If you add card counting that helps you determine the chances of cards coming out of the deck, then you can increase your action size when the edge is in your favor and lower them when the edge is not.

Counting cards getting the expectation in your favor

Card counting works and players use a card counting system obtain an edge over the gambling den.

The reason this is simple.

Low cards favor the dealer in 21 and high cards favour the player.

Low cards favour the house because they assist him acquire winning totals on her hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, 14, fifteen, or sixteen total on his 1st 2 cards).

In casino 21, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the house can’t.

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

The high cards favor the gambler because they may break the dealer when he hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

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

You don’t have to compute the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the house.

You only need to know when the shoe is rich or reduced in high cards and you can boost your action when the expectation is in your favor.

This is a simple account of how card-counting systems work, but gives you an understanding into how the rationale works.

When playing twenty-one over an extended time card counting will help in tilting the odds in your favor by to around 2 percent.
