Blackjack
The basic blackjack strategy is the simplest path into considerably
increasing your playing odds while playing online blackjack. Each game
combination will have a somewhat different blackjack strategy table
and I have offered some common variations on this website which will
offer a winning blackjack strategy for most online casinos. On the other
hand, it's not simple to remember the slight differences between each
blackjack strategy table, so if you choose to use one blackjack strategy
table use the one below. This table can also be used at land based casinos
just as successfully.
The table looks more complicated than it is, the top row of numbers
is the dealer's face card, and the numbers on the left hand column are
your initial cards. Some combinations are missing as they have obvious
solutions, such as blackjack, your going to stand, and low value combinations
you are going to hit. So if you are dealt a sum of 15 and the dealer
has a 10 showing, then you would hit.
