Quite simply when wagering on blackjack you are studying the risks and chances of the cards in relation to:

1. What your hand is

2. What cards could come from the shoe

When playing chemin de fer there is mathematically a better way to play each hand and this is called basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you calculate the odds of cards being dealt from the deck, then you can increase your action amount when the odds are in your favor and decrease them when the edge is not.

You are only going to succeed at under half the hands you bet on, 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 should use basic strategy and card counting to win.

Since mathematicians and scientists have been investigating chemin de fer all sorts of complicated systems have arisen, including but not limited to "counting cards" but although the idea is complicated counting cards is pretty much straightforward when you wager on chemin de fer.

If when playing 21 you card count correctly (even if the game uses multiple decks), you can shift the edge to your favour.

Chemin de fer Basic Strategy

Using it when you play blackjack will bring down the casino’s expectations to near to zero.

Counting cards shifting the odds in your favour

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting scheme achieve an edge over the gambling den.

The reasoning behind this is easy.

Low cards favour the house in 21 and high cards favor the gambler.

Low cards favor the croupier because they aid them acquire winning totals on his hands when he is stiff (has a 12, 13, fourteen, fifteen, or 16 total on their initial 2 cards).

In casino chemin de fer, 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 wagering on blackjack require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will bust him.

The high cards favour the gambler because they may bust the casino when he hits his stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally dispersed between the croupier and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the gambler has an advantage.

You don’t have to tally the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the casino.

You only need to know when the shoe is flush or depleted in high cards and you can jump your action when the edge is in your favor.

This is a basic explanation of why card-counting plans work, but gives you an understanding into how the logic works.

When wagering on chemin de fer over the longer term card counting will help in altering the expectation in your favor by approx two percent.
