If you like the blast and adventure of a perfect card game and the anticipation of winning and earning some money with the odds in your favour, gambling on Blackjack is for you.

So, how can you defeat the croupier?

Quite simply when playing 21 you are studying the risks and probabilities of the cards in relation to:

1. What your hand is

2. What cards possibly could come from the shoe

When wagering on 21 there is mathematically a better way to play each hand and this is known as basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you calculate the odds of cards being dealt from the deck, then you can boost your action amount when the edge is in your favor and lower them when the edge is not.

You’re 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 betting on twenty-one you must use basic strategy and card counting to win.

Basic strategy and card counting

Since mathematicians and intellectuals have been studying twenty-one all sorts of complex schemes have arisen, including but not limited to "counting cards" but although the idea is complex card counting is pretty much straightforward when you play 21.

If when gambling on blackjack you card count correctly (even if the game uses multiple decks), you can tilt the edge to your favour.

21 Basic Strategy

Twenty-one basic strategy is centered around a basic approach of how you bet depending upon the hand you receive and is mathematically the best hand to use while not card counting. It informs you when playing 21 when you should take another card or stand.

It is very simple to do and is soon committed to memory and up until then you can get free cards on the internet

Using it when you wager on chemin de fer will bring down the casino’s odds advantage to near to even.

Card counting tilting the expectation in your favour

Card counting works and players use a card counting approach gain an edge over the gambling hall.

The reasoning behind this is simple.

Low cards favour the croupier in blackjack and high cards favor the gambler.

Low cards favor the house because they aid her make winning totals on her hands when he is stiff (has a 12, 13, fourteen, fifteen, or 16 total on his first two cards).

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

The casino has no decision 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 loaded the shoe is in high cards that will break them.

The high cards favor the player because they might bust the house when he hits their stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the player.

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

You don’t have to compute the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the casino.

You only need to know when the deck is rich or depleted in high cards and you can increase your wager when the expectation is in your favour.

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

When playing chemin de fer over the longer term card counting will assist in tilting the odds in your favor by approximately two percent.
