1. What your hand is

2. What cards might come from the shoe

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 wager size when the edge is in your favor and lower them when the odds are not.

You’re only going to win under half the hands you gamble on, so it is important that you adjust bet size when the odds are in your favor.

To do this when playing twenty-one you have to use basic strategy and card counting to win.

Blackjack Basic Strategy

Blackjack basic strategy is centralized around a basic system of how you bet depending upon the cards you receive and is mathematically the best hand to play while not card counting. It informs you when gambling on vingt-et-un when you should hit or hold.

Counting cards tilting the edge in your favour

Card counting works and players use a card counting plan gain an edge over the gambling den.

The reason this is simple.

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

Low cards favour the dealer because they assist them acquire winning totals on her hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, thirteen, fourteen, 15, or 16 total on his first two cards).

In casino vingt-et-un, you can stand on your stiffs if you want to, but the house cannot.

The casino has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of wagering on blackjack require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will bust him.

The high cards favour the player because they could break the house when she hits her stiffs and also Aces and Tens means blackjack for the gambler.

Although blackjacks are, evenly dispensed between the casino and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he gets 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 casino.

You simply need to know at what point the shoe is loaded or reduced in high cards and you can increase your wager when the expectation is in your favor.

This is a basic breakdown of why card-counting systems work, but gives you an understanding into how the logic works.

When gambling on chemin de fer over the longer term card counting will help in tilting the odds in your favor by approximately two percent.
