Playing Vingt-et-un — to Win
If you like the thrill and adventure of a perfect card game and the elation of winning and acquiring some cash with the odds in your favor, gambling on chemin de fer is for you.
So, how do you beat the casino?
Quite simply when wagering on 21 you are looking at the risks and probabilities of the cards in relation to:
1. What your hand is
2. What cards can be dealt from the deck
When wagering on blackjack there is mathematically a best way to play each 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 are able to boost your action 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 bet on, so it is important that you adjust bet size when the odds are in your favour.
To do this when betting on blackjack you must use basic strategy and card counting to succeed.

Using it when you play chemin de fer will bring down the casino's edge to near to zero.
Counting cards tilting the edge in your favor
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting scheme gain an edge over the casino.
The reason for this is simple.
Low cards favour the croupier in 21 and high cards favor the player.
Low cards favor the dealer because they help her make winning totals on her hands when she is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, 14, fifteen, or 16 total on their first 2 cards).
In casino chemin de fer, you can stay on your stiffs if you choose to, but the dealer can't.
The house has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will bust them.
The high cards favor the player because they could bust the casino when she hits their stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally allocated between the dealer and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
You do not have to add up the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the croupier.
You simply need to know when the shoe is rich or reduced in high cards and you can jump your wager when the odds are in your favor.
This is a simple explanation of how card-counting plans work, but gives you an insight into why the rationale works.
When betting on 21 over the longer term card counting will help in tilting the expectation in your favour by to around two percent.
