Blackjack Tips

Before you start to play online Blackjack you might want to check out the Blackjack Tips we will outline here, to help increase your odds of winning. You shouldn’t just go into the casino and start to play Blackjack without knowing a little bit about the game.

Splitting your hand. You shouldn’t ever split your hand if you have two tens, the reason is because you already have a very strong winning hand, why take the chance of losing? One good tip is to always Split your hand if you have Aces or eights, it doesn’t matter what the dealer is showing, splitting these hands will lead to a better overall hand.

Doubling Down is something that you should be aware of, it is when you can double your original bet and only get one more card to make a great hand. You should always double down if you have two cards totaling nine; but only if the dealers card that is facing up is 3, 4, 5, or 6. If you have two cards that total 10 double down if the dealer has anything showing but an Ace or a Ten. If your cards total 11 double down if the dealer has anything showing but an Ace, following these three rules will help you decide when it is a good time to double down or not.

Knowing when to stand is also a crucial bit of information that you should have; it will usually decide how the game comes out for you. You should ALWAYS stand on 17 or higher if the dealers up card is a 7 or lower, a Hard 13-16 is something that you should always stand on if the dealer has a 6 or lower showing but definitely hit if the dealer is showing a 7 through an Ace. If the dealer is showing a 4, 5, or 6 you should stand if you have a hard 12. If you stand on a hand that is valued at under 17, you are basically waiting to see and hoping that the dealer will bust. If you have a soft hand then you should at least go after one hit because you can’t bust from just one hit.

Following some of the following Blackjack Tips when it comes to soft hands and you will come out ahead of the game. If you have a hand of three or more cards that equal 13 through 17 soft, always hit. Most players that you will go up against or run into in the online casinos will stand on any soft 18, this works sometimes but sometimes you should hit. Say if you have a soft 18 and the dealer has a 9, 10, or an Ace you would be better off in the long run hitting that card, there is a better chance you will win. Stand of a soft 18 if the dealer has 2,7 or 8.
