Without a doubt, one of the most fun games at the
casino is Blackjack. Giving you the opportunity to
play for hours on a limited cash flow if played
properly, it's no wonder that casinos often feature
more Blackjack tables than any other game. In this
article, we'll help you to tighten up your game to
ensure that you get the best results you can when
taking a trip to the tables.
- No matter how tempting it may be, regardless of
what the dealer is holding, never split a pair of
tens. This doesn't only apply to the ten card; any
card with a value of ten, from the actual ten up to
kings should not be split. A 20 is simply too strong
of a hand to take a risk on when it comes to
splitting.
- If you have a pair of aces or a pair of eights,
you should split, regardless of what cards the
dealer is showing. Splitting aces can result in two
blackjacks, which would multiply your funds, and 16
is a tough hand to play. For that reason, whenever
you get a pair of eights, split them; there is a
good chance that you'll end up getting 18 on at
least one of the hands, as opposed to playing off
the 16, which is a fool's bet.
- Insurance is for suckers, unless you're counting
cards. The odds work against the player when betting
on insurance, and for that reason, few people ever
choose to take the bet.
- If your hand is between 13 and 16, hope isn't lost,
as long as the dealer has a 6 or lower showing. In
this situation, you should stay, because the dealer
is likely to bust, as are you if you try to hit.
While it may be torturous to sit on such a low hand,
more often then not, it pays off when the dealer
busts.
- If the dealer's shown card is a ten, you should
continue to hit your hand until it totals 17 or
above. If you stay on any less than 17, you run a
significant chance of losing, as you should always
assume that the dealer's down-card is a ten, which
is the most commonly occurring card in Blackjack.
- If the dealer's up-card is a 4, a 5, or a 6, you
should stand on a hard 12. A hard 12 means that you
do not have an ace that you can use as an eleven or
a one.
Follow these tips, and you'll find that your
blackjack winning potential can go through the roof!
