Odds on Video Blackjack
August 22, 2008
One major concern when people go to the casino or when they play online is that the odds are going to be different than if they are playing table blackjack with real cards in front of them. However, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. If you are in Las Vegas, then it’s Nevada law, as well as most of the United States, that video representations of cards need to follow the exact odds that a real game with a human dealer would have. The cards also need to come out in a completely...

Blackjack Playing Advice
July 21, 2008
The Rules Blackjack can be played with one to eight ordinary decks of cards. Cards of rank 2 through 10 are scored according to their face value. All face cards are 10 points. Aces are semi-wild and can be worth either 1 or 11 points. The highest hand in blackjack is an ace and any 10-point card and is called a blackjack. A winning blackjack pays 3:2. If both player and dealer have a blackjack the bet is a push....
Blackjack Playing Tips
July 21, 2008
Keep your emotions under control. The dealer is only the messenger of fate. Don’t take you’re losses out on him.o Always remember you can win. You didn’t bring $100 to a casino to play with and lose. If you are losing at a particular table, set a three-losses-and-you-move routine. o Focus on the dealer and his up card, not your neighbor’s cards. If other players at the table are upsetting you with their playing ...

I cannot think of another pursuit where similar discrimination is enforced. A card counter keeps mental track of the cards that have been dealt in order to assess the collective value of the cards remaining in an effort to...
