    When you get a blackjack, you get paid 4-1. A blackjack is an Ace and 10 (or above) as your 2 cards.

    look here for basic strategy on how to play. With 4-1 payouts on blackjack our odds are very good.

    get the little pocket card with all the plays to make based on your holdings and the dealers', as well...... most all of them have the same moves, and are generally accepted to be the correct mathmatical plays.......

    As i am also ignorant of blackjack rules, i believe Sinmiedo will allow me to hijack his thread...

    I can find 3 versions on SBR Casino and none of those says 4 to 1 BJ. I see a 4 deck, a single deck and a single hand. Wich BJ version will be used for the triathlon?

    And how does the BJ tourney works? We have 1 hour to play? Wins the one who makes the most plays or the one who makes most money? Is there a minimum number of hands to qualify? What is the bet value? What if i dont have the points to play?

    Maybe it's me...but when I have played BJ in the casino I tend to always bust with a 16. I know most strategy cards say to hit, but if you start busting on 16 you may want to stand pat.

    Again, is on less than 500 hands of black jack.

    you should stand on 16 only when the dealer is likely to bust you will mostly bust when you have 16 it is a bad position to be in but if the dealer is showing strong you have to choose the lesser of two bad choices and hit.

    • 4 to 1 Blackjack: The final event for all Tri-gamblers will be a 4 to 1, one-hour single-deck Blackjack contest on Sunday, April 13 at 5PM ET. Min bet 1, max bet 1.


    4 to 1 Blackjack is a special promotion, so it's only available during above time.

    Just try to win many points as you can. After one hour, top 100 will get "Tri points". The distribution of "Tri points" for the BJ tourney is in this thread: http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/players-ta...-up-grabs.html

    You don't have to participate in the BJ tourney. If you don't play, then you will just get 0 "Tri points". And, there isn't a minimum number of hands to qualify.
