Blackjack Warning
Maybe by now you consider yourself a true blackjack player. As a precaution let me tell you some secrets in order to demystify the "blackjack madness" when seated against those blackjack hustlers.
Listed below are some blackjack strategies and blackjack switch techniques, which you could apply in virtual and real-life blackjack or in any situations.
Remain calm in the face of stupidity…
After playing several blackjack games you could rank yourself against other players. So when you encounter someone who has an odd blackjack strategy don't get upset or too complacent. Maybe that player has a photographic memory or a fast "card counter." Remember that it's all about luck … He might win with jack and ace on the first round; however, you might get three 7's on the second.
Take a strong move …
Afraid to be busted? Don't be! You might get a total card value of 21 - blackjack my friend. Forget the last time you hit a 16 and lost. Think positively - next time would be better. Remember those who are scared to take risk; risked their winning chances.
Think Positively …
Despite its lack of mathematical or scientific effect, this one applies in every aspect of life - including blackjack. Do this and use your blackjack skills well. When in doubt, just don't play.
Stay away from "bad" tables
Many players like to play on a losing table hoping turning it around. Suggestion: If you still unlucky why not transfer to a new table? Perhaps things will be better there… One can hope.
Side Betting …
Most casinos offer side bets, which you should or not take … (below are some example)
5 cards 21 - Pays 2 to 1 if the player gets 5 cards equal to 21
21 plus 3 - here the player gambles that his two initial cards along with the dealer's up-card will either form a flush, straight, straight flush or three of a kind. Pays 9 to 1.
Super 7's - the payoff is 3 to1 if you received a 7, 50 to 1 if you have 2 7's and 500 to 1 if you hit another 7.This blackjack side-betting is believed to be the most tempting of all. However, you must remember that most casinos could earn as much as 11% over their gamblers. So you decide …
Finally, the best advice I could give you is to close the leaks of your wallet. Blackjack is something that should entertain you not stress you out.
