Basics of Blackjack
In a game of Blackjack, there are usually five to seven players on the blackjack table. A blackjack dealer is also present to distribute the cards and play against the other players. The blackjack table is where the games are played. It can be kidney shaped but in most casinos, blackjack tables are semi-circle. Each blackjack player is seated on different circles along the blackjack table. When the blackjack player sits on the table, chips must be bought from the blackjack dealer before the game can proceed. The blackjack player can only place his wager on his space on his semi-circle. Only bets inside the betting circle are counted. To win, the player must be close to a total of 21 (add the values of the cards) and have a value of the cards higher than that of the dealer. Face cards are worth ten points and the others follow their numerical values. Aces are worth either one or eleven, at the decision of the player. To have a “blackjack”, the player must have a total of 21 in the first two cards dealt. A bonus is usually given in circumstances when a player receives a Blackjack and the player gets paid immediately. But if the dealer also has a Blackjack, no one gets paid. If you are confident about your cards, a mid-game increasing of bets is allowed in Blackjack. This is called a double down. A double down happens when you bet the same amount that you did in the first bet. Most casinos allow this provided you agree to receive one more card. Telling the dealer you want to double down is achieved by sliding a second bet beside your original bet. Never rest your second bet on top of the original one as this insinuates cheating by increasing your original bet illegally. The Blackjack dealer will give you an additional card. Wait until all cards are laid before you open your last card. If you win, you will be paid for the two bets. Splitting is another way of increasing your bet mid-game in Blackjack, but unlike in double down, you only get paid for a single bet. Splitting only happens if the player is dealt with pair cards like nine diamond and nine clubs. In this case, you can then split your cards to give you 2 separate cards to play and another bet alongside the second card. The original bet goes with the first card and the second bet goes to the second card. In Online Blackjack, a pair is split by pointing at them (if dealt face up) and saying “split”. If dealt face down, turn them up and put them apart on the table. After splitting, the dealer will give cards to your first card and wait for you to decide to stand. The dealer will not deal cards for your second hand until you decide to stand on the first card. Whichever sets of card is closest to 21 wins the pot. Splitting rules vary in one casino to another so better ask your dealer of the casino policy if you’re unsure.

Only way to win at online blackjack, is by chasing the bonus
Only way to win at online blackjack, is by chasing the bonus I got into an email fight with Ray because he said the only way to win at online blackjack was by becoming a slave to the best bonus and continually chasing down the bonus, then moving onto the next casino site. Actually slave is a politer term compared to what he used. I disagree, you can use your skill to lower the house edge against you. Take on the house and beat that dealer! A good bonus always helps and it helps to shop around, keeping the online casinos on their toes. But that doesnt mean that you have to ruin your online gambling experience by continually site hopping. You can develop and master your blackjack strategy until you become a pro. Them nasty casinos that take all our money, gonna be shaking in there boots! You showem.

If youve never played blackjack before there should be a tutorial on the site, or you can find a basic tutorial elsewhere online. Playing Blackjack Online To be successful at online blackjack, youre going to want to use what is known as basic strategy. Basic strategy is a chart of moves that tells you what the highest value action is for any situation. Playing according to basic strategy can reduce the House edge to one or two percentage points, while playing according to hunches can give the house a massive advantage.Since youre just starting out, youll want to find an online basic strategy chart and keep it open at all times. You may want to do this even after you become experienced just to be sure not to make any mistakes. Dont get discouraged if you dont rack up massive wins right away. Although most players lose over the long term, things should come pretty close to evening out over time if you play correctly. Online Blackjack Warning Remember to protect your bankroll and only risk an amount you can comfortably afford to lose in each session. This will enhance your enjoyment of the game and make sure it does not cause you any undue stress.
