The casino is always going to look after themselves first with their house edge.  If you do some research and find out which are the best casino games you can play to reduce the house edge and then what tricks to turn the advantage to you.

I know I sound like some cheesy salesman… but that’s what you have to do if you want to reduce the edge.

Easy aint it???

People learning how to master blackjack always ask is it difficult to master the art of card counting?  Do you have to be a mathematical genius or have aphotographic memory?  No, you don’t.  But you do have to learn to card count and then you have to practice it a lot, in order for the skill to become second nature.

There is a lot of mystery around card counting, but when you get down to the basics of it, then it is just a skill that you learn and apply whilst playing card games.  People think that card counters always win in the casino and that they have certain powers to beat the system.  But the truth is that they also lose often, but they do reduce the casino odds by selective play and betting.

There is so much to cover on this subject that I am not possibly going to cover it all in one go, but over the next few weeks I’ll try and reveal more that I know about blackjack card counting, to show you how to master blackjack!!!

It is best to stick to the plan, stick to your blackjack strategy, to play consistent and to be steadfast.  Boring, I know but it is the best way to play blackjack.  That way you play with the best odds of beating the dealer and winning.

There are many casino games that you can play that rely on intuition and guessing what will come up, if that is what you like doing, then rather play them than blackjack. Even if you are having a bad run of luck and despite following the guidelines your stack is dwindling, don’t start to do crazy things because your stack will disappear even faster.  If they guy next to you is doing crazy things and winning hands down, don’t try and do the same.

Luck comes and goes, play consistent and your turn will come.

“Well dear do you use the blackjack strategy chart and what does it tell you to do?”

“The what?”

(oh dear this is going to take a while….)

“A blackjack strategy chart tells you exactly what to do.  The best decision, that will give you the best probability of winning at blackjack, is written down on the chart for every possible scenario of cards that you could get.  All you have to do is follow the chart”

“Where do I find a blackjack strategy chart?”

“Go online, use a search engine to find a strategy chart from a blackjack site that you can trust, print it and use it… should be self explanatory”.

Its as simple as that – making sure you make the decision that will have the highest probability of beating the dealer – What more is there to blackjack?

Just use the blackjack strategy chart and you stand a chance of beating the casino.  All the hard work has been done for you.
