Blackjack Rules

There are three things you must remember in order to increase your odds of winning.

1. Your aim is to get a point value higher than the dealer, not as close to 21. Forgetting this leads many players to bust more than they should.

2. The dealer has no free will and has to follow a set of rules regardless of his position. Even if the dealer has a winning hand with a total of 16 he still has to hit even with the possibility of busting.

3. The dealer has the advantage in that all players go first. If you bust first you lose even if the dealer busts later in the game.

If you want to improve your chances of winning at Blackjack, you should follow a basic strategy. The Blackjack strategy chart below will help you make correct decisions in every possible situation in the game. There are no guarantees to thi strategy, it is a simple basic guide, please bet sensibly.
