Real Blackjack Card Counting

Blackjack can be tackled with an array of styles and strategies, ranging from casual logic, to basic strategic rules and hardcore card counting. Take a look a some of the different approaches to online blackjack……….

Basic blackjack strategy
Most people know that blackjack can be a high level strategy game – unfortunately most recreational players choose to play with zero strategy (simply trying to get a good score close to 21, then standing – plus randomly placing the split and double). However, this method of gaming has no statistical influence – you need to play basic strategy to reduce to dealer's advantage to less than 1% (giving you a much better chance of regularly winning). Check out some classic basic strategy moves:
> Hit up to 17 and over or soft 18, when the dealer card is 7+ > If the casino dealer holds 6<, hit until you're at 12+ > Double-down on 10 or 11 if the house scores a 9< > Split aces and 8's but play other hands through
Mastered the rules above? Then get hold of a full basic blackjack strategy chart and get on your way to intermediate skill gaming.

Casual Card Counting
Card counting is a very serious blackjack skill, but even casual gamers can have a go at using the concept to boost their fun, just for interest and even to potentially boost success at the table. The basis of card counting is based on high and low cards, with influence whether the pack favours the dealer or blackjack player. In essence, a high rich pack is beneficial to the player, and vice versa (high cards are more likely to make the dealer bust). Here's how to casually card count next time you play online blackjack:
&#61548; Observe the flow of the blackjack cards (i.e. is it heavy in low value or high value cards)
&#61548; Make you blackjack moves based on your casual observations
With time you should be able to integrate casual card counting with a basic blackjack strategy, or find you own ways of potentially making the count pay. Note: many casual card counting experts suggest that +5 low:high cards on the table indicate an edge to the player, and vice versa.

Real card counting
Genuine card counting is much more precise than the casual count, with specific systems and values for each card (not to mention instructions for wagering). Check out the scoring system of the Hi Opt I Card Counting Strategy:
&#61548; 3, 4, 5, 6: +1
&#61548; 10, Jack, King, Queen: -1
&#61548; 2, 7, 8, 9, Aces: 0
The Hi-Opt I system can also be implemented with a side-count of Aces to determine if the pack is rich or poor in Aces:
If ¼ pack has been dealt with no Aces, add +1
If 2 Aces have been dealt, -1
High level card counting should only really be approached once you've mastered high speed basic blackjack strategy. However, if you're serious about hardcore casino gambling, it's one of the best options you can start learning.

The Player’s Choices; BlackJack

We start with one of the least common decisions, but it is appropriate to begin with surrender, because this decision must be made before any other choice about playing your hand. Not every game offers surrender, and those that do fall into two categories which bear expanation: Early vs Late.
Surrender offers you as a player the choice to fold your hand, at the cost of half of the original bet. You must make that decision prior to taking any other action on the hand. For example, once you draw a third card, or split, or double down, surrender is no longer an option.
The two varieties of surrender, early and late, differ only in the way a dealer blackjack is handled. In an early surrender game, a player may choose to surrender before the dealer checks his cards for a blackjack, offering a cheap way out even if the dealer turns out to have a blackjack. Because this offers a healthy advantage to the player, this version (early surrender) is rarely offered. The much more common variation is late surrender, where the dealer checks for blackjack first, and then only if he does not have blackjack will allow players to surrender their hands.
Surrender is a nice rule to have available for players who use it wisely. Unfortunately, many players surrender far too many hands. If you play in a game with surrender, use the Strategy Engine to determine when surrender is the appropriate play. To see how bad a hand must be to properly be surrendered, consider the following: To lose less with surrender, you must be only 25% likely to win the hand (ignoring pushes). That is, if you lose 75% of the time, and win only 25% of the time, your net loss is about 50% of your bets, equal to the amount you’ll lose guaranteed by surrendering. So, learn to use the surrender option, but make sure you know when it is appropriate.
It’s worth mentioning again that the vast majority of surrender is LATE surrender, after the dealer checks for BJ. Make sure you choose the right option over on the Strategy Engine. And if you do find a game that offers early surrender, drop me a note. Good opportunities like that are rare.

What is a Blackjack, or a natural?

A blackjack, or natural, is a total of 21 in your first two cards. A blackjack is therefore an Ace and any ten-valued card, with the additional requirement that these be your first two cards. If you split a pair of Aces for example, and then draw a ten-valued card on one of the Aces, this is not a blackjack, but rather a total of 21. The distinction is important, because a winning blackjack pays the player odds of 3 to 2. A bet of $10 wins $15 if the player makes a blackjack. A player blackjack beats any dealer total other than a dealer’s blackjack, including a dealer’s regular 21. If both a player and the dealer make blackjack, the hand is a tie or push.

The dealer will usually pay your winning blackjack bet immediately when it is your turn to play. In the face down games, this means that you should show the blackjack to the dealer at that time. Some casinos may postpone paying the blackjack until after the hand is over if the dealer has a 10 card up and has not checked for a dealer blackjack. Other casinos check under both 10 and Ace dealer upcards, and would therefore pay the blackjack immediately. Regardless, when you are dealt a blackjack, turn the cards face up, and smile. It only happens about once every 21 hands, but it accounts for a lot of the fun of the game.
