Counting cards getting the expectation in your favor

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting plan achieve an edge over the casino.

The reasoning behind this is easy.

Low cards favour the house in vingt-et-un and high cards favor the gambler.

Low cards favour the croupier because they help them acquire winning totals on his hands when she 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 croupier can’t.

She has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how flush the deck is in high cards that will break them.

The high cards favour the player because they could break the house when he hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

Although blackjacks are, equally distributed between the dealer and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the player has an advantage.

You don’t have to add up the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the casino.

You just need to know when the deck is flush or poor in high cards and you can jump your wager when the expectation is in your favor.

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

When playing vingt-et-un over the longer term card counting will assist in shifting the expectation in your favour by approx 2 percent.
