1. What your hand is

2. What cards could come from the shoe

When gambling on 21 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 will be able to boost your bet size when the edge is in your favor and decrease them when they are not.

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

To do this when wagering on twenty-one you have to use basic strategy and card counting to win.

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

Card counting shifting the odds in your favor

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting scheme gain an edge over the casino.

The reasoning behind this is easy.

Low cards favour the croupier in chemin de fer and high cards favor the gambler.

Low cards favour the casino because they help them acquire winning totals on his hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, 13, 14, fifteen, or 16 total on her first 2 cards).

In casino blackjack, you can stay on your stiffs if you want 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 dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will break them.

The high cards favour the player because they may bust the dealer when he hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

Despite the fact blackjacks are, evenly dispersed between the casino and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.

You don’t have to count the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the house.

You just need to know when the shoe is loaded or depleted in high cards and you can up your bet when the expectation is in your favour.

This is a simple breakdown of how card-counting plans work, but gives you an insight into why the rationale works.

When gambling on 21 over the longer term card counting will help in tilting the expectation in your favor by to around 2%.
