Card counting shifting the edge in your favor
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting approach achieve an edge over the casino.

Low cards favor the dealer because they aid him make winning totals on his hands when he is stiff (has a 12, 13, 14, 15, or sixteen total on his 1st 2 cards).
In casino vingt-et-un, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the house cannot.
She has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of betting on blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will break them.
The high cards favor the gambler because they might break the croupier when he hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Though blackjacks are, evenly dispensed between the casino and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the player has an advantage.
You don’t have to count 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 deck is flush or depleted in high cards and you can jump your action when the expectation is in your favor.
This is a simple commentary of why card-counting schemes work, but gives you an understanding into why the logic works.
