Blackjack Strategy

[gemba]

I am sorry but I have lost the site that I got this from but the strategy seems to work. I play single hand blackjack most of the time.

If you are on a streak and then push twice in a row. Get out of the casino, you will lose.

If you have a ridiculous hand like 5 9 or 6 9 and the dealer shows any of those cards, stand and 80% of the time the dealer will have the same value as you and bust.

Never get insurance unless you are on a streak!

Never hit 12 or 13, with the dealer showing the same!

Good Luck!

Thanks but that's the Basic Strategy in blackjack, except for your "streak" theories.

Actually, its not even basic strategy. It's much worse.

>>> Never hit 12 or 13, with the dealer showing the same!

Uhh, statistically speaking, you hit 12 against a 2 or 3.

If you push twice in a row, leave? !! Hmmm. What if it's the second Tuesday of the month and you are wearing red? Always double your bet every third hand. By the way, that was sarcasm, in case you missed it.

Never get insurance - EVER (regardless of being on a streak). The same goes for taking even money.

Casinos must LOVE you.

 

Blackjack strategy for beginners, and this one works.

1. Learn Basic Strategy. FYI, Basic Strategy for one deck is different than for 6 deck
2. Before heading to table, decide what is your bankroll for that day (=what you are ready to lose)
3. Sit down, and bet half of your bankroll. Other half will be used if you have a chance to double.
4. If you win your first bet, leave the damn table. If you lose your first bet, bet half of it again.
5. Follow this strategy until you are up from your starting bankroll or lost whole bankroll.

That's it

BromoX,

Actually, if you ask my current casino they are not to happy with me. Tell me when was the last time you turned 300 into 4000 in two days?

That was the strategy I used while doing it. Online Casinos are made with randomizations yet many things occured during the process of winning. The software almost became predictable!

Good Luck To All!

I can GUARANTEE you I have played more hands of blackjack at 32 years old than you will probably EVER play in your life. And that is NOT a thing I'm proud of, by the way.

And yes, I have turned that profit MANY times over. I have also once turned $150 into $25,500 and a week later turned $300 into $15,000. Surprisingly, in both situations, the majority of those runs were made by roulette however.

And yes, the casinos ARE happy with you. You are only too dumb to realize that. They're happy you see you win at first. That only means you'll lose every last dime chasing it by playing very poor strategy.

Look at ANY basic strategy card. You hit 12 against a 2 or 3. Anyone can tell you that. And pushing tiwce, or even ten times, in a row has absolutely nothing to do with the next cards coming. Odds for the game are still the same. From a technical counting standpoint - whihc I'm sure you don't do or you would at least know basic strategy - I guess pushing natural 20's on a single deck game MIGHT indicate a deck that is NOT ten rich, thus your odds are slightly less to win. But even that is a stretch.

So you get insurance when you are on a streak? lol. You cost yourself every time you do it. And I would lay 10-1 that you take even money when offered. It's sure money, right? Sure money you will lose longterm anyway.

The ONLY advice you gave worth repeating (that anyone who plays blackjack already knows) is to stay on a 15 or 16 against a bust card. Wow. Thanks for the tip.

How the hell do you have almost 800 posts? Now I know I shouldn't assume some betting prowess simply based on the number of posts a person has, but you'd think you would have picked up something useful along the way.

By the way, I once turned about $750 into $29,500 at WSEX in a day, with a $500 max per hand. I lost way too much of it back before cashing out, but your "great feat" isn't that out of the ordinary.

I can also guarantee you are a lifetime loser at blackjack. (as am I and anyone else that plays it for long). But I'll bet I lose less of a % per hour than you - BY A LONG SHOT.

BromoX,

I use the basic strategy cards, I am saying I disagree with the strategy cards on the 2 and 3 scenario. I know what they say but my experience says if I have 12 or 13 and the dealer shows 2 or 3, one of us is destined to get that 10 to bust us. So, I let the dealer bust and give me the chance to win. I am saying that this worked for me.

And I was pointing out things I saw during the streak and past streaks!

 

[BROMOx]

You disagree with the strategy cards???

It's better to be thought an idiot than to open your mouth and prove it.

I don't mean to sound so harsh, but come on. Thse strategy cards weren't built by hunches or based on experience. They are based on solid STATISTICAL FACT. You really CAN'T disagree with them. That's like saying you think the world is flat. You understand what the books say, but in your experience, it seems like the world must be that way.

How can we even have a discussion about this if I can't even rely on FACTS to base my arguments on?

 

[gemba]

Gambling is all about luck. Anyone knows that experience and luck can both beat a strategy card. Call me an idiot all you want, this strategy works for me both online and in casinos. I understand that I press my luck going with the smaller percentage but it works.

Good Luck to all!

You may win for a day, a week, or even a few months, but in the end, the strategy card will ALWAYS win. No amount of luck or experinece will overcome statistics long term. PERIOD.

Knowing proper strategy will keep your longterm losses to a minimum, but how you play, you are destined to be a big time loser over the long haul. Luck won't save you.

In the long run, math always wins out.
