    The key to Blackjack in my opinion is to keep your cards on the table. In other words, play light. Dealer has 8 showing let's say. You have 16. STAY, don't hit. Remember, you have 100% more chance of winning the hand if your cards are on the table. You have 0% chance of winning if you bust. My take.

    Bad Strategies



    Three popular bad strategies encountered at the blackjack table are: never bust, mimic the dealer, and always assume the dealer has a ten in the hole. All three are very bad strategies. Following are my specific comments on each of them, including the house edge under Atlantic City rules (dealer stands on soft 17, split up to 4 hands, double after split, double any two cards) of 0.43%.

    Never bust: For my analysis of this strategy I assumed the player would never hit a hard 12 or more. All other decisions were according to correct basic strategy. This "never bust" strategy results in a house edge of 3.91%.

    Mimic the dealer: For my analysis of this strategy I assumed the player would always hit 16 or less and stand on17 or more, including a soft 17. The player never doubled or split, since the dealer is not allowed to do so. This "mimic the dealer" strategy results in a house edge of 5.48%.

    Assume a ten in the hole: For this strategy I first figured out the optimal basic strategy under this assumption. If the dealer had an ace up, then I reverted to proper basic strategy, because the dealer would have peeked for blackjack, making a 10 impossible. This "assume a ten" strategy results in a house edge of 10.03%.

    Riding Trends

    Every baccarat table will have plenty of score cards and pencils for the players to keep track of the outcome of every hand. Most players will do so religiously and carefully analyze their card for trends as the winning hand switches back and forth from the banker to the player. This is a big waste of time! The smart player will bet on the banker every time and leave the score cards alone.

    Do you realize by doing this, you give the house an almost 4% edge? Has that sunk in? In other words, you've decided for some unknown reason to give the house a bigger edge at beating you?

    The Key To BlackJack is...

    Double Downs and Splits. If You win them, You have a chance, if You Lose them, you're toast.

    Sounds obvious, but we tend to think of Double Downs as our chance to win money, when it's probably more of a chance to lose money. And splits, How often do you get two good split hands? Two Aces, if you get two 10's the stars were aligned right.

    More often than not you get two shit cards, and lose both hands.

    And another fairly good key to blackjack is if you have a winning session, dont go back in for a while, youll give it right back and lose more than you started with.

    Blackjack is really a timing game. Win while you can and know when the hell to get out, it's sometimes very difficult to walk away a winner.

    following that logic you would not hit a 12 against a dealers face card.


    I play lots of black jack,
    at mandalay bay,
    $25 table or $100 table and I can tell you that is the worst strategy I have ever heard

    Also, baccarat's edge can't be reduced by player skill. If you learn to count cards, and other tricks you can very well be playing BJ close to even and maybe even on the + side.

    They dont build casinos to give you money...use your brain

    If you want to work your ass off counting cards you can maybe get the odds down to EVEN but who gives a ****, you still are just 50/50 to win or lose and you're not having any fun and just leave with a headache dead even on average

    How about Carribean Stud Poker? At least it's a very fun game. House edge probably 94-96% payback.

    This guy JJ is such a clown.. I dont know anything about him but I watched his 27k video.. you should be ashamed of yourself man.. " do this and you will be like me" wtf .. who says that? No one would ever want to be like you.. You sound like an idiot when you speak, saying things like " I act proffessional" and then spilling 10 mother fukers out of your stupid mouth a second later.. You are far from professional and no one would ever wish to be like.. even more now that you're going to lose 27k... what proffesional needs a payment plan for 27k?? You're telling me that 27k has the type of implications on your life that it would change so drastically? You're a sad man!!!
