BlackJack Tips
Some tips easily apply to both online and casino blackjack play, byt these tips
were originally written to with casino blackjack in mind:
Use basic Blackjack strategy. Most Blackjack players will lose about 2% of every bet
because of improper play. In casino blackjack be sure to have a good idea of what basic
strategy suggests, and don't be afraid to ask the dealer for help if its an unusual situation.
For online blackjack consult a website or book to help you make your decision.
To slow down your playing time choose a crowded table where you will be able to play fewer
hands. Being the sole player at a blackjack table is not as fun without the interaction.
Furthermore, your bets can be placed very quickly and you can run through your bankroll
in a flash. The same situation exists online, which leads me to next tip:
Always wear a watch, preferably one that beeps on the hour. For online blackjack you
should go so far as to make sure there is a clock in your field of vision for your entire
playing time. At casino blackjack the only way to ever get the time is to bring your own
pocket or wristwatch. Whether online or not, always pay attention to how long you've been
playing for, and limit it to a reasonable amount of time.
The dealer's hand averages 18.23. So, don't be afraid to hit if basic strategy calls for it.
In the casino blackjack takes on an aura of male chauvinism, one in which hitting a modest
hand is more of a risk (male type action) and therefore a more manly option to choose in
front of your cool dude friends. Chances are if you're this type of player you're also a
chain smoker and a Britney Spears fan. Please, don't give into the peer pressure - you know
they're hocking low quality ideas. Besides, what's cooler, the loser who bet big or the winner
who played smart?
Increase the amount of your bet only when you're winning. It is natural human instinct to do
the opposite and increase your bet when you're losing, to try and make up losses. You should
truly only increase the amount of your bet if you have a good situation presented, not simply
a run of wins, but it's a less risky action to perform if you're not already on a losing streak.
This tip is meant to ensure that you don't start doubling your bets to make up your losses.
Be aware that some casino blackjack tables use the 'Dealer hits soft 17' rule which increases
the house advantage. Look for tables where dealers must stand on all 17s.
The casino's blackjack dealer will bust more often when his up card is a 2 through 6 and he
will complete more hands when his up card is 7 through ace. Basic strategy usually suggests
standing when the house is showing a 6, even if your hand is a 13. Since this seems almost
counterintuitive, and human nature is to want to yell hit me on a 13, it is a most common
downfall for novice blackjack players. Either consult basic strategy, or let 'dealer busting
cards' become the source of a new instinct to stand and not hit.
To determine an appropriate bankroll amount for a table session of Blackjack multiply your
normal bet by 40. This will allow you to play for a reasonable amount of time, and once that
time has gone by (remember to follow tip #3 and always wear a watch), you can make your
finishing moves and head out. It also usually represents a long enough length of time to
determine a 'point' worth knowing for card counters.
In Blackjack it is always to your advantage to play against as few decks as possible.
You can always ask around at the casinos and find out how many decks are in use. Also pay
close attention to their shuffling rules, how often they shuffle, how deep into the deck they
go before reshuffling, the deeper the better for card counters.
If you play Blackjack using basic strategy you will reduce the house edge to less than 1%.
Yes I know this is the same as the first tip, but it's just that important! What other games
can you play with a house edge at < 1%?
