If you add card counting that helps you calculate the odds of cards being dealt from the deck, then you are able to boost your wager size when the odds are in your favor and decrease them when they are not.

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

To do this when betting on 21 you should use basic strategy and card counting to win.

Card counting getting the edge in your favour

Card counting works and players use a card counting approach gain an advantage over the gambling den.

The reason for this is easy.

Low cards favor the croupier in twenty-one and high cards favor the gambler.

Low cards favour the house because they aid him make winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, 14, fifteen, or 16 total on their initial two cards).

In casino vingt-et-un, you can hold on your stiffs if you want to, but the croupier can’t.

He has no decision to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of playing blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will break him.

The high cards favour the gambler because they might break the casino when he hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

Despite the fact blackjacks are, evenly allocated between the house and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.

You don’t have to count the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the casino.

You simply need to know at what point the deck is loaded or poor in high cards and you can up your bet when the odds are in your favor.

This is a basic commentary of why card-counting schemes work, but gives you an understanding into why the rationale works.

When playing blackjack over an extended term card counting will help in changing the odds in your favour by approx 2%.
