Counting cards shifting the expectation in your favour

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting plan obtain an edge over the gambling hall.

The reason this is simple.

Low cards favor the croupier in twenty-one and high cards favour the player.

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

The dealer has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. 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 her.

The high cards favor the gambler because they could bust the casino when she hits his stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.

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

You just need to know at what point the shoe is flush or depleted in high cards and you can boost your action when the expectation is in your favor.

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