Playing Blackjack — to Win
If you like the fulfillment and adventure of a good card game and the elation of winning and making some money with the odds in your favor, betting on chemin de fer is for you.
So, how do you defeat the house?
Quite simply when betting on chemin de fer you are looking at the risks and probabilities of the cards in relation to:
1. The cards in your hand
2. What cards can be dealt from the deck
When betting on 21 there is statistically a best way to play each hand and this is known as basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you anticipate the odds of cards coming out of the deck, then you can increase your bet amount when the odds are in your favor and decrease them when they are not.
You’re only going to succeed at under half the hands you wager on, so it is important that you adjust bet size when the risks are in your favor.
To do this when wagering on 21 you should use basic strategy and card counting to succeed.

Using it when you wager on twenty-one will bring down the casino’s edge to near to zero.
Card counting tilting the edge in your favor
Card counting works and players use a card counting approach gain an edge over the gambling hall.
The reasoning behind this is easy.
Low cards favour the house in 21 and high cards favor the player.
Low cards favor the house because they help him acquire winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, 14, 15, or sixteen total on his 1st two cards).
In casino twenty-one, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the casino cannot.
The dealer has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of betting on 21 require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will break them.
The high cards favour the player because they could bust the casino when he hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Though blackjacks are, equally dispersed between the croupier and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
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 just need to know when the shoe is flush or poor in high cards and you can boost your action when the edge is in your favour.
This is a simple commentary of how card-counting schemes work, but gives you an understanding into how the rationale works.
When betting on twenty-one over an extended time card counting will aid in tilting the expectation in your favour by approx two percent.
