Blackjack is a gambling game, so hedging your bet and playing safe by taking Insurance or even money doesn’t make much sense. In around 7 out of ten instances the Dealer shows an Ace they will not have blackjack, so buying Insurance is a losing long-term strategy. Blackjack has a single correct basic strategy, given the game’s basic rules. However, the strategy can vary slightly from game to game, as different casinos may offer different rules. The basic strategy can also be affected by the number of decks used in different blackjack variants. What is the first step in learning how to win at blackjack? And to to be a long-term winner, you must learn the art of card counting and we will delve into that subject a little bit later. But first, let’s learn about the best way for the average player to improve their game and that is by learning the basic strategy of Blackjack. The 1-3-2-6 blackjack betting strategy is not as exciting as the Martingale strategy, and that’s a good thing. This betting strategy doesn’t require a huge bankroll and is a lot more suitable for.
If you have watched any of our how to play blackjack videos, then you will know that the game of blackjack has one of the lowest house edges in the casino.
Pinetop casino. However, this is only true if you are playing every blackjack hand correctly. You see, blackjack is a game of skill, as well as luck, meaning that if you know how to properly play your hands, you will achieve a better payback percentage (in the long run) than someone who sits there and guesses how to play their blackjack hands.
Actually, there is only one mathematically correct way to play your hand in any given situation and it is the blackjack strategy chart that will show you how to do that. The chart will tell you how to play your hand based on the total of the cards you are dealt and also, the dealer’s up card. Just find those two factors on the chart and it will show you how to play that hand. This means that there is no guesswork on your part and you have an easy way to play your hands in the mathematically correct manner!
Listed below is a link for blackjack strategy charts. You can print them out and take them with you to the casino so you know how to properly play your hand in any given situation. Good Luck!Keep in mind that a casino’s mathematical advantage against you can change, depending on the number of decks they use and the rules of the game they offer. Playing a single-deck game would be best, while an eight-deck game would be worst. Plus, some rules are good for you (dealer stands on soft 17, doubling after splitting allowed), while some are bad (dealer hits soft 17, no doubling down allowed).This also means that the correct strategy can change slightly based on the number of decks used and the rules enforced. Therefore, you will notice that there are six different FREE blackjack strategy charts that we offer you on our website. Be sure to check at the top of each chart to make sure you are using the proper chart for the game that you will be playing.
If you use your blackjack strategy charts correctly, you can easily lower the casino’s long-term advantage to less than 1%, which makes it one of the best games in the casino. Especially, compared to slot machines which have a casino edge of about 5% to 15%.
As a final word of caution, however, be sure that you only play blackjack games that pay you 3-to-2 if you are dealt a blackjack. Unfortunately, there are many casinos that now pay only 6-to-5, or even-money for dealt blackjacks, and they are usually found at the lower-limit tables.
If a casino only pays 6-to-5 for blackjacks, that raises the casino advantage by about 1.40%, more than doubling the casinos advantage! And, even worse, if they only pay even-money for blackjacks, that adds about an extra 2.30% to the casino’s edge over you, bringing it up to about 3.30%, making it more than triple the standard casino advantage of about 1%!
So, be sure to avoid any game that doesn’t pay you 3-to-2 for your blackjacks!

Me and my wife started to get into some casino games here locally in Oklahoma. We like to play blackjack and video poker and throw a few dollars in the penny slots for just entertainment.
The local blackjack rules are 3:2 on BJ, S17 and you can double after split. From what I have researched these are not bad rules.
Anyways i am not a rich guy so ive only ever bought in at a table for like 40-60 dollars. I have memorized basic strategy and there are times where i have sat down with 40 bucks and got wiped out really quick, and other times where i take like 30 bucks and play for a few hours and break even. We usually flat bet most of the time at 5 bucks and maybe bet 10 or 15 a hand if we are up a bit of money..
I know that basic strategy only gets the house edge a little less than one percent and the house still will take your money over the long run but my main question is how much bankroll should i be taking with me before i play. (These are 5$ tables.) Ive heard anything from 50 bets to 100 bets etc. I am not fast enough to even consider counting cards but i do enjoy playing the game and would like to lose as little money as possible and have some fun.
Do i need to be trying to leave the table breaking even each time (having enough bankroll to ride out the bad string of cards) or in the long run will i have nights where i make a bit of money and over the long run have bad nights and good nights that average out to close the the few % loss..?
To sum up the question is do i need to take enough bankroll( and how much?) to lose as little as possible or break even on each session or will taking small amounts of money and sometimes losing it all still yield my less than 1% loss over the long run using basic strategy.
Thanks for any help.AxelWolf

