1. What your hand is

2. What cards could be dealt from the deck

Basic strategy and counting cards

Since professionals and academics have been studying Blackjack all kinds of abstract systems have been developed, including but not limited to "counting cards" but although the idea is complicated counting cards is pretty much very easy when you wager on chemin de fer.

Card counting shifting the expectation in your favour

Card counting works and players use a card counting plan obtain an advantage over the gambling den.

The reason this is simple.

Low cards favour the dealer in twenty-one and high cards favor the player.

Low cards favour the dealer because they help her acquire winning totals on her hands when she is stiff (has a twelve, 13, 14, fifteen, or 16 total on her first two cards).

In casino 21, you can hold on your stiffs if you want to, but the casino can’t.

She has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing 21 require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how flush the deck is in high cards that will break her.

The high cards favor the gambler because they may bust the croupier when he hits his stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the player.

Although blackjacks are, equally allocated between the casino and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when he gets 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 edge over the dealer.

You just need to know when the deck is loaded or reduced in high cards and you can increase your action when the odds are in your favour.

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

When wagering on chemin de fer over an extended time card counting will help in tilting the expectation in your favor by to around two percent.
