behind this is easy.

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

Low cards favour the house because they aid her make winning totals on her hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, fourteen, 15, or 16 total on his initial 2 cards).

In casino vingt-et-un, you can stay on your stiffs if you choose to, but the casino can’t.

She has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of wagering on 21 require that croupiers 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 bust the croupier when she hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

Although blackjacks are, equally allocated between the casino and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the gambler 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 edge over the house.

You only need to know when the shoe is flush or reduced in high cards and you can up your action when the edge is in your favour.

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

When gambling on blackjack over an extended time card counting will aid in altering the edge in your favour by approximately two percent.
