Playing 21 — to Win

1. What your hand is
2. What cards possibly could come from the shoe

If you add card counting that helps you compute the odds of cards coming out of the deck, then you can boost your bet amount when the edge is in your favor and lower them when they are not.
You are only going to win under half the hands you wager on, so it is important that you adjust bet size when the risks are in your favor.
To do this when playing chemin de fer you have to use basic strategy and card counting to succeed.

Counting cards getting the edge in your favour
Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting approach gain an advantage over the gambling hall.
The reason this is simple.
Low cards favor the casino in vingt-et-un and high cards favour the player.
Low cards favor the croupier because they help him make winning totals on his hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, 14, 15, or sixteen total on his first 2 cards).
In casino blackjack, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the house cannot.
She has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of gambling on twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will bust them.
The high cards favour the gambler because they could bust the croupier when he hits her stiffs and also blackjacks are made with aces and tens.
Though blackjacks are, evenly allocated between the croupier and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when she receives a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
You do not have to count the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the dealer.
You just need to know at what point the shoe is rich or poor in high cards and you can elevate your wager when the edge is in your favor.
This is a basic account of how card-counting systems work, but gives you an insight into how the rationale works.
When playing chemin de fer over the longer term card counting will aid in changing the edge in your favor by approx 2%.
