For A Sure Blackjack Win

There are certain rules to follow for a sure blackjack win. Being one of the simplest games, it's one of the best chances a gambler has for winning in a casino. If the rules below are observed, blackjack can become a gambler's best friend.

Counting on chance too much won't make for a blackjack win. A little luck, though, won't hurt. But bear in mind that blackjack is adding up numbers, and that means we have to deal with real Mathematics. It's adding up numbers accurately and fast. Second, it also has lots to do with smart hunches---those based not just on luck but on what the eyes see and what the mind remembers.

Know basic blackjack winning techniques and learn them perfectly. When faced with a dealer's 9, for instance, think twice before you split with 9, 9. Or, dare you play hit when you have a 17 when the dealer's face up card says 10? And be careful before you decide on a double down. Think twice if you have an A8 and the dealer's got an A. When the eyes see these things and the mind remembers the cards that have been out so far, then smart hunches come into play. Smart hunch plus smart Mathematics equals increased chances for a blackjack win.

And this brings us with the hard fact of who's really our competition---it's the casino, actually, not just other players or the dealer. Let's say, for instance, all players bust, including Mr. Dealer. That still makes the house a blackjack winner because all losing bets are raked into the casino treasury. It just looks the dealer lost, but actually he's just a dummy player there. He never loses because he's part of the casino. Understand that well. So be smart with blackjack strategizing and betting.

Remember, too, that there are some "privileges" to enjoy in casino blackjack. Make sure to make full use of them. To mention some, getting 21 with the first two cards pays high---often, casinos pay a ratio of 1:5. Now if the house gets a 21 with the first two cards (which is called a "natural") the dealer rakes in only a blackjack win of 1:1. Better to have it this way than to have losing cards after a double down or a split.

Blackjack can be an easy winning game if we just understand that it is a game of smart hunches coupled with an accurate and fast Mathematical ability.