Thanks for any help. I’m not sure exactly what you are asking. But i get the feeling you want to know, how much money you need to have in order to ride out the variance and make sure you lose just a little, or win a little? You don’t seem to be asking how much money you need to play for x amount of time.
You mentioned something about needing 100 units. Someone probably told you its hard to get behind 100 units, but that does not mean you will suddenly start winning once your down 100 units. theirs no magic number of units you will lose before things will turn around. Once they are gone, they are gone.

$5
You’ll lose the ability for basic strategy doubles and splits (at least on the first hand), but you will still end up with more money than if you brought the $250 or $500 that you’ve heard else where.
A couple exceptions:
You can earn comps to offset losses with more time at the table
You care about something other than maximizing profitbrettecantwellYeah, Im looking to just have a good time at the table and if a lose a little money but had a good time then im good, obviously winning a bit would make it even more fun. Im just concerned if 40-60 bucks is enough..( doesnt seem like it because a bad swing of cards really hurts this small amount) For example one time i sat down with 40 bucks and got 8 loser hands and lost it all very quick and obviously didnt have much fun. Then one night my wife sat down with 40 dollars and got up to almost 100, lost a little but still left the table almost doubling her money.
Then we see a guy rubbing the table when he gets an ace or face cards and making big bets and winning the money ;P i guess they call it gambling for a reason..

Welcome, Brett. I’m so glad that you joined us. When I saw Oklahoma my first thought was the dreaded ante. Is an ante required for each hand?

We usually flat bet most of the time at 5 bucks and maybe bet 10 or 15 a hand if we are up a bit of money.
There are a number of strategies.
If you want to sit down and play for a while, the number I usually hear kicked around is 30 bets. Flat-betting $5, that’s $150.
That should give you a reasonable chance of riding out a losing streak and making something of a comeback.May the cards fall in your favor.EvenBobNever bring a ’piss me off’ amount of

