If you love the thrill and excitement of a good card game and the excitement of winning and acquiring some money with the odds in your favor, gambling on twenty-one is for you.
So, how can you defeat the croupier?
Basically when betting on vingt-et-un you are studying the risks and probabilities of the cards in relation to:
1. What your hand is
2. What cards should be dealt from the shoe
When betting on chemin de fer there is mathematically a better way to play every hand and this is known as basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you anticipate the odds of cards being dealt from the deck, then you can increase your wager size when the odds are in your favor and decrease them when they are not.
You are only going to succeed at under half the hands you wager on, so it is important that you adjust wager size when the odds are in your favor.
To do this when wagering on twenty-one you should use basic strategy and card counting to succeed.

Using it when you bet on blackjack will bring down the casino’s odds advantage to near to zero.
Card counting tilting the odds in your favour
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting plan obtain an advantage over the gambling hall.
The reason this is easy.
Low cards favour the house in blackjack and high cards favour the player.
Low cards favor the dealer because they help him acquire winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, fourteen, 15, or 16 total on her 1st two cards).
In casino vingt-et-un, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the casino cannot.
She has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of playing twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will bust her.
The high cards favour the player because they may break the croupier when she hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally allocated between the croupier and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when she receives a blackjack so the player has an advantage.
You don’t have to add up 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 when the shoe is rich or poor in high cards and you can boost your wager when the expectation is in your favour.
This is a basic explanation of how card-counting systems work, but gives you an insight into how the rationale works.
When playing chemin de fer over the longer term card counting will assist in altering the edge in your favor by approx 2%.
