Blackjack Tips

Blackjack is one of the most popular games played in the casino and it’s one of the simplest games to win money in because there isn’t much of a house advantage. I want to share some great tips with you that will help you next time you’re at the blackjack tables as long as you implement them. You could also play online blackjack which might be easier because then you won’t need to memorize the tips and you could just keep them open while you’re playing. Anyways let’s get started with the tips that I want to share with you.

* By most blackjack rules you’re allowed to split your pairs when you want too, but it isn’t always wise to split your pairs. I never suggest splitting up 10’s because you already have a 20 and you don’t want to risk busting or getting a lower hand and losing.

* You should always make sure that if you’re dealt two aces you split those because the chances of hitting a blackjack on both of them are fairly high. You won’t be dealt two aces often so make sure you always split them when you have the opportunity.

* Some players are always confused about whether or not they should ever buy insurance when they’re playing blackjack. I never recommend players buying insurance because most of the time it’s a waste of money.

* When the dealer is showing a 2-6 I recommend standing on any hand 12 or higher because the chances of the dealer busting this hand is really high and in your favour to stand no matter what your total is.

* When the dealer is showing a 10 you need to be careful about standing with anything lower then 17 because your chances of winning are slim. Even at 17 your chances are slim, but hitting at 17 isn’t the smartest move unless you’re counting cards and the deck is juiced with low cards.

* Blackjack Card Counting isn’t illegal in most countries or cities and although most casinos will kick you out and ban you from coming back you’re allowed to count cards in most destinations. Counting cards isn’t difficult either and there are many great strategies on counting cards that you can find on our website.

* You need to make sure that you’re able to find a table that fits your bankroll for that session. If you have $100 for your session then you want to find a table with a $5 minimum per hand and you should stick with $5 bets unless you’re winning a lot of counting cards.

* I suggest always doubling down when you have a 10 or 11 valued hand because the chances of hitting a 20-21 are high and worth the risk of doubling your bet. You’ll need to win some double down bets because this is where most of your profit will come from.

* You want the dealer to be your friend and not your enemy in a casino such as The Wynn in Las Vegas, so make sure you tip the dealer a $1 or $2 when you’re winning. They don’t get paid much money and rely on tips so don’t be cheap and throw them a $1 chip every once in awhile. Make sure you study some basic blackjack strategy before trying to play at a real casino.
