Why One Must Have Black Jack Strategy

By Leslie Mitchell


Since casinos were first set up, there is one game that became a favorite and it continues to be very popular including on online casinos. The game is blackjack. The paradox is that while those who understand it play it more than other games, those who are just starting out or trying their hand tend to avoid it because they find its rules complicated as well as the ins and the outs. Those who have black jack strategy though often walk away with some big winnings.

The objective in Blackjack is that a player gets 21 points on every hand or a close as close as possible to this but not to go over it. Getting a win depends on doing better than the hand of the dealer. The dealer plays by a total of 17 or more and with hits on lower number which gives a player an advantage.

If it happens that the first two cards drawn by a player add up to eleven or a number less then eleven, they will have to draw an additional card. Regardless of the card that a player is shown by the dealer, they must always play with the supposition that the dealer is keeping a ten hidden.

Should the cards a player have add up to a number between 12 and 16 which is treated as a danger zone, whether one draws or stands is decided by what a dealer is showing. A player should draw until they go past 16 should the dealer have a card that is anything from 7 and more, going up to an Ace.

Another card should not be drawn should the dealers have with them a card with any number from two to six. An exception to this rule is that one should go ahead and draw another card if the dealer has a card of 2 or 3.

You should never draw any other card if your cards have a value of seventeen up to twenty. The one time one should draw another card if this happens is if you hold a soft 17 or 18 which arises when there is an ace in your hand. Drawing is the way to go if you are being shown a card from starting from a 9 and going on to an Ace.

Another factor to remember is that insurance is for the most part not advised. This is because one is placing a wager on the dealer will get a Blackjack or twenty-one. The idea is that you are playing the game with the bet that you can beat the dealer rather than betting on the dealer beating you.

Before taking chances at Black Jack or other games played at the casino, having a good understanding of the rules is important. Playing by the rules will pay off in form of winnings. Do not be so easy to beat by playing a random game where you do not understand the rules well or even understand them.

It could be that luck is a part of winning something at the casinos, at the races, the lottery or other games that are mostly about chance. It is however important that one understands the rules of a game in order to have the best chance of walking away with winnings. Therefore, even as one hopes that Lady Luck will make an entrance while one is playing, it is of greater importance to have some really good black jack strategy.
