Playing Chemin de fer — to Win
If you love the fulfillment and excitement of a good card game and the elation of winning and making some cash with the odds in your favour, betting on 21 is for you.
So, how do you defeat the casino?
Basically when wagering on chemin de fer you are observing the risks and chances of the cards in relation to:
1. The cards in your hand
2. What cards could come from the shoe
When playing 21 there is statistically a better way to play each hand and this is known as basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you compute the chances of cards being dealt from the deck, then you will be able to boost your bet size when the edge is in your favor and lower them when the edge is not.
You are only going to succeed at under half the hands you play, so it is important that you adjust action size when the risks are in your favor.
To do this when wagering on 21 you must use basic strategy and card counting to win.
Basic strategy and counting cards
Since professionals and academics have been studying 21 all kinds of complicated systems have been developed, including "card counting" but although the theory is complex card counting is actually straightforward when you bet on twenty-one.
If when betting on twenty-one you count cards correctly (even if the game uses more than one deck), you can shift the odds to your favor.
Twenty-one Basic Strategy
Twenty-one basic strategy is assembled around an uncomplicated system of how you wager based upon the hand you are dealt and is mathematically the strongest hand to use without card counting. It informs you when betting on twenty-one when you should hit or stand.
It's surprisingly easy to do and is before long memorized and up until then you can get free cards on the net
Using it when you gamble on blackjack will bring down the casino's expectations to near to even.
Counting cards getting the expectation in your favour
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting system achieve an advantage over the casino.
The reason for this is easy.
Low cards favour the casino in 21 and high cards favor the gambler.
Low cards favor the croupier because they help him make winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, 13, 14, 15, or sixteen total on his initial two cards).
In casino 21, you can hold on your stiffs if you want to, but the casino can't.
The house has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on 21 require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how flush the shoe is in high cards that will break them.
The high cards favour the player because they might break the dealer when he hits their stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the player.
Although blackjacks are, equally allocated between the house and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
You don't have to tally the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the casino.
You simply need to know when the shoe is loaded or poor in high cards and you can elevate your action when the expectation is in your favor.
This is a basic commentary of why card-counting plans work, but gives you an understanding into why the rationale works.
When playing vingt-et-un over an extended time card counting will assist in shifting the odds in your favour by approx two percent.
