seanwattson Posted January 3, 2020 #1 Posted January 3, 2020 As a big fan of blackjack in real casinos I have grownvdhp up learning all the dog's and don'ts. I will briefly go over just a few to hopefully shed some insight to some of the unseen and unaware. I will list them one by one and if you have a question about them just replay or hell holler at me in chat! 1. Learn and remember Basic Strategy. Do get yourself a basic strategy chart. Start to learn these as fast as you can. 2. Do not count the cards. A) it is against all rules even in a real casino. The way the system works is you add 1 for a face card and -1 for a card with face value. If you get to +3 - +5 it means a low value card should be coming off the boot. If your -3 or lower than you should have a face card coming. Unfortunately here at Stake, our dealer is using an infinite amount of cards so this is really useless. 3. A lot of people don't know this but if you're dealt pair of aces you should automatically split them. Why you ask? Well 1 hand becomes 2. You get 1 card and one card only but the chances of at least on of those cards coming next being a face card is pretty good, there fore getting 21. If not, you are stuck with whatever hand you have. Remember aces can be 1/11 so even if you didn't get a face card more than likely have a good hand. Now to next hand, one card only. Same set up. Didn't know that one did you!? 4. Another one people don't really know is that a pair of 3's should always be split as well. Reason is, most of the cards are what.....? That's right, face cards. 16 is the WORST hand in blackjack. Some casinos allow you to "surrender" which means you can give half of your bet and keep the other half to "fold".; Not that this gives you a better chance in hitting 21 but better chance of not busting, or going over 21. Remember, the name of the game is to get as close to 21 as possible without going over. 5. When to "double down". Double down is like a side bet. You are doubling your bet and saying you want 1 card only and that's it. If you beat the dealer then you have quadrupled your money (sort of). Dealer beats you, all money goes to him. You should double down if dealer is showing a 5 or a 6 and you have 9, 10 or 11. Sometimes I get a little ballsy and double down if i have 11, and they have a 3 or 4 but is not recommended. 6. Last but not least. Always hit on 16. I know, I know, you're like Sean!, but he only has 7. Well, trust me on this. They have done the math and it is mathematically proven then more times than not to go in your favor. The only time I wouldn't recommend this, is the dealer is showing a 5 or 6 also. Pretty much if dealer has 7-Face Card, hit it. Where do you think the dealer gets his advantage. Well, mostly because the bettor goes first but the dealer HAS to hit on anything below 17. Remember for us we need to get as close as possible. Well I hope this answered some of your questions! This took a lot longer than I thought but if you have any questions please let me know. Good luck stakers and stay green!

Yes! This is the most important fact of the game. The amount of cards here can be absurd. They say they are 8 deck, but the site does not confirm this information. And that's terrible for the player, because the more cards, the more complicated and harder it is to win a hand. Still, as a big fan of this game, I place bets here.
sahil777 Posted February 8, 2020 #7 Posted February 8, 2020 sean i always love to read your topics always very detailed and informative, even if you are asking about anything, you talk in detail so everyone can understand what the actual thing is going to be discussed, and this post is awesome as well.
seanwattson Posted February 8, 2020 Author #8 Posted February 8, 2020 Wow thank you for the great feedback. I know I tend to overdo myself sometimes but I feel that when talking to a group of people who English is their second la gauge not only does it help their vocabulary but it helps to get a better idea of what is being said. I really do appreciate it bud! 2 hours ago, sahil777 said: sean i always love to read your topics always very detailed and informative, even if you are asking about anything, you talk in detail so everyone can understand what the actual thing is going to be discussed, and this post is awesome as well.
ldkam Posted February 11, 2020 #10 Posted February 11, 2020 Stand when your hand is 12-16 when the dealer has 2-6. Hit when your hand is 12-16 when the dealer has 7-Ace
Sumedang Posted February 11, 2020 #11 Posted February 11, 2020 thank you for the information, I have never played blackjack before. but I seem to want to try it in a casino rather than at stake.
Shekhar1992GL Posted February 11, 2020 #12 Posted February 11, 2020 Playing blackjack is really nice. but i found myself difficult when we playing it online casinos. i would recommend online (live casino) or playing in real casinos. so many online casinos were totally rigged. i never win anything while playing blackjack (even on stake or other websites) i follow strategies shown by eddie but it still not working for me. i know strategy wont give guarantee of win but i feeling rigged after so many loss streaks like continue 20 or more losses in ...
Thepug Posted March 1, 2020 #14 Posted March 1, 2020 You can’t count cards in unlimited blackjack because you never get the advantage. Stake implemented this because some people have dice and Hilo bits, so making a blackjack one would be fairly easy. The unlimited blackjack is a blessing and a curse though, but mostly a curse for the players. Since the banker has to hit on every card, you might get a 17 against a 6 and still lose easily due to this. This is why I tend to stay away from blackjack now and play other games on the site.
blueprints Posted March 1, 2020 #15 Posted March 1, 2020 i read some of your points, and though i did not read everything i sure did like the points i did read! and i will probably always rememeber what i read that you wrote about blackjack tips such as always split on ace pair, always hit on 16, and how we cant count cards with infinite deck.
Tushi Posted March 31, 2020 #16 Posted March 31, 2020 You have to read this before playing blackjack. ... Yes, you can use this basic blackjack strategy table when ... How to Win More at Blackjack: A Few Important Tips.
gamblerscave1 Posted November 6, 2020 #17 Posted November 6, 2020 maybe this will help me while playing bj
kodark Posted November 25, 2020 #18 Posted November 25, 2020 man it is not against rules to do card count , professional blackjack players just do it in real casinos (not here, unlimited deck is impossible to win, better play dice.) There are many systems also and forums about BJ. If you are a serious BJ player, you count. Read some books about it, the counting is not as simple as you've said and think, you must know how much decks are in play, the discard cards, the RC and IRC values, etc... https://www.888casino.com/blog/blackjack-strategy-guide/blackjack-card-counting "Using your brain when you play blackjack is not illegal; neither is card counting." Same as Poker, if you have the skill you can go ahead.
BlancaColucci Posted June 3, 2021 #20 Posted June 3, 2021 Thank you for the tips. I am sure that some rookies will find them helpful. But from my considerable experience of playing in online casinos on https://ekstrapoint.com/competitions . I realized that the most effective method of playing in a casino is the one you've invented by yourself. Because there is no such thing as a good or wrong method. Every type of play has its own advantages or disadvantages. And you have to find the one that suits you and you feel comfortable with. Hope my message will be heard.
Khobi123 Posted June 3, 2021 #21 Posted June 3, 2021 Tips overall are nice but I really feel like if you use a direct system you wont be as profitable as you might think, Casinos often times account for such discrepancies.
Kelzco Posted July 28, 2021 #22 Posted July 28, 2021 stick to the maths and long term it will bring you closer to the rtp
Carol Posted September 5, 2021 #23 Posted September 5, 2021 I think blackjack is a bit complicated game, but you explained all easily. Thank you. I think another general tip is to manage your funds well, before starting it is important that you decide what is the maximum amount you can spend without having a bad time. Once you get to that point, leave the table. Don't spend more hoping to recoup your losses.
