The rules and odds are just as good and bad in the casino as they are with live dealers online, so when we play in the online casino we can follow the same strategy as usual.
The strategic direction
You should always be aware that you can win or lose. Losing streaks or runs with lots of winnings are also always possible.
Therefore we recommend:
Adjust the round bet to the game budget
and always keep a cool head instead of forcing happiness.
Maneuver
During the current game, there are a number of maneuvers that go beyond drawing or rejecting another card:
- Split: Splitting can be used when the two base cards form a pair (e.g. two Jacks). You must then pay your base bet again and compete against the dealer with two hands. Note: If you split two Aces, you may only draw one more card at a time.
- Double Down: With Double Down you can double your bet after you have received the starting cards. After that, the rule in Blackjack is that you must draw exactly one more card.
- Surrender: With Surrender you can give up after receiving the two starting cards. As a consolation you only lose half of your stake and can keep the other half.
Blackjack table
Within a single game, you never know which decision is the right one. Even if you make the most mathematically sound decision, you can still be very unlucky. Conversely, a suboptimal decision can also lead to a win against the dealer.
However, the statistical values in the table can be very helpful, for example, when playing a soft hand (if you have an ace). We have summarized the most important findings about the blackjack table in a separate article.
Card Counting (Online and Offline) in Blackjack
There is a trick that is famous in blackjack: it’s about counting cards. It’s legal, but not that easy to use. Put simply, it’s about paying attention to which cards are or were already face up in the game. From this, you can draw conclusions about the probability that the cards that are still face down have a high or low value.
Hi-Lo card counting involves analyzing how many high or low cards are already out of the game. If a lot of high cards are revealed, the probability of drawing a lower card increases. However, there are 312 cards in blackjack. Major statistical changes can only occur if a corresponding number of cards have been revealed.
Tricks and strategies
Many casino tricks such as the Martingale strategy and the 1326 system were originally developed for roulette, but can also be perfectly applied to blackjack.
But be careful: These are all very cool gimmicks, but in the end they do not lead to a guaranteed win.
Blackjack side bets
Another eternal question is that of side and additional bets, such as:
- Perfect Couple
- 21 plus 3
- Happy Ladies
- Ass-Versicherung
An exciting gimmick are these blackjack side bets, which are also optionally offered online at some tables. However, we cannot really recommend them.
