For centuries, the strategic potential of blackjack has defied the chances and reduced the house edge to the point of complete elimination. The advanced card counting strategies were fought off by the casino operators through a gradual increase of the card decks inside the shoe. Want to beat blackjack? It all starts with learning how to play. In this video, professional Blackjack players Colin Jones and 'Loudon Ofton' break down the. The more you study particular games and learn to apply basic blackjack 21 strategy, the more you just might find yourself beating the house and winning more cash. All it takes is some skilled play, combined with a bit of timely luck on your side after you master the blackjack basics. To use the basic strategy, look up your hand along the left vertical edge and the dealer's up card along the top. In both cases an A stands for ace. From top to bottom are the hard totals, soft totals, and splittable hands. There are two charts depending on whether the dealer hits or stands on soft 17.

Practice is the key to success in all fields. Several students that I have trained to become professional players all used this practice method. It simulates game-like conditions. First copy or purchase the basic strategy chart found above and keep it by your side. Click on the link to go to 888Casino. Click free download. A page of standard regulations will appear. Read and click agree. Choose a currency. You will receive a user name and password. Save them. This all should take a minute or two.Now click on play for free. That's it. You can practice all you want at no cost. Go at the speed you are comfortable with. Leave and return whenever you desire.

Test yourself. Play 20 hands without looking at the chart. Click on history and the hands you just played will appear in a neat column. Go down the column while checking it against the chart. Not only are you learning but is great fun at no cost.

The above basic strategy is generic and serves me well for all games. The gain from learning a slightly different strategy for single and multi-deck is so minimal that it is not worth the effort.
That said I offer the following:

If Surrender is available:
Sr 16 vs dealer 9'10'A
Sr 15 vs dealer 10
If DAS, double after splitting, is not permitted:
do not split 6,6 vs dealer 2
do not split 4,4 vs dealer 5 or 6
do not split 3,3 vs dealer 2 or 3
do not split 2,2 vs dealer 2 or 3
What are you doing playing a game that does not allow DAS anyway?
In a single deck game
stand on 7,7 vs dealer 10
and stand if you draw out 4,5,6 to a dealer 10
The above should be obvious in that you have used up the cards that could help you. You are in a bad situation and it is best to hope for the dealer to bust.

Well now that you have seen basic strategy it is important to learn it. To learn anything it is easier if you understand it and believe in it. I don't want to go too deep into the details but the following explaination may help you see some of the reasons for the above basic stratgey chart.

Players have the most trouble with the A, 7 vs dealer 9, 10, A.

An 18 appears to be a pretty good hand and many people are reluctant to hit it. They reason why possibly ruin a good hand. The answer is that it is not a good hand against those dealer cards.
Look at a dealer 9. There are 13 possible cards under that 9. The ace gives the dealer a 20 and four chances for a 10 gives the dealer a 19. So right at the start you have lost five times. A 9 gives you a push and only an 8 a win. So with seven possible cards you have five losses, one tie and one win.
It gets more complicated now. If the under card is a 2 the dealer has an 11 with four chances of drawing a 10, one chance each at a 9 and 8 which beat your 18. In short the dealer will make good hands on about half of his draws resulting in the player losing 7.5 times, pushing once and winning only 3.5 times.

Now let's hit your A, 7 as basic strategy requires. An ace, 2 or 3 improves your hand and a 10 leaves it the same. If you draw a 6 for example and make a 14 you can hit again. You will make a good hand on about half of those draws. In summary look at the following table.

If you fail to hit A,7 vs dealer 9 your loss is
If you fail to hit A,7 vs dealer 10 your loss is
