Key Tips For Winning at Blackjack
Winning at Blackjack requires a lot of patience and discipline but there is no doubt in my mind it is one of the best casino games to try. The rules are simple and the house edge is very small, meaning that there is a real chance of winning at blackjack in live or online casinos.
The very simple idea of the game is to try and reach 21, with Jacks, Queens and Kings counting as ten, with others having their numerical value. Going over 21 means you are bust and lose. Ace can count as 1 or 11. If you have a better hand than the dealer you win.
The important thing to remember is to make sure you follow the correct strategy, otherwise your chances of winning at blackjack go down fast. The very basic rule is this:
If you have 17 or better always stand – don’t take another card regardless of what the dealer has.
From then on, your best plan depends on your cards, and the dealer’s one card you can see.
Another key to winning at blackjack is to maximise your good situations. If you are dealt two cards with a value of ten or eleven, it often pays to double down, that is put an extra bet and be given one more card. It can also pay to split – that is take a pair and start a new game with each card. Not taking these propositions when the odds are in your favour will certainly cost you in the long run.
Sometimes the casino will offer you insurance if the dealer has an Ace. Don’t take it – it will not pay in the long run.
Learning when to stand, split and double down often decides if you will be winning at blackjack – or not! Make sure you get a strategy card to maximise your chances.
