If you love the thrill and adventure of a great card game and the elation of winning and earning some cash with the odds in your favour, betting on twenty-one is for you.

So, how do you defeat the casino?

Quite simply when playing chemin de fer you are looking at the risks and probabilities of the cards in regard to:

1. The cards in your hand

2. What cards could be dealt from the deck

When enjoying chemin de fer there is statistically a better way to play every hand and this is called basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you determine the chances of cards being dealt from the deck, then you can increase your action amount when the edge is in your favor and lower them when they are not.

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

To do this when wagering on chemin de fer you have to use basic strategy and card counting to succeed.

Basic strategy and counting cards

Since mathematicians and intellectuals have been investigating Blackjack all kinds of complicated systems have been developed, including but not limited to "card counting" but although the idea is complicated counting cards is actually straightforward when you bet on Blackjack.

If when playing blackjack you count cards effectively (even if the game uses more than one deck), you can change the odds to your favour.

Vingt-et-un Basic Strategy

Twenty-one basic strategy is assembled around an unsophisticated system of how you wager based upon the hand you receive and is mathematically the strongest hand to play without card counting. It tells you when playing 21 when you need to take another card or hold.

It’s unbelievably simple to do and is before long committed to memory and until then you can find free cards on the internet

Using it when you gamble on twenty-one will bring down the casino’s edge to near to zero.

Counting cards shifting the expectation in your favour

Card counting works and players use a card counting plan gain an advantage over the casino.

The reasoning behind this is simple.

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

Low cards favour the dealer because they help her acquire winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a 12, 13, fourteen, fifteen, or 16 total on their 1st 2 cards).

In casino twenty-one, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the casino cannot.

He has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of wagering on blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how flush the shoe is in high cards that will bust him.

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

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

You do not have to add up the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the dealer.

You only need to know at what point the shoe is rich or depleted in high cards and you can increase your bet when the edge is in your favor.

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

When playing chemin de fer over an extended time card counting will assist in tilting the expectation in your favor by approximately two percent.
