2. What cards possibly could come from the shoe

If you add card counting that helps you compute the odds of cards coming out of the deck, then you are able to increase your wager size when the odds are in your favor and lower them when the odds are not.
You are only going to succeed at under half the hands you gamble on, so it is important that you adjust action size when the risks are in your favour.
To do this when wagering on twenty-one you should use basic strategy and card counting to succeed.

Using it when you play vingt-et-un will bring down the casino’s edge to near to even.
Card counting tilting the edge in your favor
Card counting works and players use a card counting approach gain an advantage over the casino.
The reasoning behind this is easy.
Low cards favour the croupier in chemin de fer and high cards favor the player.
Low cards favor the dealer because they help them make winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, fourteen, 15, or sixteen total on her 1st 2 cards).
In casino vingt-et-un, you can stand on your stiffs if you choose to, but the dealer can’t.
The casino has no decision to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing twenty-one require that croupiers hit stiffs no matter how loaded the shoe is in high cards that will bust her.
The high cards favor the player because they may bust the house when she hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Despite the fact blackjacks are, evenly divided between the croupier and the gambler, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she receives a blackjack so the gambler has an advantage.
You do not have to add up the numbers of each of the individual card to know when you have an edge over the croupier.
You just need to know at what point the deck is loaded or poor in high cards and you can up your bet when the expectation is in your favour.
This is a simple explanation of how card-counting plans work, but gives you an insight into why the logic works.
When gambling on chemin de fer over an extended time card counting will help in shifting the expectation in your favour by approximately two percent.
