[ English ]

So, how can you beat the croupier?

1. What your hand is

2. What cards might come from the shoe

When betting on twenty-one there is mathematically a better way to play every hand and this is called basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you anticipate the chances of cards coming out of the deck, then you will be able to boost your action size when the odds are in your favor and lower them when the odds are not.

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

To do this when wagering on vingt-et-un you have to use basic strategy and card counting to win.

Card counting shifting the expectation in your favour

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting approach gain an edge over the gambling den.

The reasoning behind this is easy.

Low cards favor the dealer in vingt-et-un and high cards favour the gambler.

Low cards favor the dealer because they help her make winning totals on his hands when she is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, 14, fifteen, or sixteen total on his initial 2 cards).

In casino vingt-et-un, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the croupier cannot.

The house has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of betting on blackjack require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will break them.

The high cards favor the player because they may break the casino when he hits their stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.

Though blackjacks are, evenly distributed between the casino and the player, 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 tally the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the dealer.

You simply need to know when the deck is rich or depleted in high cards and you can up your wager when the expectation is in your favour.

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

When playing twenty-one over an extended term card counting will assist in changing the expectation in your favor by approximately 2 percent.
