How Players May Win Money Playing Blackjack

By Joe Manonn


Blackjack is a pretty easy game. Keep reading to see how player may win money playing blackjack. Each person at a table will be dealt two cards. Then the dealer will deal himself 2 cards. One of his cards will be face up and one face down. The up card and the players cards will be the determining factor on what to do next.

In order to win, the player must get as close to 21 as possible without going over or being beaten by the dealer. If you get a face and an ace, then you get blackjack and you win!

Players must follow the simple basic strategy rules in order to raise the odds enough in their favor to win money in the short term. When the dealer is showing a six or lower as their up card, then the player ought not risk "busting their hand." Always assume the dealer's face down card is a ten. Casino rules state that the dealer must hit up to 17 when they have a total of 16 or less. So unless the player has an 11 or lower, they should not hit and risk getting a ten and going over 21. Let the dealer take that chance and hopefully bust so everyone at the table wins.

If the dealer shows a 7 or higher, just assume the card they are not showing is a ten. In that case, play your cards as if you are trying to beat the dealers assumed total. There is a chance you bust, or go over 21 and loose your bet, but its best to give it a shot. However, never hit anything over a 17, unless it is soft (meaning composed of a six and an ace).

When the dealer shows a face card, they will check their hole card to determine if it is an ace. If it isn't, play continues. If it is, dealer has blackjack and everyone automatically loses.

When the dealer shows an ace, they offer the players insurance. Players should never take insurance as it is a sucker's bet with odds greatly in favor of the casino. The dealer will now look at his down card and determine if they have blackjack. If they don't, play continues. Play as if the up card is a ten, not an ace.

Each casino has their own house rules and some have different side bets players can take a chance on. These are gambles and don't have odds in favor of the player. However its possible to get lucky so some people will choose to take this gamble.

It's important to note that the least amount of decks a card plays with is best for its players. So sit down at a one or two deck game as opposed to a 6 or 7 deck game.
