Card counting getting the odds in your favour
Card counting works and players use a card counting approach obtain an edge over the casino.
The reason this is simple.

In casino blackjack, you can stand on your stiffs if you want to, but the croupier cannot.
The house has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of playing twenty-one require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how flush the shoe is in high cards that will bust her.
The high cards favour the gambler because they might break the casino when she hits her stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
Though blackjacks are, evenly divided between the dealer and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the gambler has an advantage.
You don't have to tally the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the house.
You just need to know at what point the shoe is rich or depleted in high cards and you can elevate your wager when the edge is in your favour.
