Counting cards getting the odds in your favor

Card counting works and players use a card counting approach gain an edge over the gambling den.

The reasoning behind this is easy.

Low cards favor the house because they help them make winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, 13, 14, 15, or 16 total on his initial 2 cards).

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

He has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of gambling on 21 require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how flush the deck is in high cards that will bust her.

The high cards favor the gambler because they might bust the house when she hits their stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the player.

Although blackjacks are, evenly dispersed between the house and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.

You do not have to compute the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the casino.

You simply need to know at what point the deck is loaded or reduced in high cards and you can elevate your bet when the expectation is in your favor.

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

When wagering on chemin de fer over the longer term card counting will aid in altering the odds in your favor by to around 2 percent.
