If you like the thrill and excitement of a great card game and the excitement of winning and earning some cash with the odds in your favor, gambling on 21 is for you.
So, how can you beat the dealer?
Quite simply when betting on chemin de fer you are watching the risks and probabilities of the cards in regard to:
1. What your hand is
2. What cards could come from the deck
When gambling on blackjack there is statistically a better way to play each hand and this is known as basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you calculate the odds of cards being dealt from the deck, then you can increase your wager size when the edge is in your favor and decrease them when the edge is not.
You are only going to win under half the hands you play, so it is important that you adjust wager size when the risks are in your favor.
To do this when playing 21 you must use basic strategy and card counting to succeed.

Card counting getting the odds in your favour
Card counting works and players use a card counting system gain an advantage over the casino.
The reason this is easy.
Low cards favor the casino in chemin de fer and high cards favour the player.
Low cards favor the croupier because they help him make winning totals on his hands when she is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, 14, 15, or sixteen total on his 1st 2 cards).
In casino chemin de fer, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the dealer cannot.
The casino has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of betting on 21 require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the deck is in high cards that will break her.
The high cards favour the gambler because they could break the house when she hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Despite the fact blackjacks are, equally distributed between the dealer and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the player has an edge.
You don’t have to compute the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an edge over the croupier.
You just need to know when the deck is flush or depleted in high cards and you can jump your wager when the edge is in your favour.
This is a simple breakdown of why card-counting schemes work, but gives you an insight into why the logic works.
When gambling on vingt-et-un over the longer term card counting will help in shifting the edge in your favour by approx 2 percent.
