1. Player goes first AND dealer's bottom card is hidden---those are decisive advantages to the house. Say Player has 13 and the dealer's upcard is a POWER CARD (say a 9). If I KNEW the dealer was sitting on a 7, I would sit there and smile (stand). I am staring at a Power card (A, K,Q,J, 10 and/or Joker=win) 2=power assist of an 11 for a positive suit of S-E-V-E-N cards...meaning, I have to hit!!! Look what I am hitting into: 9,10,J,Q,K are instant BUST cards. A,2,3 are FORCE cards, meaning I have to hit again and every time I hit, I increase my chances of busting, 6 is a potential TIE. That means I only have T-H-R-E-E lousy win cards (7,8,Joker). If I moved all in with a 13 against a 9, I'd be asking the cocktail waitress for a butter knife to slit my jugular!
2. KNOWLEDGE of the Game is only 10% of the game. Chart the table BEFORE you sit down (is dealer trending hot or cold?). Limp in with a $25 dollar bet, press it if you win or else repeat x3 if you lose. Three losses and you leave, and surrenders count as 1/2 a loss.
21% :)
The dealer has the advantage because the player is forced to make the first move. Therefore you have a good chance of busting before the dealer even plays his hand. The player is also forced to make his/her decision while only seeing one of the dealer's two cards.
..... There aren't opponents in blackjack. just the dealer and the players. If 2 players both have 21, and the dealer doesn't they both win regardless of what cards they have.
I believe the name "blackjack" may have come from the fact that originally players were paid extra when they were dealt a spade-suited blackjack with an Ace and Jack.
it ends after alll players are bust
Probably, You're not gonna be able to find the answer to your question in a place like this, if you can understand why... I would recommend you to subscribe to a Blackjack forum (and/or clubs) dedicated to professional players. There you'll find real users of the Babum Blackjack software; and if you're lucky enough, perhaps you'll get to hear one of those amazing stories about the latest techniques (to win big at Blackjack) that have been developed with astonishing results.
Most players will take the even money, it is always a sure win. If you don't and the dealer has blackjack it is only a push.
if the blackjack is a natural i.e. you get 21 from the first deal, then no. But if the 5-card charlie comes after you have been dealt 3 or more cards, then yes
That makes no scense but left handed basketball players have an advantage overright handed players
it depends on the strategy you use what kind of players you have and what kind of players they have
Some players try to cheat at blackjack by marking the cards so that they can recognize them. Another way of cheating is by counting cards to try and analyze which cards are likely to come up next.
Blackjack is not a multiplayer game. It is a casino game where there is the dealer and the only player is you. In order to win the stake, you should either get 21 points in your first two cards (Blackjack), surpass the score of the dealer after the hand is stuck or the dealer's hand should be bust (higher than 21).
