Playing 21 — to Win
Tuesday, 27. October 2015
If you love the fulfillment and adventure of a great card game and the excitement of winning and making some money with the odds in your favor, gambling on Blackjack is for you.
So, how do you beat the dealer?
Basically when playing chemin de fer you are watching the odds and probabilities of the cards in relation to:
1. What your hand is
2. What cards possibly could come from the shoe
When betting on chemin de fer 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 compute the chances of cards being dealt from the deck, then you are able to increase your bet size 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 playing chemin de fer you should use basic strategy and card counting to succeed.
fundamental strategy and card counting
Since professionals and academics have been studying vingt-et-un all kinds of complex plans have arisen, including "counting cards" but although the idea is complicated counting cards is actually very easy when you gamble on twenty-one.
If when gambling on blackjack you card count effectively (even if the game uses more than one deck), you can shift the odds to your favor.
Vingt-et-un Basic Strategy
Blackjack basic strategy is centered around a basic approach of how you bet depending upon the hand you receive and is statistically the best hand to play while not card counting. It tells you when playing vingt-et-un when you need to hit or stand.
It is remarkably easy to do and is quickly committed to memory and until then you can find free guides on the internet
Using it when you gamble on blackjack will bring down the casino’s odds advantage to near to zero.
Card counting getting the edge in your favor
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting approach obtain an edge over the casino.
The reasoning behind this is easy.
Low cards favor the croupier in vingt-et-un and high cards favour the gambler.
Low cards favour the casino because they help him make winning totals on their hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, 13, 14, fifteen, or 16 total on their first 2 cards).
In casino twenty-one, you can stand on your stiffs if you want to, but the casino can’t.
The casino has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of wagering on blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will break them.
The high cards favour the player because they could bust the house when she hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Although blackjacks are, equally dispersed between the dealer and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he gets a blackjack so the player has an advantage.
You do not have to compute the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the casino.
You only need to know at what point the shoe is flush or poor in high cards and you can elevate your action when the odds are in your favour.
This is a basic explanation of how card-counting systems work, but gives you an insight into why the rationale works.
When playing chemin de fer over the longer term card counting will assist in changing the odds in your favour by approx two percent.
