If you love the thrill and excitement of an excellent card game and the excitement of winning and earning some cash with the odds in your favour, gambling on Blackjack is for you.

So, how can you beat the dealer?

Basically when gambling on 21 you are looking at the risks and probabilities of the cards in regard to:

1. The cards in your hand

2. What cards should come from the deck

When betting on 21 there is statistically a better way to play each hand and this is called basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you determine the odds of cards being dealt from the deck, then you are able to increase your wager size when the edge is in your favor and lower them when the edge is not.

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

To do this when playing twenty-one you must use basic strategy and card counting to win.

Basic strategy and card counting

Since mathematicians and scientists have been studying twenty-one all sorts of complicated schemes have been developed, including "card counting" but even though the theory is complex counting cards is pretty much straightforward when you gamble on Blackjack.

If when betting on 21 you count cards correctly (even if the game uses more than one deck), you can alter the odds to your favour.

Twenty-one Basic Strategy

21 basic strategy is centralized around a basic plan of how you bet depending upon the cards you receive and is mathematically the best hand to use without card counting. It tells you when gambling on vingt-et-un when you need to hit or hold.

It is unbelievably easy to do and is quickly memorized and until then you can find free cards on the net

Using it when you gamble on chemin de fer will bring down the casino’s expectations to near to zero.

Counting cards tilting the edge in your favor

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting plan gain an edge over the gambling hall.

The reasoning behind this is simple.

Low cards favor the house in 21 and high cards favor the gambler.

Low cards favor the dealer because they help them acquire winning totals on her hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, 14, fifteen, or sixteen total on her initial two cards).

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

She has no decision 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 bust them.

The high cards favor the player because they may break the croupier when he hits his stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the player.

Although blackjacks are, evenly divided between the croupier and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she receives a blackjack so the player has an edge.

You do not have to tally the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the casino.

You only need to know at what point the deck is flush or reduced in high cards and you can boost your wager when the odds are in your favor.

This is a simple breakdown of why card-counting plans work, but gives you an insight into how the logic works.

When betting on twenty-one over an extended time card counting will help in shifting the odds in your favour by approximately two percent.
