play smart

common depends who you ask – and where in town you play – more and more vegas especially is offering house favored rules not player favored –

its common to have double any two cards – where some shaft you and only let you double on 10 or 11

common is dealer stands on soft 17 verses some that hit that hand

more and more strip casinos are offering 6:5 blackjack instead of STANDARD 3:2

you should be allowed to split up to 4 times – some dont let you……..

you should be allowed to double after a split

t doesn’t take a rocket scientist or expert mathematician to learn how to count cards!
Most card counting systems start with a count of 0. This means that when you first sit down at a blackjack table, the count is 0. Depending on which counting system you are using, this count will fluctuate with every card that is dealt.

The most important item is the sign declaring betting limits. Both the minimum and the maximum allowable bets should be clearly posted on a sign on the table-top.

The rules are similar but there are small differences. Most of them only mean a difference of a fraction of a percentage point – they aren’t going to make a big difference in your result.

Dealer hits A6 – dealer stands on A6.

Double down on anything – double down only on 10 and 11.

Blackjack pays 3:2 – blackjack pays 6:5 (avoid this).

Unlimited splitting – maximum of 4 split hands.

Play split aces however you want – after you split aces you get one more card on each and that’s it.

Doubling allowed after splitting – no doubles after splitting.

Surrender even before the dealer checks for blackjack (very rare and very good for the player) – surrender after the dealer checks for blackjack – no surrender.

Insurance is almost always allowed because it’s always a bad bet for a non-card counting player.

The most common rules on the Vegas strip are six decks, dealer hits A6, double on any two cards, you can double after split, surrender after the dealer checks for blackjack, you can play split aces however you want.

I haven’t played blackjack in Atlantic City in a long time, but from memory I think many of the games were 8 decks, dealer stands on A6, double on any two cards, double after split allowed, maximum 4 split hands, only one more card on split aces, no surrender.

* Blackjack is a combination of an Ace and a Jack, Queen, or King and it pays 3 to 2, which is
1.5 times your original bet.
* Insurance pays 2 to 1, which is twice the amount of your insurance bet.
* In case of a tie, your bet is returned to you.
* The Dealer must hit a soft 17.
* The Dealer must hit on a hard total of 16 or less.
* Only one card is dealt on split aces.
* The Dealer stands on any soft total of 18 or more.
