If you like the thrill and adventure of a perfect card game and the elation of winning and making some cash with the odds in your favour, betting on 21 is for you.

So, how can you defeat the house?

1. What your hand is

2. What cards can be dealt from the shoe

When playing twenty-one there is statistically a best way to play every hand and this is known as basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you compute the chances of cards being dealt from the deck, then you are able to increase your bet amount when the edge is in your favor and decrease them when the edge is not.

You’re only going to win under half the hands you wager on, so it is important that you adjust action size when the risks are in your favor.

To do this when playing vingt-et-un you have to use basic strategy and card counting to win.

Using it when you gamble on 21 will bring down the casino’s expectations to near to even.

Counting cards shifting the expectation in your favour

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 favour the croupier in 21 and high cards favor the gambler.

Low cards favour the house because they help him make winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a 12, 13, fourteen, 15, or sixteen total on his first 2 cards).

In casino 21, you can stand on your stiffs if you want to, but the casino can’t.

She has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of gambling on 21 require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how flush the shoe is in high cards that will break her.

The high cards favor the player because they may break the house when she hits their stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.

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

You don’t have to compute the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the dealer.

You simply need to know at what point the deck is loaded or reduced in high cards and you can boost your action when the expectation is in your favour.

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

When playing 21 over an extended time card counting will help in tilting the odds in your favor by approximately two percent.