Welcome, Brett. I’m so glad that you joined us. When I saw Oklahoma my first thought was the dreaded ante. Is an ante required for each hand? If so is there a way to get it waived by betting higher or meeting some other requirement?
The casinos around here that i have been to (Northeast OK) will waive the ante when you have your players card, so i have not had to pay any antes yet. I noticed the dealers will transfer and mess with lots of dollar and .50c chips around on the tray.. I asked the dealer what she was doing and she informed me how she was paying the antes. They have an entire slot on the tray set aside for the antes the house is paying. The dealer will do some strange thing and move chips around and throw markers in cash box etc etc.
I guess the casinos decided them paying the antes for the players was their best option because having the pay .50c a hand doesnt sound too appealing. Its really a non issue and never comes up, just about everyone has a players card and its too easy to go get one so there is no excuse to be paying the antes.. I have only seen one person lazy enough to not get up a walk the 50 feet to get his players card, and opting to pay the antes instead lol.
If you opt to pay the antes the dealer will give you dollars and .50c checks when you buy into the game.
Like i said earlier, its really a non issue as the casinos i have been to myself are taking the initiative and paying the antes when you have a player card, i assume the others in the state are doing the same as well.Best Blackjack StrategyBasic Blackjack Strategy ChartRomesHey brett, and welcome to the forums!
Playing basic strategy with a S17 game like you mentioned is usually under half a percent house edge (i.e. < .5%). That is indeed a good game, so what does that mean for you? Well that means for every $100 you wager (which would be 20 times of betting $5) you’ll lose, on average, about 40 cents. Not too bad if you stick to perfect basic strategy if you ask me! Make sure you have the Stand 17 strategy, as it’s just ’slightly’ differnet from a Hit 17 game strategy. You can get the strategy for any game here from the Wizard’s main site.
There’s 2 ways I can do this for you, and I encourage you to understand both, for fun =).
1) Just tell you.. If you’re only betting $5, you’d probably be fine to play for hours with a few hundred bucks. So I’d recommend $250-$500. The more you ’rarely’ bet $10 and $15 the more I’d recommend the higher end of that amount.
2) Show you the math! Let’s say you like to play for 3 hours at a time. Assuming since this is a $5 S17 table it’s mostly crowded, you’ll probably get something like 70 hands per hour. So in 3 hours, you’ll play about 210 hands. If you always bet $5, then in 3 hours you’ll put through about $1,050 worth of ’action.’ From this, if the casino has about a .4% house edge, you could expect to lose 1050 * .004 = $4.20. Thus, in 3 hours, you’d expect to lose $4.20. Not bad, especially if they comp you some food after, huh?!?! Well, there is this fickle witch called ’variance’ in the game that means while you can expect to lose $4.20, you’ll sometimes lose more, or sometimes you’ll make money. Just like a coin, you’d expect in 10 flips for it to be 5 heads and 5 tails, but that’s not always the case =). This variance can be mathematically figured out though in terms of ’Standard Deviations.’ This is essentially the ’plus or minus’ number that you’ll often hear referred to in political polls or something. This means while you expect X, plus or minus Y is also in the realm of possibility. Therefor, if we figure out your standard deviation, we’ll know what your realm of possibility of losses are, and thus know how much to take so you should be able to play as long as you’d like!
Let’s assume you have a $10 average bet. I know you bet $5 most of the time, but since you bet $10 and $15 now and then, plus I’d like to be on the safe side, let’s go with $10 so that whatever number we find, we know you should be under that umbrella.
The standard deviation for any 1 hand of blackjack is your AvgBet * 1.1. The 1.1 number was figured out by mathematicians much smarter than myself, and it is a well known and accepted number for blackjack. So what’s your Standard Deviation (SD) for 1 hand?
SD(1) = AvgBet * 1.1 = 10 * 1.1 = $11. This means on any given hand (on average) you could expect to make or lose $11. Given you can split, double, get paid extra on blackjacks, etc, this makes sense that you could win or lose more than your regular $10 bet.
So how do we find out the SD for your 3 hour session? SD(xHands) = SD(1) * Sqrt(NumHands). This means we take the square root of the number of hands you plan to play (210 from above for 3 hours) and multiply that by the 11 number we just calculated.
SD(3 hour session) = 11 * Sqrt(210) = $159.41.
So for a 3 hour session, you should expect to lose $8.40 (remember $10 avg bet), PLUS or MINUS $160 for the variance. See how wild blackjack can really be now?!?! But we have only 1 more step to do. Standard Deviations come with their own ’flavor’ so to say. We calculated 1 Standard Deviation ($160).
1SD comes with 66% confidence.
2SD comes with 95% confidence.
3SD comes with 99.9% confidence.
These all come from statistics. All you need to know is we want to be CERTAIN that you have enough money, right? Well that means we want to be 99.9% sure you do! Thus, we need 3 Standard Deviations to be sure! 1SD = $160, so 3SD = $480.
And there you have it =). This means when you play THIS game of blackjack for

