Blackjack Strategies
Blackjack Strategies Unlike some casino games (like Roulette), Blackjack involves an element of skill. And like all games where skill is required, skill’s close companion, strategy, follows. It is thought that if you play with no strategy the house will have an advantage of as much as 6-10%. A good strategy can reduce this to as little as under 1%. To have a good strategy, one must be aware of a number of things:
The dealer always
The dealer always has the edge because the online players go first. This means that when a holdem player busts they lose immediately even if the dealer goes on to bust later in the game The way to win is to get a better hand than the dealer. The object is to beat the dealer’s hand and, ideally, as close to 21 as possible. There are two ways to win. You can hold a higher hand than the dealer OR you can stand when you believe it is likely for the dealer to bust Dealer’s Face-up Card. Notice that the dealer has a higher chance of busting when his face-up card is 6 or less than if it is 7 or more.
