Blackjack is one of the most widely played casino games, thanks to the internet. But where to find quality live online blackjack games? Read on for some tips on How to Play Blackjack Casino profitably.
You should always start with at least a Basic Strategy hand in place prior to sitting down at a live blackjack table. Basic Strategy is a mathematically proven system which tells you the best moves to make in regards to your cards in the game. While you can make your own strategy, it is always easier if you have a consistent way to approach the game. Read below for a quick example on one of the strategies employed during blackjack.
- Basic Strategy Situation: You are playing in a $5/$1 blackjack game and the minimum buy-in is $50. There are 4 players at the table and the dealer is showing a 6 or 7 against certain players.
You know the pokerbo has to have a 10 in order to beat you, and you believe you have the best hand. You bet $10, and the players in the $5/$1 game all put in a $5 stack. You are the last to act, so you make a $5 bet. All players know you are looking to hit 21 or “Blackjack” as it is called.
The dealer deals your cards and you have to have an Ace and a King in your hand in order to qualify. You currently have a King and an Ace, therefore you qualify. You now have $50 in your pocket.
You must keep in mind that it doesn’t matter what cards you get dealt, whether they are face cards or even numbered cards, everything will count towards the hand that you have.
- When Should I Quit The Game? Now you are time to determine if you should quit the game or not. Always remember that you only need to qualify by having a hand of at least “18” approximately.
If you are in the $5/$1 game and all players start with $5, only one of you needs to have a hand of 18 or more to qualify, the other player does not need to qualify. But lets say both you and another player both have a King card and you both have a King card, but you both have a 8 in the hole, you loose the hand!
- How Much Should I Bet Each Game?The $5/$1 game is a great game to play. You can easily reach $100 in a few hours playing at least one game every night. The trick is to make sure that you actually play a game a night. You need to set aside a game for at least the nights you are going to play.
Set an alarm on your phone, or set a time limit for yourself, and stop playing when you have completed the specified amount of time.
Set a075 beat counter for yourself, and every night after work. You will want to count the cards when you have time to do so. You can make an excel spreadsheet for your numbers, but the best time to do this is not while the cards are still in your hand, but about 15 minutes to get a rough idea of your number of outs. You need to look at your previous 16 draws, and add up all the totals. This should give you a rough, general idea of the number of outs you have. You will know it is a good bet when you at least double the money you put in. But, if you lose twice, you want to quit before you mess around with both sets of cards.
If you win an additional eight or more cards, leave the game! But, if you lose an additional eight or more, make a half the bets you usually make and call the game again, to give yourself a chance to improve. You never know what hand you are holding until you put it all at risk.
This is a very simplistic strategy, but it works well for the vast majority of hands. When you win, you will be happy for the profit, but when you lose, you will be glad you did so!