Welcome, Brett. I’m so glad that you joined us. When I saw Oklahoma my first thought was the dreaded ante. Is an ante required for each hand? If so is there a way to get it waived by betting higher or meeting some other requirement?
The casinos around here that i have been to (Northeast OK) will waive the ante when you have your players card, so i have not had to pay any antes yet. I noticed the dealers will transfer and mess with lots of dollar and .50c chips around on the tray.. I asked the dealer what she was doing and she informed me how she was paying the antes. They have an entire slot on the tray set aside for the antes the house is paying. The dealer will do some strange thing and move chips around and throw markers in cash box etc etc.
I guess the casinos decided them paying the antes for the players was their best option because having the pay .50c a hand doesnt sound too appealing. Its really a non issue and never comes up, just about everyone has a players card and its too easy to go get one so there is no excuse to be paying the antes.. I have only seen one person lazy enough to not get up a walk the 50 feet to get his players card, and opting to pay the antes instead lol.
If you opt to pay the antes the dealer will give you dollars and .50c checks when you buy into the game.
Like i said earlier, its really a non issue as the casinos i have been to myself are taking the initiative and paying the antes when you have a player card, i assume the others in the state are doing the same as well.Best Blackjack StrategyBasic Blackjack Strategy ChartRomesHey brett, and welcome to the forums!
Playing basic strategy with a S17 game like you mentioned is usually under half a percent house edge (i.e. < .5%). That is indeed a good game, so what does that mean for you? Well that means for every $100 you wager (which would be 20 times of betting $5) you’ll lose, on average, about 40 cents. Not too bad if you stick to perfect basic strategy if you ask me! Make sure you have the Stand 17 strategy, as it’s just ’slightly’ differnet from a Hit 17 game strategy. You can get the strategy for any game here from the Wizard’s main site.
There’s 2 ways I can do this for you, and I encourage you to understand both, for fun =).
1) Just tell you.. If you’re only betting $5, you’d probably be fine to play for hours with a few hundred bucks. So I’d recommend $250-$500. The more you ’rarely’ bet $10 and $15 the more I’d recommend the higher end of that amount.
2) Show you the math! Let’s say you like to play for 3 hours at a time. Assuming since this is a $5 S17 table it’s mostly crowded, you’ll probably get something like 70 hands per hour. So in 3 hours, you’ll play about 210 hands. If you always bet $5, then in 3 hours you’ll put through about $1,050 worth of ’action.’ From this, if the casino has about a .4% house edge, you could expect to lose 1050 * .004 = $4.20. Thus, in 3 hours, you’d expect to lose $4.20. Not bad, especially if they comp you some food after, huh?!?! Well, there is this fickle witch called ’variance’ in the game that means while you can expect to lose $4.20, you’ll sometimes lose more, or sometimes you’ll make money. Just like a coin, you’d expect in 10 flips for it to be 5 heads and 5 tails, but that’s not always the case =). This variance can be mathematically figured out though in terms of ’Standard Deviations.’ This is essentially the ’plus or minus’ number that you’ll often hear referred to in political polls or something. This means while you expect X, plus or minus Y is also in the realm of possibility. Therefor, if we figure out your standard deviation, we’ll know what your realm of possibility of losses are, and thus know how much to take so you should be able to play as long as you’d like!
Let’s assume you have a $10 average bet. I know you bet $5 most of the time, but since you bet $10 and $15 now and then, plus I’d like to be on the safe side, let’s go with $10 so that whatever number we find, we know you should be under that umbrella.
The standard deviation for any 1 hand of blackjack is your AvgBet * 1.1. The 1.1 number was figured out by mathematicians much smarter than myself, and it is a well known and accepted number for blackjack. So what’s your Standard Deviation (SD) for 1 hand?
SD(1) = AvgBet * 1.1 = 10 * 1.1 = $11. This means on any given hand (on average) you could expect to make or lose $11. Given you can split, double, get paid extra on blackjacks, etc, this makes sense that you could win or lose more than your regular $10 bet.
So how do we find out the SD for your 3 hour session? SD(xHands) = SD(1) * Sqrt(NumHands). This means we take the square root of the number of hands you plan to play (210 from above for 3 hours) and multiply that by the 11 number we just calculated.
SD(3 hour session) = 11 * Sqrt(210) = $159.41.
So for a 3 hour session, you should expect to lose $8.40 (remember $10 avg bet), PLUS or MINUS $160 for the variance. See how wild blackjack can really be now?!?! But we have only 1 more step to do. Standard Deviations come with their own ’flavor’ so to say. We calculated 1 Standard Deviation ($160).
1SD comes with 66% confidence.
2SD comes with 95% confidence.
3SD comes with 99.9% confidence.
These all come from statistics. All you need to know is we want to be CERTAIN that you have enough money, right? Well that means we want to be 99.9% sure you do! Thus, we need 3 Standard Deviations to be sure! 1SD = $160, so 3SD = $480.
And there you have it =). This means when you play THIS game of blackjack for
