If you like the blast and excitement of a perfect card game and the anticipation of winning and acquiring some cash with the odds in your favour, gambling on vingt-et-un is for you.

So, how can you beat the casino?

Basically when playing vingt-et-un you are watching the odds and probabilities of the cards in relation to:

1. What your hand is

2. What cards could come from the deck

When gambling on twenty-one there is mathematically a better way to play each hand and this is referred to as basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you determine the chances of cards coming out of the deck, then you can boost your wager size when the odds are in your favor and lower them when the edge is not.

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

To do this when gambling on blackjack you should use basic strategy and card counting to succeed.

Using it when you play vingt-et-un will bring down the casino’s odds advantage to near to zero.

Counting cards getting the odds in your favor

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting plan achieve an advantage over the casino.

The reasoning behind this is simple.

Low cards favor the croupier in blackjack and high cards favor the player.

Low cards favour the house because they help him make winning totals on her hands when she is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, 14, fifteen, or 16 total on their initial two cards).

In casino twenty-one, you can stand on your stiffs if you want to, but the dealer can’t.

The casino has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of gambling on vingt-et-un require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will break them.

The high cards favour the player because they might bust the casino when he hits his stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.

Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally distributed between the house and the player, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the player has an edge.

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

You just need to know at what point the shoe is loaded or reduced in high cards and you can up your action when the edge is in your favor.

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

When gambling on twenty-one over an extended time card counting will assist in altering the edge in your favor by approximately 2%.
