Playing Chemin de fer — to Win


If you love the thrill and excitement of an excellent card game and the excitement of winning and acquiring some money with the odds in your favor, gambling on chemin de fer is for you.

So, how can you beat the croupier?

Basically when playing blackjack you are looking at the odds and chances of the cards in relation to:

1. The cards in your hand

2. What cards should be dealt from the shoe

When wagering on 21 there is statistically a better way to play every hand and this is known as basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you anticipate the chances of cards coming out of the deck, then you can increase your action size when the odds are in your favor and lower them when the edge is not.

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

To do this when playing blackjack you have to use basic strategy and card counting to succeed.

Counting cards tilting the odds in your favour

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting system gain an advantage over the gambling den.

The reason for this is easy.

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

Low cards favour the house because they help him make winning totals on her hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, 13, fourteen, 15, or sixteen total on their first 2 cards).

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

The casino has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will bust them.

The high cards favour the gambler because they may break the house when he hits their stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.

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

You don’t have to count the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the croupier.

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

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

When playing 21 over an extended term card counting will help in shifting the expectation in your favour by approx 2 percent.
