Card counting getting the edge in your favour

Card counting works and players use a card counting system gain an advantage over the gambling hall.

The reasoning behind this is easy.

Low cards favor the casino in chemin de fer and high cards favor the gambler.

Low cards favour the dealer because they help them make winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, fourteen, 15, or 16 total on his initial 2 cards).

In casino twenty-one, you can stand on your stiffs if you want to, but the dealer can’t.

The house has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of playing vingt-et-un require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will break them.

The high cards favour the player because they may bust the casino when she hits his stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.

Though blackjacks are, equally dispensed between the house and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she receives a blackjack so the player has an edge.

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

You simply need to know when the deck is rich or reduced in high cards and you can boost your bet when the odds are in your favor.

This is a simple explanation of how card-counting systems work, but gives you an insight into why the logic works.
