Low cards favour the casino because they help them make winning totals on her hands when he is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, fourteen, 15, or sixteen total on their initial two cards).

In casino blackjack, you can stay on your stiffs if you choose to, but the casino cannot.

The dealer has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of betting on twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how flush the shoe is in high cards that will break her.

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

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

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

You simply need to know at what point the deck is loaded or reduced in high cards and you can up your action when the expectation is in your favor.

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