Playing Vingt-et-un — to Win

So, how do you beat the house?

Quite simply when betting on twenty-one you are watching the risks and probabilities of the cards in relation to:

1. What your hand is

2. What cards should be dealt from the deck

When betting on vingt-et-un there is mathematically a better way to play each hand and this is called basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you determine the chances of cards being dealt from the deck, then you will be able to increase your bet amount when the odds are in your favor and lower them when they are not.

You are only going to succeed at under half the hands you play, so it is important that you adjust bet size when the odds are in your favour.

To do this when gambling on 21 you have to use basic strategy and card counting to succeed.

fundamental tactics and card counting

Since professionals and academics have been studying 21 all sorts of abstract systems have been developed, including but not limited to "card counting" but although the idea is complicated card counting is all in all very easy when you bet on 21.

If when betting on 21 you card count properly (even if the game uses multiple decks), you can change the edge to your favor.

Blackjack Basic Strategy

Chemin de fer basic strategy is assembled around a basic plan of how you wager depending upon the hand you receive and is mathematically the strongest hand to play without card counting. It tells you when gambling on 21 when you should hit or stand.

It is extremely simple to do and is soon committed to memory and up until then you can find complimentary cards on the net

Using it when you bet on 21 will bring down the casino’s edge to near to zero.

Counting cards shifting the edge in your favor

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting approach gain an edge over the gambling den.

The reasoning behind this is simple.

Low cards favor the casino in vingt-et-un and high cards favour the gambler.

Low cards favor the dealer because they help him acquire winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, fourteen, 15, or sixteen total on her first 2 cards).

In casino blackjack, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the croupier can’t.

He has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing blackjack require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will break them.

The high cards favour the player because they may bust the house when he hits her stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.

Although blackjacks are, equally dispensed between the dealer and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the player has an advantage.

You don’t have to tally the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the dealer.

You simply need to know at what point the shoe is flush or depleted in high cards and you can jump your wager when the odds are in your favour.

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

When playing 21 over an extended time card counting will aid in shifting the expectation in your favor by approximately 2 percent.
