BlackJack Tips
There are a number of things the novice, intermediate or advanced player can do to increase their chances at the blackjack table. Below is a selection of blackjack tips to help you play your best.
Always keep in mind that blackjack is a game of skill.
Too few players attend to their game as though working on
a skill set
·The object of the game of blackjack is to beat the dealer. Far too many
times blackjack tips are written that state that the
object of the game is to get close to 21
· Although you can bring the edge to a low level in
blackjack, in its modern form, even as a card-counter, the
game is not possible to beat consistently. This may be the
most important of all the blackjack tips to keep in mind;
you can't always win. Accept that losses are a part of the
game. This will help your mindset as much as anything and
will keep you focused on your playing, keeping your skill
level up
·It is entirely possible to play with basic strategy and work the house
edge down to under 1%
· If you play blackjack on instinct, and pay little
attention to basic strategy (or these blackjack tips), you
will be facing a house edge between 3 and 6%
· Never take insurance when offered. Only take insurance
if you have a gut feeling that the dealer has blackjack,
or if you are card counting and aware of the cards
remaining in the deck.
·Know when to walk away. A winning streak on a blackjack table can't last
forever. Set a table limit for yourself and if you find
yourself losing, take a break and save your remaining
profits for another session.
