Bla Black Jack

Pitter Warzinger — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 06:30:07 +0000

Bla Black Jack
Blackjack is a well known card game since recorded gambling. Playing blackjack is easy – just get a twenty – one (21) by summing up card values. How? Once the dealer deals a player a pair of cards, try to add the values. If your sum equals to twenty one “thanks friend”. “Blackjack!” as most winners are hoping to exclaim with enthusiasm. Nonetheless, if not lets hope, the sum of your cards is near but not beyond 21 and higher than what the dealer deals themselves. Blackjack Counting 101: Number cards are only equal to their face value 2 – 10. The ace has a dual value and can be either 1 or 11. Then, royalty or face cards all equal to ten. Example 1, in this example lets say that the two initial cards are the Jack of Clubs and Ace of Diamonds, if we sum up the values of these card it will be eleven correct? 1 + 10 = 11. But, as we said earlier an ace could be an eleven so ten plus one equals twenty-one. Your ace now is referred as a soft card simply because of its value (eleven). Thus I think someone won that round and in this example it is actually a black jack. How about if the player is dealt 2 aces for example number 2, logically their value will be twenty-two or a two or even twelve. In order to be in the game, one should ask for another card, let’s say that the next card that comes up is a nine. 21 = 11 + 1 + 9. How come? Remember an ace can be counted as either a one or an eleven. This time the ace, which has a value of 1 is referred to as hard card. Statistics and probability enthusiast create their own winning formula(s). Honestly, there are blackjack players who make blackjack a profession. This also is a caution of most casinos. So, to help counter the professional gamblers that play blackjack casinos ended up using multiple decks to help prevent card counting. It was done to help prevent losses and the multiple decks are typically 2 -10 (decks) which they call a shoe. Casinos make profit not just by playing blackjack. Moreover, there are also side bets as they call it. Here are some to name a few. Triple 7′s: A seven, you get paid equal to your bet. Two 7′s get paid thrice your bet and finally (and fortunately) Three 7′s get paid seven times. And you win – with 21! Six-to-Eight = if you get a six, a seven, and an eight your bet is paid doubled. And it is again a 21! A-Nine-A = if you 2 aces and a nine this time your bet is paid 6 times. And again 21! It is still your judgment call …, when you’re in a streak would you still sit-and-play or stand-and-go? ATTENTION! Different casinos have their own set of rules. Observe before you sit and play. Enjoy bla bla blackjacking!

After you dealer

After you dealer
Three times I got to play my hand after the dealer’s hole card was exposed. First a dealer peeked under a 10 and flipped over a4! We all have experienced the “double dip” look at a 4 in the hole under a 10 and flipped over a4! Marvin French says: We all have experienced the “double dip” look at a 4 in the hole under a 10, but this is the first time I have seen the 4 turned over. I was playing two hands. The first, with a toke, totaled nine. I could not double down, so I hit and caughtance. The second hand was fourteen, so I stood. Instead of me breaking, the dealer broke and I won. The second time was at the MGM. A super-fast dealer did not wait for me to double after splitting 7-7 against her 6, when I caught an ace on the second 7. She flipped up her hole card , a 10, before I could even blink. I screamed for the pit boss, who let me double down. When the dealer broke I won. The third time was at Sundowner. I wanted to double down on ten against an ace because of a high count. I stupidly laid my hand face down as I reached for my wallet. The dealer thought I was standing and turned over her hole card, a 4. The pit boss was understanding and said I could stand, hit, or double. I doubled, and this dealer also broke.

An Alternative to Wonging

An Alternative to Wonging
In Beat the Dealer, Ed Thorp says he started out with 1:10 bet variation. When that attracted too much attention, he cut back so that his big bet was a smaller multiple of his small bet. Most authors since Thorp have written as though 1:4 was large enough. I took small bet variation to the extreme in Professional Blackjack , recommending flat bets and Wonging. It is also possible to get away with the other extreme to use bet variation, and lots of it. You might be able to get away with one hand of $25 on the worst situations and have two hands of $200 or more on the best. In casinos where bets over $100 attract too much attention, you might be able to get away with $5 to $100. Bet variation is tolerated better now than it was in the 1970s. Perhaps this is due to the increased number of Asian customers in casinos now. In Macao and other countries in the Orient, huge bet variation is the norm; if the table limit is 10 to 2000 in local currency, most customers seem willing to bet 10 for a starter and progress to 2000 if they hit a winning streak. If casino employees see enough poor players use huge bet variation, then a card counter using big bet variation can blend right in. The trick to getting away with big bet variation is to do it in other than a mechanical, by-the-numbers way. For example, you might occasionally pop out a big bet on the first round after a shuffle. If you are going $25 to two hands of $200, for example, you might sometimes bet one hand of $100 or more on the first round. If you bet $100 on the first round, then you might go up to $200 or drop to $25 on the second round, depending on the count. Thus you get a $25 to $200 spread on the second round. Cutting back from $100 to $25 does not seem to attract attention. If you had bet only $25 on the first round you certainly would attract attention betting $200 on the second round!. Try to avoid any sort of a pattern. For example, if you realize that for the last ten minutes you have been betting only one or two green chips each hand because the count has not gone very high, you might pop out five greens on the first round after the shuffle. Your expected win is negative on that one bet, but it buys you the ability to bet five or more green chips on the next good count. Do not use bet variation in a mechanical manner. If the count calls for a big bet, just grab a handful of chips and place them in the circle. If you want to bet $200 and have you are betting quarters, for example, you may actually have $200 out there, but if you did not grab exactly the correct number of chips you might bet $175 or $225. People do not seem to pay as much attention to how much you bet as how you bet it. You would probably get more attention carefully counting out $150 than by quickly grabbing a handful of chips that happens to total $225. A side benefit from betting odd amounts is more dealer errors. For example, once I bet $55 in $5 chips and was allowed to insure the whole bet for just $25. The dealer thought I had bet an even $50. Bet what you can get away with rather than trying to bet an optimal amount that depends on the count. If the count is negative, try to bet the least you can get away with. If you have an edge, try to bet as close to the optimal amount as possible with the constraint that you want your bet size to look natural to whoever is watching.
