If you love the thrill and excitement of a great card game and the excitement of winning and acquiring some money with the odds in your favor, betting on vingt-et-un is for you.
So, how do you defeat the house?
Basically when wagering on vingt-et-un you are watching the risks and chances of the cards in relation to:
1. The cards in your hand
2. What cards could come from the deck
When gambling on vingt-et-un 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 compute the odds of cards being dealt from the deck, then you will be able to boost your bet size when the odds are in your favor and decrease them when the odds are not.
You’re 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 gambling on twenty-one you must use basic strategy and card counting to succeed.
fundamental strategy and counting cards
Since mathematicians and intellectuals have been investigating vingt-et-un all sorts of complicated plans have been developed, including but not limited to "counting cards" but although the idea is complex counting cards is all in all very easy when you play Blackjack.
If when gambling on blackjack you count cards reliably (even if the game uses multiple decks), you can tilt the odds to your favour.
Twenty-one Basic Strategy
21 basic strategy is centered around a simple system of how you bet based upon the hand you receive and is mathematically the best hand to play without card counting. It tells you when wagering on 21 when you should take another card or hold.
It is remarkably easy to do and is quickly memorized and up until then you can get free guides on the web
Using it when you gamble on vingt-et-un will bring down the casino’s odds advantage to near to even.
Counting cards tilting the edge in your favour
Card counting works and players use a card counting approach achieve an advantage over the gambling den.
The reasoning behind this is easy.
Low cards favor the croupier in chemin de fer and high cards favour the gambler.
Low cards favor the croupier because they help him acquire winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, 13, fourteen, fifteen, or 16 total on their 1st two cards).
In casino vingt-et-un, you can hold on your stiffs if you want to, but the casino can’t.
The dealer has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing 21 require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how flush the shoe is in high cards that will break him.
The high cards favor the player because they may break the dealer when he hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Although blackjacks are, evenly dispensed between the dealer and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
You do not have to count the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the house.
You simply need to know when the shoe is rich or depleted in high cards and you can up your bet when the expectation is in your favor.
This is a basic commentary of why card-counting schemes work, but gives you an understanding into why the rationale works.
When betting on chemin de fer over an extended term card counting will assist in tilting the expectation in your favor by approx 2%.
