Additional Backjack Strategy

Here are some basic rules to abide by when playing BlackJack and the best advice I can give you is to learn them and just do them! Statistically they should produce a winning outcome.

1. Your deal is Less than 11
If your first two cards are equal to eleven or less you always draw another card. No matter what card the Dealer is showing you must always assume that the dealer has a ten hidden.

2. Your deal is between 12 to 16
If your cards total 12 to 16 (Danger Zone), whether you draw or stand depends on what the dealer is showing.
If the dealer has a card showing between 7 to an Ace, you should draw until you are over 16.If the dealer has a card showing between 2 to 6, you should not draw another card.
Exception: If you have 12 and the dealer is showing a 2 or 3 you should draw one more card only.

3. Your deal is between 17 to 20
If you have cards total between 17 to 20, you should never draw another card. The only time you should draw another card under the above circimstances is when you have a soft 17 or 18.
When the player has a soft 17 or 18 it is a good idea to draw if the dealer is showing any card from a 9 to an Ace.
Insurance is often not recommended, since you are betting that the dealer will receive a BlackJack (21). You are playing to beat the dealer not bet that he will beat you.
