Counting cards shifting the expectation in your favor
Card counting works and players use a card counting system achieve an advantage over the gambling den.
The reason this is simple.
Low cards favour the croupier in chemin de fer and high cards favor the gambler.

In casino blackjack, you can stay on your stiffs if you choose to, but the casino can’t.
She has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of betting on vingt-et-un require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will break him.
The high cards favour the player because they may break the house when she hits their stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.
Although blackjacks are, equally divided between the croupier and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the player has an advantage.
You do not have to compute the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the casino.
You only need to know at what point the shoe is loaded or depleted in high cards and you can jump your wager when the expectation is in your favour.
This is a basic account of why card-counting plans work, but gives you an understanding into how the logic works.
