Easy Blackjack Strategy Guide
Introduction
Blackjack is unique among casino games because players can influence their odds during play. Whether casinos like it or not, skill plays a significant role in this game.
Understanding Blackjack
Blackjack, also called 21, involves playing against the dealer. Your position at the table doesn’t affect your odds?"you're always competing against the dealer, not other players.
Card Values
- Tens, Jacks, Queens, Kings: Count as 10.
- Aces: Count as 1 or 11, according to player preference.
- 2-9: Count at face value.
Objective
The goal is to get as close to 21 as possible without exceeding it. If your total is higher than the dealer's without going over 21, you win.
Basic Rules
1. Dealing: Players and the dealer start with two cards. The dealer has one card face up, one face down.
2. Choices: You can "stand" (keep your hand) or "hit" (take another card). If your total exceeds 21, you "bust," and the dealer wins.
3. Winning: If your total is higher than the dealer's without busting, you win. A tie is a "push," meaning no win or loss.
4. Payouts: A regular win pays 1:1. A two-card "Blackjack" pays 3:2.
Special Rules
- Insurance: If the dealer's up-card is an Ace, you can place an "insurance" bet up to half your original bet. If the dealer has Blackjack, insurance pays 2:1.
Dealer's Play
- Must hit on 16 or less.
- Must stand on a hard or soft 17.
Player Strategies
To increase your chances of winning, follow this tested strategy:
For Hard Hands
- 11 or less: Always hit.
- 12 to 16:
- If the dealer shows 7 to Ace, hit.
- If the dealer shows 2 to 6, stand (except hit if dealer shows 2 or 3).
- 17 or more: Always stand.
For Soft Hands
- Soft 12 (Ace + 1): Always hit.
- Soft 18: Stand unless the dealer shows a 9 or 10.
- Soft 19 and above: Stand.
Doubling Down
Often, you can double your bet after the first two cards:
- Hard Hands:
- Double on 11.
- Double on 10 unless the dealer shows 10 or Ace.
- Double on 9 against dealer's 2 to 6.
- Soft Hands:
- Double with Ace 2 to Ace 7 against dealer's 4, 5, or 6.
- Double with Ace 6 against 2 or 3.
- Double with Ace 7 against 3.
Splitting Pairs
If you have two cards of the same value, you can split them into separate hands by placing an additional bet:
- Always split: Ace-Ace, 8-8.
- Never split: 10-10, 5-5, 4-4.
- Split other pairs: Only if the dealer shows 2 to 6.
Conclusion
While these strategies may seem complex, practicing at home can make them second nature. With skillful play, you can improve your odds at the table.
