I have been playing cards for many years and I have been playing blackjack for most of the time I have been involved in cards.  I think everybody gets a basic strategy in there mind and then sticks to it, but this is not always the best way to win more often.  You have to play the odds. 

I found this great chart to show you how to play to beat the odds, well most of the time.

Black Jack Strategy Chart

Cool! Thanks for sharing the site. I have a good friend who is wild about Black Jack and I’ll be sure to pass it on to him.

I’ve played Black Jack a few times in a casino but I haven’t won many hands. It’s tougher than it looks. But still a lot of fun!

That is really cool.  I have never seen a chart like this before.  I wonder if you can actually use this in a casino or if this is something that they would not like.  I have seen people playing roulette with little cards so it may be O.K.

That site indeed has some great strategies. But don’t blindly follow them. Learn them first and the try your own variations in them and search for better strategy.

Yes that’s a good suggestion. Virtually hundreds of websites on internet are advising some types of tips and strategies so instead of blindly following them, try them at home or with your friends. Only then try them at casino.

Very useful site, I find a lot of sites offer the same kind of advice and teaches me nothing really new - however, I stand by the sentiment that the best way to learn is just by playing the game more.

Oh, whoa! That’s awesome! I’m definatly going to use this next time I play. I always had my own shaky standard for that kind of stuff but with this chart, i’ll feel more confident in my choice! Thanks so much!

Even though I have been playing blackjack for years I always keep my card with me to check on those splits and doubles(that’s where you really make the money).  Most casinos that I have been to do allow you to use the cards at the table.

Basic strategy is a betting system which provides for you the optimal move for every single possible situation you may face at the blackjack table. Due to the fact that the number of hand…

Hello Friend…
Blackjack is a beatable game, for a skilled player, with the right rules. 6-5 BJ gives the house a much bigger advantage, which is almost impossible to overcome. The best BJ players don’t just count, they ace track, shuffle track, and hole card as well, also have to learn to play under heavy cover, to keep from getting banned, but a few people manage to do so. Best advantage a top player can expect, using just counting, in a 3-2 BJ game with good rules is about 1%, and that is with a big (such as 1 to 20) spread, with an indexed count system, and never making a mistake. In the real world, an advantage of 0.25% to 0.5% is realistic. So if you are playing black chips at about 60 to 80 hands per hour, expect long term winnings of maybe $30 to $80 per hour; but have a bankroll that can handle pushing $2,000 across the table per hand, and which can keep that up through long losing streaks.
