1. The cards in your hand

2. What cards possibly could be dealt from the deck

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

To do this when playing vingt-et-un you have to use basic strategy and card counting to succeed.

Card counting shifting the edge in your favor

Card counting works and gamblers use a card counting scheme gain an advantage over the gambling den.

The reason for this is simple.

Low cards favour the croupier in blackjack and high cards favour the player.

Low cards favour the croupier because they help them make winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a twelve, 13, 14, 15, or sixteen total on his 1st two cards).

In casino 21, you can hold on your stiffs if you choose to, but the casino cannot.

The house has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of playing twenty-one require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the deck is in high cards that will break him.

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

Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally divided between the dealer and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she gets a blackjack so the player has an advantage.

You don’t have to tally the numbers 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 deck is rich or reduced in high cards and you can increase your action when the odds are in your favour.

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

When playing blackjack over an extended time card counting will aid in altering the edge in your favour by to around 2 percent.
