Believe or not, man (or woman) does not live by poker alone. Sometimes, a little game of 21 sounds just too good to pass up! And if you’re going to play blackjack, we believe you might as well do it right! With that in mind, we hope you’ll enjoy the following super-terrific, 21-tastic tips for playing better blackjack.
Basic tips for playing winning blackjack:
• Never split 10’s, Jacks, Queens or Kings. Stick with your probable winning hand (and avoid a beating from everyone else sitting at the table).
• Always hit a soft 17 if the dealer is showing a 10. And by soft 17, we mean an Ace and a 6. Things can only get better…probably.
• If the dealer is showing a 10, keep hitting until you reach 17. A pretty obvious tip, but you would be amazed how many people “just have a feeling” that a 15 is going to do the job.
• Never say yes to insurance. Much like renting a car, the insurance is just a waste of money. Only the most skilled card-counters can gain any benefit from the act.
• Always split 7’s and 8’s. When you are dealt a pair you are given the option of splitting them into two separate hands (with two separate bets). Doing this with 7’s and 8’s gives you a chance to turn one crappy hand into two good ones!
• Always tip your dealer after a winning hand. There’s no mathematical formula behind this one, just good karma! And after all, these guys really don’t make much money, and they have to put up with people like YOU all day long.
• If you feel uncomfortable, get up and leave. If you start to register heavy losses at a table, or are seated around people who are throwing off your game, get up, take a break, walk around, and find another table. A clear head will help you make better decisions…and it just feels right to start anew.
