Blackjack Tips
Playing blackjack can
be a great way to make some serious money. Follow these
simple tips to increase your chances of walking away with a
profit.
Stand - If the dealer's
upcard is 3,4,5, or 6, then stand on 12 or
higher.
Hit - If the dealer's
upcard is 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King or Ace then hit at
16 and lower.
Tens - Never split two
tens, two picture cards or two fours no matter what the
dealer is showing.
Aces and 8s - Always split
Aces and 8s; the former because it doubles your chances of
getting 21 and the latter because the alternative is to hit
on 16, which will most likely bust your hand.
On the side - The
insurance side bet is a big risk - play it if you fancy
adding a bit of additional excitement to the game, just
don't expect to win.
Keep your cool - Stay
sober and don't take unnecessary risks, because you're
either bored or the table turns cols. For example, don't
double your stake just because you've lost your last four
hands.
Stash your stack - Be
prepared to split and double down as the odds dictate. Don't
leave yourself short stacked for this reason, and don't
bottle it - you need to make the most of the odds when they
are in your favour.
Double down - Always
double down with a total of 11, except when the upcard is an
Ace. And double down on a ten against anything but a ten,
Jack, Queen or king.
Play your own hand - Don't
Worry about what other players are doing. Technically, their
actions do affect the order of the cards but you will always
get both good and bad players in the casino.
Don't be afraid of change
- If you don't like a particular table or dealer don't be
afraid to leave. spend too long worrying about where you
are, you don't spend enough time concentrating on the
cards.
