Blackjack Tips
Blackjack is a game that casinos love because it looks easy, but in fact requires correct strategy to play and win. Fortunately for the player, it's not hard to find out and play correct blackjack strategy. Your success in blackjack should increase tremendously if you follow a few basic tips.
Blackjack Tip No. 1: Learn Basic Strategy
You can get a basic strategy chart for blackjack online, right here at CasinoToplists, or you can find one in blackjack books. Get it, learn it, know it. If you can't remember all the details, print out a copy of the chart and take it with you whenever you go to play. This is completely legal and will not generate any heat from casino personnel. If you're playing blackjack online, keep the chart open in another window.
Blackjack Tip No. 2: Know Your Bankroll
Even if you're playing correctly, the House has a slight edge. Furthermore, short-term swings can make it seem like the odds are much more against you. Play with a large bankroll, relative to the limit you have chosen. Give the odds a chance to swing back and get you even or even ahead.
Blackjack Tip No. 3: Never Take Insurance
At 2-to-1 on a 2.2-to-1 or worse proposition, insurance, a bet that the dealer will have blackjack, is just giving away money. Even insuring a blackjack by taking "even money," is a bad bet. Try to think of your blackjack session in terms of your odds over all the hands you will play, not what will happen on any individual hand.
