South opens 1♠ and North, with 14 points, responds 2.
Note that North is not permitted to make this bid without a 5-card or longer suit.

South, knowing that North has 5, bids 3 to confirm the trump suit.

North has a minimum strength hand with no slam aspirations, so he uses Fast Arrival and bids 4. South is also satisfied to just play at game.

2/1 is a good bidding method, and here, 4 is a good contract. But you can see that it is not a laydown - there is no bidding system that will always reach 100% contracts. In this hand a 3-3 split will provide the 10th trick, or if that fails, taking 2 ♠ finesses provides a 75% chance of success.
