- Thursday, 14 Sep 2006
Today we would like to help you with your gambling by telling you about the basic blackjack strategy, that was first calculated by statisticians and then by computers. The basic blackjack gambling strategy is based on a statistical analysis and the fact that the player may choose to double down or split when favorable and gets paid 3:2 for blackjack.
The dealer, on the other hand, must stick to the rules and stand on 17 and above, and cannot double down or split and only gets paid 1:1 for blackjack. It is a fact that the dealer has more than a 35% chance of busting if their face-up card is a 3, 4, 5 or 6. So, in this case, if you have a total of 13 to 16, you should stand as the dealer has a good chance of busting, as do you, but you can choose not to hit whereas the dealer must hit.
However if the dealer has a 7, 8, 9, 10 or Ace, you should take another card as there is a high probability that the dealer's face down card is a 10, and their hand will beat you. And, of course, while gambling, you must remember a few basic blackjack strategy rules that apply to all kinds of blackjack gambling. You should always stand on 17 or better, hit on 12-16 when dealer shows 7 or higher, and you should always hit on 8 or less. | |
