Blackjack
Strategy
The Game of Blackjack
 Blackjack is a very popular game in both real and online casinos all
around the world
 Blackjack has a fairly easy concept to grasp and is related to
various other card games which are played outside of the casino
setting, such as Pontoon and Vingt-et-un
 The aim of the game is to reach or get as close to 21 as possible
with the cards that you are dealt, without exceeding this number
and going bust
The Basic Strategy of Blackjack
 Whilst Blackjack is easy to understand, it is a game of probability.
Therefore, mathematics can be applied
 In doing so, you can minimise the house advantage and increase
your chances of beating the dealer
 Before you start trying to develop your own Blackjack formula, it
may prove useful to know that there is a widely used formula known
as the‘Basic Strategy’ that has shown outstanding results
 This strategy may not enable you to win every game, but it will
significantly improve your chances of winning in the long run
The Basic Strategy of Blackjack
 This Blackjack strategy was created by a computer which analysed
the results of millions of simulated Blackjack hands
 Through this, the computer created a formula that will help you to
make the best decisions in every hand possibility
 If you want to win at Blackjack, then it is important to understand
that a tried and tested computer system is much more reliable than
the human mind
 You will then need to spend some time learning this Blackjack
strategy, until it becomes an automatic process that you can
immediately act upon
The House Advantage
 In a game of Blackjack, the players play against the dealer, rather
than each other
 The dealer is the last to draw cards and because of this, gains
the advantage of knowing which cards have been dealt
 The average house advantage is usually around 5%, meaning that
the casino is more likely to win than the players
 By learning and applying the Basic Strategy for Blackjack, it is
possible for you to reduce the house advantage to about 0.5%,
meaning you are giving yourself much better odds of winning
Blackjack Strategy Variations
 There are a few variations in the game of Blackjack , meaning
there are also variations in the Basic Strategy
 For example, there is a formula for when the game is played with
a single deck of cards, as well as a different formula for when the
game is played with multiple decks that have been shuffled
together
 In some casinos, players are allowed to Double Down after
splitting a pair, whereas in other casinos this is not permitted
 Again in this instance, there will be changes to the Blackjack
strategy depending on the rules of the casino
Using the Blackjack Strategy
 The Basic Blackjack Strategy will help you to decide upon which
action you should make based on the cards in your hand and the
dealers card; should you Hit, Double, or Stand?
 Once you have learnt the formulas, you will be able to apply them
according to the game being played
 If you hit a streak of unsuccessful attempts, do not be tempted
to deviate from your strategy
 You may get lucky and win the next game, but you will only have
certain long term success by sticking with the formula
It is possible to download copies of the Basic Strategy online.
