If you love the thrill and excitement of a good card game and the excitement of winning and making some money with the odds in your favor, gambling on chemin de fer is for you.
So, how can you beat the house?
Basically when playing 21 you are looking at the risks and probabilities of the cards in relation to:
1. The cards in your hand
2. What cards can come from the shoe
When betting on blackjack there is mathematically a better way to play every hand and this is known as basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you calculate the chances of cards coming out of the deck, then you are able to increase your wager size when the edge is in your favor and lower them when the edge is not.
You’re only going to succeed at under half the hands you play, so it is important that you adjust action size when the odds are in your favour.
To do this when wagering on chemin de fer you have to use basic strategy and card counting to win.
Basic tactics and counting cards

If when wagering on vingt-et-un you card count effectively (even if the game uses multiple decks), you can tilt the edge to your favour.
Blackjack Basic Strategy
Blackjack basic strategy is amassed around an unsophisticated approach of how you wager depending upon the cards you receive and is mathematically the strongest hand to use while not card counting. It tells you when gambling on vingt-et-un when you need to hit or stand.
It’s remarkably easy to do and is quickly committed to memory and until then you can get complimentary guides on the net
Using it when you bet on 21 will bring down the casino’s edge to near to even.
Card counting tilting the odds in your favor
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting plan achieve an advantage over the gambling hall.
The reason for this is easy.
Low cards favor the dealer in 21 and high cards favour the player.
Low cards favor the dealer because they help him make winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, 13, 14, fifteen, or 16 total on their initial 2 cards).
In casino twenty-one, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the house cannot.
She has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on blackjack require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will bust her.
The high cards favour the player because they might break the casino when he hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Despite the fact blackjacks are, evenly dispersed between the dealer and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the player has an advantage.
You don’t have to compute the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the croupier.
You only need to know when the deck is flush or depleted in high cards and you can elevate your action when the expectation is in your favor.
This is a basic commentary of how card-counting schemes work, but gives you an insight into why the logic works.
When betting on 21 over the longer term card counting will aid in changing the expectation in your favor by approx two percent.
