So, how do you defeat the croupier?
Quite simply when playing vingt-et-un you are looking at the odds and probabilities of the cards in regard to:
1. The cards in your hand
2. What cards could come from the deck
When betting on blackjack there is statistically a better way to play each hand and this is called 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 amount when the edge is in your favor and lower them when they are not.
You’re only going to win under half the hands you gamble on, so it is important that you adjust action size when the odds are in your favor.
To do this when gambling on 21 you should use basic strategy and card counting to win.
Basic strategy and counting cards

Card counting getting the odds in your favor
Card counting works and players use a card counting approach achieve an advantage over the casino.
The reason for this is simple.
Low cards favor the dealer in chemin de fer and high cards favour the gambler.
Low cards favour the dealer because they help him make winning totals on their hands when he is stiff (has a 12, thirteen, 14, fifteen, or sixteen total on their initial two cards).
In casino blackjack, you can stay on your stiffs if you want to, but the croupier can’t.
The house has no choice to make, but you do and this is your edge. The rules of playing twenty-one require that dealers hit stiffs no matter how flush the shoe is in high cards that will break him.
The high cards favor the gambler because they may break the dealer when she hits their stiffs and also because both tens and Aces mean blackjacks.
Though blackjacks are, evenly distributed between the croupier and the player, the fact is that the gambler gets paid more (3:2) when she receives a blackjack so the player has an edge.
You do not have to compute the numbers of each of the individual card in order to know when you have an advantage over the dealer.
You just need to know when the deck is flush or reduced in high cards and you can increase your bet when the odds are in your favour.
This is a simple account of how card-counting systems work, but gives you an insight into how the logic works.
When gambling on vingt-et-un over an extended term card counting will help in changing the odds in your favor by approx 2%.
