Making Sure You Win at Blackjack
Learn how to ensure that you win - and not lose - when you play
blackjack.
When you want to make sure you win in poker tables, not only
should you play for luck, you should practice and practice your
poker face and poker skills as well. Hard work, isn't it? On the
other hand, while other forms of gambling such as the roulette
or the slot machine do not require you to exert much mental
effort when it comes to playing, they offer you lesser chances
of winning.
Hence, if you don't want to prevent yourself from losing money
when gambling, the best option is to play blackjack.
If you haven't ever played blackjack yet, the rules are similar
to playing Lucky 9. In Lucky 9, your cards must reach 9 or the
value nearest to it. Any cards beyond 9 are busted and players
with cards totaling more than 9 must declare this round a loss.
The same thing applies to blackjack but this time, you should
aim for 21 instead of 9. While in Lucky 9, you're only allowed
to draw up to three cards, in blackjack, you can draw up to a
whopping five cards.
Tips to Win at Blackjack Now that we've refreshed your memory on
how to play blackjack, let's proceed to tips that will help you
win big at blackjack.
Soft and Hard Hands If you're still unfamiliar with blackjack
lingo, understand that a soft hand is the term used to describe
cards that contain an ace and a number card such as a six and
then using the ace as eleven to reach a total amount of 17. On
the other hand, a hard hand would compromise cards that do not
contain any aces or cards that have an ace but don't give it an
equivalent value of eleven.
Some people say that it's always better to have a hard hand
rather than a soft one.
Choosing Tables Yes, the right table can have a good effect on
your success rate in blackjack so choose carefully. First and
foremost, make sure that the minimum allowed bet is not more
than five percent of your total chips. Get to know rules
variation for each table because these can affect your chances
as well, no matter how slight.
Insurance And lastly, try to avoid taking insurance at all costs
or at least only when it's your last resort. No matter how
friendly he seems, dealer can be your worst enemy in blackjack.
So taking insurance can be betting for your nemesis and
sometimes against yourself..
Everything clear now? That's good. Start gambling and winning
some of that money then.
