May 19th, 2007 by Miracle

If you like the thrill and excitement of an excellent card game and the anticipation of winning and earning some money with the odds in your favour, playing 21 is for you.

So, how do you defeat the house?

Basically when playing blackjack you are observing the odds and chances of the cards in regard to:

1. The cards in your hand

2. What cards can come from the shoe

When wagering on vingt-et-un there is mathematically a better way to play every hand and this is called basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you compute the odds of cards being dealt from the deck, then you are able to boost your wager amount when the edge is in your favor and lower them when they are not.

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

To do this when betting on vingt-et-un you should use basic strategy and card counting to succeed.

fundamental strategy and counting cards

Since mathematicians and academics have been studying twenty-one all kinds of complex plans have been developed, including "card counting" but even though the theory is complicated card counting is pretty much very easy when you wager on twenty-one.

If when wagering on chemin de fer you card count effectively (even if the game uses more than one deck), you can change the odds to your favor.

Vingt-et-un Basic Strategy

Chemin de fer basic strategy is assembled around a basic system of how you wager based upon the cards you are dealt and is statistically the strongest hand to play without counting cards. It informs you when gambling on vingt-et-un when you need to take another card or hold.

It is remarkably simple to do and is before long memorized and until then you can get complimentary guides on the web

Using it when you gamble on blackjack will bring down the casino’s odds advantage to near to even.

Counting cards getting the odds in your favor

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting plan obtain an advantage over the casino.

The reasoning behind this is simple.

Low cards favor the house in twenty-one and high cards favor the gambler.

Low cards favour the croupier because they aid them make winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen total on his 1st 2 cards).

In casino vingt-et-un, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the croupier cannot.

She has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of playing vingt-et-un require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will break her.

The high cards favor the player because they might bust the casino when he hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

Although 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 edge.

You don’t have to add up the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the house.

You simply need to know at what point the shoe is loaded or poor in high cards and you can jump your bet when the expectation is in your favor.

This is a basic explanation of why card-counting schemes work, but gives you an insight into how the rationale works.

When betting on blackjack over the longer term card counting will assist in altering the odds in your favour by approx 2 percent.
