Card counting getting the expectation in your favour
Card counting works and players use a card counting plan obtain an edge over the casino.

She has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of betting on 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 player because they could break the house when she hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally dispersed between the croupier and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the player has an edge.
