Vacation ideas

Here are a few blackjack tips that we hope you’ll find useful.

1.  Use basic blackjack strategy - because it reduces the house edge to less than 1%.  Of course, the house edge will be lowered to that level only if you are flawless in the use of basic blackjack strategy.

2.  Play at blackjack tables where the dealer must stand on all 17s.  This reduces the house edge a little - compared to situations where the dealer hits soft 17, which actually increases the house advantage.

3.  If you don’t know how to use the insurance bet, don’t attempt use it – it’s one of the worst at the blackjack table.  It may seem like a good bet in the beginning, but once you really think about it and calculate a few numbers, there’s too much of an edge against you, so stay far away from it.

4.  Play against as few decks as possible.  It’s always at your advantage to do this.

5.  Don’t be greedy. One thing that can destroy you when gambling is greed.  When playing blackjack you should set limits for yourself and set aside a certain amount to gamble and once you’ve lost that, head for the exit.  Don’t get sucked in, thinking that if you play long enough you’ll win back the money you have lost – it never usually works that way.  Think similarly when you’re winning.  If you have won a certain amount and you’re above what you have set aside for the night, simply put it in your pocket and forget it for the rest of the night.  That way, you might surprise yourself in the end.

Hopefully you’ve found these blackjack tips useful. If you haven’t already done it, you should try playing blackjack at your favorite online casino.  Some selections would be Win Blackjack, Vegas Blackjack Rules or Rules of Blackjack.
