2. What cards might come from the shoe

Card counting shifting the odds in your favour
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting approach achieve an edge over the casino.
The reason this is easy.
Low cards favour the croupier in 21 and high cards favour the gambler.
Low cards favour the dealer because they help her make winning totals on his hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, 13, fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen total on their 1st 2 cards).
In casino vingt-et-un, you can stay on your stiffs if you want to, but the croupier cannot.
He has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of playing vingt-et-un require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how flush the shoe is in high cards that will break her.
The high cards favour the player because they may break the casino when he hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Despite the fact blackjacks are, evenly allocated between the house and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the gambler has an advantage.
You don’t have to tally the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the croupier.
You just need to know when the shoe is rich or poor in high cards and you can jump your action when the expectation is in your favor.
This is a basic explanation of why card-counting schemes work, but gives you an understanding into how the logic works.
When gambling on 21 over the longer term card counting will help in changing the edge in your favor by approximately 2 percent.
