Thank you to share this strategy, personnally I play blackjack without a real strategy. I can hit on a 17, and stand on a 9.

I was most fortunate to have a dealer that taught me the basic Blackjack rules the first time I sat at a table. The "right" way to play is very easy to learn. If I were more savvy, I would post a link to any of the sites that you can find one of those little cards they have at Blackjack tables for new players, but I'm not. 

Every play you make in blackjack is easily determined by what the dealers card is you can see.

Always assume and play each hand as if the dealer has a 10 underneath. Always. 

This is how you know whether to hit or stay:

If the dealers up card is a 7,8,9,10, face card, or ace, you hit.

If the dealers up card is a 3,4,5, or 6, you stay. The dealer must hit soft 16. These are the bust cards.

2s are kind of dangerous because there are a lot of hands the dealer can make. i stay against them, but only because i know the dealer has to hit.

Aces are scary too, but hit against aces, always.

The rules for splitting and doubling are about the same, don't double when the dealer is showing a 7,8,9,10, face, or ace. 

I happily double down with 9, or if I'm feeling extra spry, ill double down on 8 if the dealer is showing a 6. But always double dow when you have 10 or 11 when the dealer is showing a 3,4,5, or 6.

There are so many little tricks and ways to play and every hand is different. 

Oh, if you feel the need to take insurance, only insure good hands like 19 or better. Yes, I was the idiot trying to buy insurance with 14. The dealer told me no.

And don't split 20, duh. No need to wreck a perfectly good hand. 

Anyway, find a card with the basic rules online, or scrawl 7,8,9,10,face,ace hit and 3,4,5,6 stay, split, double on a piece of paper. Thats all you really need to know. 

If you are currently playing and have no clue what you are doing, this will change your game completely. Good Luck!

 

 

thanks for this sir, i have read it and enjoy and learn from this, i will definitely use it once i choose to play BJ but i love crash now, maybe i can use this when i have no choice like to play BJ bcoz of forum challenge, thx sir!

[DaDude]

I dont think there is a right or wrong way to play, its all about luck 🙂᠎᠎᠎᠎᠎᠎᠎᠎
just dont make stupid hits or splits lol

[banditc]

mathematically there is absolutely a right and wrong way to play

 

[Enzo]

I think this is a great explanation of the blackjack strategy. It's hard for some to understand I feel. 

I wish more users would use this because with the low house edge of BJ i think a lot more people could win. 

[bibots]

This seems legit thnx man <3

[nuuuitsjdragon]

I agreed that following BlackJack strategy doesn’t seem to do much during the sessions at Stake as it’s always a close call or dealer pulling Blackjack, even when you have a Blackjack.  😂

It’s good to know what to do though so armed with that knowledge, we can make the decision on whether to follow or not.

[banditc]

agreed, more people should use this strat. its effective point blank

 

[DCYuma]

I think tactic is not so 100% correct cause I tried to follow it and still got wrong things.

Thanks for this topic bro badger, this topic will help me a lot. Sometime I going to play blackjack, but I really don't know some rule of blackjack. I didn't even know why insurance and when can click split  , I am really newbie in blackjack. 

[banditc]

readd up on it, knowing the basics and the ideal way to play will help you alot.

 

[badger]

never take insurance, but if you do, only insure hands like 20, 11, 10. never insure 13 or 16. lol, fk insurance.

... insurance is only offered when the dealer shows an ace. 

... you can only split cards that match. always split aces, always split 8s. 

irl casinos will let you split any 2 cards that make 20. stake only lets you split 20 if it is a matching pair of face cards, like 2 queens, but not a jack and a 10.

Huge advantage for the house to allow that. what casino wants their players to have 20, and stand with it? lol, none lol

Thanks for these wonderful information,it's not just an information but also an advice 

[BidaManEris]

3 as a face-up is still fair. I would only have a lot of confidence if the dealer's card is 5 or 6. If dealer's hand is 7, that's my only borderline from choosing whether to hit or not.

Nevertheless, aside from these, I would still follow the basic strategy.

[Aiza824]

Follow @veleten's table. That should give you the closest game session you could ever get to 0.5% house edge but you might ask that sometimes it is not the case when you can't count the deck- this is true only if the dealer has fair cards (2-4). Tread lightly with them as those are the only dealer' face-up card where you have to use your best judgement.

[play4win]

Thnks badger i hv noted down the basic rules. Thanks it was so handy . I will try it out at once .

[KellsBells]

I suggest everyone use a cheat sheet printed out

 Helps me big time, as I don't want to give the house anymore edge then the bare minimum.

[PoLY]

I am just playing the basic blackjack strategy

[ozo9000]

thanks for the info

[jdmustang]

thks for the blackjack strategy

[deluxy88]

i lost most at this game unfortunately 😬my only suggestion is do not play this game when your on a losing streak.

This blackjack is totally different from live blackjack it depends much on your seed and server hash. the outcome is tottally random.

 

[Freddyzone7]

I always get mixed up with a 12 or 13  vs a 2 or 3.  Very close percentage either way
