If you love the fulfillment and adventure of an excellent card game and the anticipation of winning and earning some money with the odds in your favour, playing twenty-one is for you.

So, how can you beat the croupier?

Quite simply when playing 21 you are looking at the risks and probabilities of the cards in regard to:

1. The cards in your hand

2. What cards might come from the shoe

When playing twenty-one there is statistically 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 being dealt from the deck, then you will be able to increase your bet size when the odds are in your favor and lower them when the odds are not.

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

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

Basic strategy and card counting

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

Card counting getting the expectation in your favor

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting system obtain an edge over the gambling den.

The reason this is easy.

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

Low cards favour the house because they aid them acquire winning totals on her hands when she is stiff (has a 12, 13, 14, 15, or sixteen total on her first 2 cards).

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

He has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will bust them.

The high cards favour the player because they may bust the house when she hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

Despite the fact blackjacks are, evenly allocated between the casino and the player, 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 to know when you have an advantage over the casino.

You only need to know at what point the shoe is rich or poor in high cards and you can jump your wager when the expectation is in your favour.

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

When betting on blackjack over an extended time card counting will help in shifting the odds in your favour by approximately 2%.
