When someone plays a game, they play to win. One of
the many simple games at the casino is Blackjack.
For those who don't know how to play the game, it's
always best to start by learning the basics.
When playing Blackjack the most important feature to
remember is that there are four times as many cards
that have a value of 10 (10, J,Q,K) as any other
value. With this information, one must always assume
that the next card to be drawn from the deck has a
value of 10.
By keeping this in mind, one may realize that if one
has any hand that has a value over 12 one will
likely lose or in blackjack terms bust (go over 21).
Likewise if the dealer's card is a 2-6 it is likely
to draw a 10 card which means he will have to draw
again, likely causing him to bust.
Another way to make the odds more favorable to the
player than the dealer is by counting cards. This of
course requires many pages and charts that must be
memorized. Having a professionally written guide is
very helpful and there are many different authors
that have different styles and different counting
systems. It's always best to get more than one
opinion to find out which style works best.
Practice makes perfect. By investing time and money
with online training software learning the game, it
will eventually pay off at the casino.
Upon entering the casino, one must choose the right
table to play at. When one observes that the players
at a table seem to be winning a lot, it is a good
time to join in the action. Likewise, if you notice
the dealer has a lot of chips and the players seem
to be doing more losing than winning, then look for
a better table.
Reward the dealer by tipping when one is winning. If
the dealer knows he will be tipped when the players
wins, he may begin rooting and actually do subtle
things to help such as performing less thorough
shuffles and penetrating deeper into the shoe before
he re-shuffles thus allowing the player to get a
more accurate count of the cards.
Though if the dealer starts losing too much money
for the casino the pit boss will likely change
dealers.
Although it may be impossible to find the perfect
game, one should be familiar with how certain house
rules affect the player.
Keep in mind that as a rule of thumb, the fewer
decks the casino uses the more advantageous it is
for the player.
