Card counting shifting the edge in your favor
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting system gain an edge over the casino.
The reasoning behind this is simple.
Low cards favor the croupier in chemin de fer and high cards favor the player.
Low cards favour the house because they assist them make winning totals on her hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, 13, fourteen, fifteen, or 16 total on her 1st 2 cards).
In casino 21, you can stay on your stiffs if you choose to, but the croupier can’t.
She has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on twenty-one require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how flush the shoe is in high cards that will break her.
The high cards favor the player because they might bust the croupier when he hits her stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
Though blackjacks are, equally distributed between the croupier and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
You don’t have to tally the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the house.
You just need to know at what point the shoe is flush or reduced in high cards and you can boost your action when the edge is in your favor.
This is a basic commentary of why card-counting schemes work, but gives you an insight into why the logic works.
When gambling on twenty-one over an extended time card counting will help in tilting the edge in your favour by approximately 2%.
