Basic strategy and counting cards

Card counting tilting the edge in your favor

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

The reason this is easy.

Low cards favor the house in chemin de fer and high cards favour the gambler.

Low cards favor the casino because they help her make winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a 12, 13, fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen total on his initial two cards).

In casino chemin de fer, you can hold on your stiffs if you want to, but the dealer cannot.

The dealer has no choice to make, but you do and this is your advantage. The rules of betting on twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will break them.

The high cards favour the player because they might bust the dealer when he hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.

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

You don’t have to count the data of each of the individual card to know when you have an advantage over the casino.

You only need to know when the shoe is loaded or depleted in high cards and you can increase your wager when the edge is in your favour.

This is a simple commentary of how card-counting plans work, but gives you an understanding into why the logic works.

When playing chemin de fer over an extended time card counting will aid in altering the edge in your favor by approximately 2 percent.
