If you like the thrill and excitement of a great card game and the elation of winning and making some cash with the odds in your favour, gambling on vingt-et-un is for you.

So, how can you defeat the dealer?

Quite simply when playing twenty-one you are observing the odds and chances of the cards in relation to:

1. What your hand is

2. What cards can be dealt from the shoe

When playing blackjack there is statistically a best way to play each hand and this is called basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you calculate the chances of cards being dealt from the deck, then you are able to increase your bet amount when the edge is in your favor and lower them when the edge is not.

You are only going to win under half the hands you bet on, so it is important that you adjust bet size when the odds are in your favor.

To do this when wagering on twenty-one you must use basic strategy and card counting to succeed.

fundamental strategy and counting cards

Since mathematicians and intellectuals have been studying 21 all sorts of complicated systems have been developed, including "card counting" but although the theory is complex counting cards is pretty much straightforward when you wager on twenty-one.

If when wagering on blackjack you card count reliably (even if the game uses more than one deck), you can alter the edge to your favour.

21 Basic Strategy

Vingt-et-un basic strategy is amassed around a simple system of how you bet depending upon the cards you receive and is mathematically the strongest hand to use without card counting. It informs you when wagering on chemin de fer when you need to hit or stand.

It’s surprisingly simple to do and is quickly memorized and up until then you can get complimentary cards on the net

Using it when you bet on twenty-one will bring down the casino’s edge to near to even.

Card counting tilting the edge in your favour

Card counting works and players use a card counting scheme gain an edge over the gambling den.

The reason for this is simple.

Low cards favor the dealer in chemin de fer and high cards favour the gambler.

Low cards favour the casino because they help her acquire winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a 12, 13, 14, 15, or sixteen total on her initial 2 cards).

In casino twenty-one, you can stay on your stiffs if you choose to, but the house can’t.

The house has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of betting on vingt-et-un require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how flush the deck is in high cards that will break him.

The high cards favor the gambler because they might bust the dealer when she hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally divided between the croupier and the gambler, 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 in order to know when you have an advantage over the casino.

You only need to know at what point the deck is rich or depleted in high cards and you can boost your action when the edge is in your favor.

This is a basic account of why card-counting systems work, but gives you an understanding into why the rationale works.

When wagering on chemin de fer over the longer term card counting will aid in tilting the odds in your favour by approximately two percent.
