Counting cards shifting the edge in your favour
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting plan gain an edge over the gambling den.
The reason this is simple.
Low cards favour the house in vingt-et-un and high cards favor the player.
Low cards favour the casino because they aid her make winning totals on his hands when she is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, 14, fifteen, or sixteen total on his 1st 2 cards).
In casino vingt-et-un, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the house cannot.
The dealer has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will break them.
The high cards favour the gambler because they could bust the croupier when she hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Though blackjacks are, evenly dispensed between the casino and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the player has an edge.
You do not have to add up the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the dealer.
You only need to know when the shoe is flush or depleted in high cards and you can jump your action when the expectation is in your favor.
This is a basic breakdown of why card-counting schemes work, but gives you an understanding into how the rationale works.
When wagering on vingt-et-un over the longer term card counting will assist in altering the odds in your favor by approximately 2%.
