Useful Blackjack Tips that Will Help You Make a Profit (Page 1 of 2)
Gambling nowadays is extremely convenient. There are numerous land based casinos and countless online casinos to choose from and a wide variety of games as well. What you must understand about casino games is that they are all entertaining and exciting, but not all of them are lucrative. You must choose your casino game carefully. Slots, roulette, lottery games and craps are all games of luck, but unless you are a very lucky gambler you should stay away from them. Poker, baccarat and blackjack are all games of skill. Baccarat requires a rather large bankroll and poker is extremely competitive. So what you are left with is blackjack.
Blackjack is an extremely popular game and for good reasons. First of all it is extremely easy to play. Then, since it is based on skill, you are the one that influences the outcome of the game. With the aid of basic blackjack strategy you can lower the house edge to about 1%. No other casino game offers such a low house edge. Take the roulette wheel for example. It offers a house advantage of 5%.
I have taken the time to put together a few blackjack tips that you should keep in mind whenever you play blackjack online or in a land based casino. The order in which these blackjack tips are presented is of no importance. What is important is for you to read and understand them and improve your gambling skills.
Learn the rules of the game.
There are countless online gambling sites that present all the blackjack rules in a comprehensive and detailed manner. You cannot possibly expect to be a good blackjack player if you do not know the rules. At least learn the basic rules that apply to all blackjack variations. In case you were wondering, there are several types of blackjack games: blackjack switch, multi-hand blackjack, Atlantic City blackjack, double exposure blackjack, European blackjack, high limit blackjack, Spanish blackjack, and so on. If you know the basic blackjack rules you should pick up on the rule variations easily.
The true goal of playing online blackjack or casino blackjack is to beat the dealer.
Forget that nonsense about getting a 21. You do not have to keep hitting until you get a 21. Just hit until you have a card total that is good enough to beat the dealer. If you get a natural blackjack, congratulations. But not even that will guarantee that you will win. If the dealer also has a natural blackjack the game will be pushed. But you could very well win with a card total of 14 if the dealer busts.
Do not play with your gut – use a basic strategy card instead.
The best way to increase your chances of winning is to use basic strategy. Sometimes you will get a gut feeling that you should hit even if the basic strategy card advises you to stand. What you probably do not know is that playing by gut feeling alone gives the house an edge of 6%. But when you use basic strategy the house edge is reduced to 1%. So keep one on you at all times and consult it if necessary.
