Playing Twenty-one — to Win
If you like the thrill and adventure of a perfect card game and the elation of winning and earning some money with the odds in your favor, wagering on twenty-one is for you.

1. What your hand is
2. What cards should come from the deck
When playing vingt-et-un there is statistically a best way to play each hand and this is known as basic strategy. If you add card counting that helps you compute the odds of cards coming out of the deck, then you will be able to boost your action size when the odds are in your favor and lower them when the edge is 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 risks are in your favor.
To do this when gambling on twenty-one you have to use basic strategy and card counting to win.
fundamental strategy and card counting
Since mathematicians and scientists have been investigating Blackjack all kinds of complex plans have arisen, including "counting cards" but even though the theory is complex card counting is pretty much straightforward when you wager on 21.
If when playing twenty-one you count cards effectively (even if the game uses more than one deck), you can tilt the odds to your favour.
Twenty-one Basic Strategy
21 basic strategy is amassed around a basic plan of how you wager based upon the cards you receive and is mathematically the best hand to play without card counting. It tells you when gambling on vingt-et-un when you should hit or stand.
It’s surprisingly easy to do and is soon memorized and until then you can get free guides on the web
Using it when you bet on 21 will bring down the casino’s odds advantage to near to zero.
Counting cards getting the edge in your favor
Card counting works and players use a card counting system gain an edge over the gambling hall.
The reasoning behind this is easy.
Low cards favour the house in blackjack and high cards favor the player.
Low cards favour the dealer because they help them make winning totals on her hands when she is stiff (has a 12, 13, 14, 15, or 16 total on her initial 2 cards).
In casino twenty-one, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the dealer can’t.
The house has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of betting on 21 require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how rich the shoe is in high cards that will bust her.
The high cards favor the gambler because they may bust the house when he hits her stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Although blackjacks are, evenly dispersed between the casino and the gambler, the fact is that the player gets paid more (3:2) when he receives a blackjack so the gambler has an edge.
You don’t have to count the data of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the house.
You simply need to know when the shoe is flush or depleted in high cards and you can jump your bet when the odds are in your favor.
This is a basic explanation of why card-counting schemes work, but gives you an understanding into why the logic works.
When wagering on 21 over an extended term card counting will help in altering the odds in your favour by approx 2 percent.
