Basic Blackjack Tips
Working in the casino industry for 9 years, first as a dealer, and then as a pit boss has taught me many things. Two useful tips are:
1)Consistency is KEY
2)If you get greedy, you?re going to get careless
To start with, you CAN beat the house, which brings me to the first point.
In a game like Blackjack, being consistent in the way you play is the key factor to winning on a regular basis. For example, if you split Aces, ALWAYS split Aces. If you hit 16?s, do it EVERY time. You won?t win every hand, mind you, but it will help the flow of the cards, and if you?ve been staying on your 16?s for an hour and then suddenly decide to hit, and the dealer makes their hand, the other players will be less than thrilled because, chances are, they played their hands on the assumption that you were going to stay on 16. It?s been my experience that a good, consistent game will result in a good shoe. This holds true for online blackjack as well, whether you?re playing by yourself, or against a computer.
My next point is:
If you get greedy, you?re going to get careless. I?ve seen it so many times. A player starts to lose, so he starts playing inconsistently. For example, taking a card when he doesn?t normally, splitting 10?s or ?surrendering? on a card total of 12. You?re probably thinking ?Who would do that?? Well I?ve seen it done at least once a day at the casino. This is the surefire way to LOSE YOUR SHIRT.
I?ve recently become an affiliate for Windows Casino, since I have experience in the gaming industry, and I have to say Windows Casino is the best ?bang for your buck.? When you download their software to play the games, they give you $1000 free to start with. It is very nice software, easy to use, and I found it better than most online sites I?ve played at in the past.
In the future I?ll be posting more articles about the different games that are fun and have the best odds. So stay tuned!
