Introduction
Blackjack is a game of luck and skill, but it can also be a game of confidence. In order to get better at blackjack, you need to have faith in what you’re doing and have an understanding of basic strategy. The best way to build up your knowledge base and learn how to play strategically is by practicing as much as possible. However, if you don’t have time for that or just want some extra help getting started learning how to play (and win!) then read on! Here are some general strategies for playing Blackjack so that you can begin winning more chips:
Always split Aces and 8s.
- Always split Aces and 8s
- Don’t split 6s, 7s, or 8s
- Don’t split 10s or face cards (Jacks through Kings)
- Don’t split Aces and 8s
Never split 10s or face cards.
If you have a 10 or face card in your hand, don’t split them. This is because the dealer has a higher probability of busting with a 10 or face card than you do. If you split your 10s or face cards, you will lose more money than you win.
Always double 11 if the dealer is showing a lower card.
When you’re dealt a two-card total of 11, there are two options.
- Double down right away. This means that you are doubling your bet and only getting one more card for an added hand value of 12 or less (as opposed to splitting the pair). Double-doubles are allowed in blackjack when the dealer shows a 4 or higher, but some casinos do not allow them if the dealer has a 5 showing on their face up card. You may double down on any two cards except Aces unless they’re low valued ones like 2s or 3s; these are called soft hands since they can be easily improved with subsequent cards given enough time for resolution—hence why some casinos don’t allow players with soft hands like this to double down in hopes that they’ll improve quickly enough before being busted out by a bad card!
- Split 11s into two separate hands that add up less than 21 points total between them (or 19 if playing Atlantic City rules). So if your first two cards add up to 16 points already then splitting would just make things worse by making it harder for yourself while increasing how much money goes into play because each new hand now costs half what it did initially plus whatever additional bets were made during play before being split apart again…
Never hit 12 against a dealer 2-6 and always hit 12 against a dealer 7 or higher.
You should never hit 12 against a dealer 2-6 and always hit 12 against a dealer 7 or higher.
This is because when you hit 12 against a dealer 2-6, your chance of busting is quite high. The dealer has only four cards that will bust him if he hits the hand, but there are five cards in the deck that will break your 12 (the 5 and 10). If you click “stand” instead of hitting without thinking about it first, then you have greater chances than normal of winning.
Double 9 against a 3, 4, 5, or 6.
You are dealt a 9.
The dealer is showing a 2, 3 or 4.
Do not double, as you will lose $20 on average.
The dealer is showing a 5, 6 or 7.
Double your bet and the 9 to make 18 points! You will win $15 on average with this hand if the dealer doesn’t hit their 17 and busts out before you do.
Split 7s against a dealer 2 through 7.
When the dealer is a 2 through 7, you should split the 7s.
When the dealer is 10 or 11, you should still split these cards.
When the dealer has an ace up, do not split your 7s.
By following these simple blackjack strategies you can become more confident and be more likely to win more chips!
Blackjack is a game of strategy, and the best way to learn it is by practicing. The best way to practice? By using an app!
There are many different apps out there that will teach you all about blackjack strategies, but not all are created equal. When looking for a good blackjack app, make sure it offers the most realistic experience possible: make sure they simulate real casino conditions and allow you to play against real opponents! That way when you’re ready for the real thing (and believe me: once your skills improve enough), going into any casino across America won’t phase you at all.
Conclusion
Blackjack is one of the most popular casino games in the world, and with good reason. It’s fast-paced and easy to play, plus you don’t need any special skills or equipment other than a deck of cards (or an app). Plus there are so many variations on this classic game that even if you think you know it all already there will still be something new here for everyone!
