Why Do I Love This Game? Because it’s Beatable (and Take That to the House)



I love this game.

Why?

Because I win. Sometimes. In other words, this game is beatable. And you can take that to the house.

Since multiple hands of the game are dealt to players between shuffles, a smart player can use information about the cards that have already been dealt to predict something about the cards to come.

That’s the basis of card counting.

Unlike games like roulette or craps where the previous spins or rolls have no impact on future decisions, each hand in blackjack depletes the remaining deck of the cards that were used.

From that simple fact arises the idea of card counting, a legal advantage play method that really can provide the player a mathematical advantage over the casino.

If the remaining cards to be dealt have a higher than normal ratio of tens and aces compared to the smaller cards, the player’s advantage is increased.

Thus, card counting is simply a method of determining when the remaining deck is player-favorable.

When the deck is “rich” in tens and aces, the card counter places correspondingly larger wagers.

When the deck instead has more small cards such as twos through sixes, the card counter will bet as little as possible or leave the table.

Give it a try. There are a lot of free blackjack sites on the net where you can practice your skills. Do so before laying out your hard-earned cash.

And then go out and win.

Of course, there is a lot more to winning blackfack then a large room of crazy supporters.
