The Essential Blackjack Systems You Need To Be Aware Of
You may have heard gamblers saying they have a surefire system or they can sell you their product that will guarantee riches in a matter of hours when using this sure fire method. But the truth is, if your not a card counter [and even that is not 100%] all you have is common sense plus your own gut feeling when playing any casino games.
The intent of this article on blackjack tips is to make the blackjack player think and use his or her head when taking on the house at any casino.
Tip #1 - Know when you ought to stand
So if the dealer is showing an 8 or above for his card, you need to take the hit because his chances of busting out are not good, but if the dealer is showing a 6 or lower, and you have 11 or higher, you can stand with the dealer having a 40% or higher chance of busting out.
Tip #2 - When You Should Hit
Rule of thumb, if you have a pair of Aces or Eights, Split them! But never split a pair of 4s, 5s or 10s. And lastly, split all other pairs when the dealer's up card is lower than a 6. Basic strategy skills and important little tidbits to remember the next time you're at a Blackjack table! Stay with the safer bets always and split those Aces.
If you have never taken the insurance bet when playing blackjack, I will give a little explanation of how and why. The dealers up card is an Ace, does he have a face card in the hole? Does he have Blackjack? You bet $10 to play the hand, but now you have a chance to win back at least half your bet if you take the insurance bet, because then the dealer has to pay you half the pot so you break even. But by putting that extra $5 in the insurance pool, you have now just bet $15 total, and like I said, 80% of the time there will be NO Blackjack and you will lose $15 instead of $10.
