Blackjack Myths

One of the misconceptions many blackjack players have is that the manner a gambler plays affects his advantage. If the player is not playing well it will reduce their advantage. However, this is false. This is because third bases players at times can also make every player to lose as well as making them win.

When the house has rules that are identical, games with the minimum deck numbers favour players more than games with many deck numbers. The reason for this is because the player will be dealt with more blackjacks. They will also win when they double down. Casinos are aware of this and they therefore put strict rules on their table with smallest deck number in order to eliminate this advantage.

It is better to start playing blackjack when the cards have been used in the game. This is because at the beginning the casinos have not properly shuffled the cards. When the cards have been used in the game for sometimes, it would have been shuffled for some time and the cards are properly separately. If you start your game when the cards have not been in used, then it will be to your disadvantage. This is because at this time the order of the cards have not been scattered, so there will be clumps of cards with numerical value of 10.

If you are tipping make sure that you do not over do that because with a good strategy you have an advantage over the house by 1% or 2%. But when you over tip, it blocks your chances of making more money.

How to apply counting strategies

If you want to apply the card counting strategy, then you have to play when the number of players at the table is small. This will give you the opportunity of playing more in times of high counts. Some players even brightens their chances more at the time of high counts by playing multiple hands and them playing one hand during low count. This makes it possible for them to play more hands when the game is their favour.

If you applying card counting strategies, then you should not stake on insurance. Some players wager on insurance if they are dealt with a blackjack or any other favourable hands. However, bet on insurance is best made if you have a hand that has no card that has the value of 10. This is because it may be the only card with the value of 10. But you should opt for insurance bet when you are sure that more than three quarter of the cards remaining has the value of 10.
