Winning at Blackjack Don’ts
- Take insurance unless you are playing with several people and see no 10s out on the layout, otherwise, forget about this bet.
- Use surrender except when you have a 15 against a 10 and when you have 16 against a nine, 10 or ace.
- Be rude to the other players or the dealer, they are trying to enjoy themselves just like you are. The dealer does not control the cards – you control what you bet, when, and at what table.
- The dealer is your friend. If they don’t act like it, find another dealer.
- Bet more when you are losing to chase your money, that’s a sure way to bury yourself and your bankroll.
Winning at Blackjack Do’s
- Remember that blackjack is a great game and more fun when you play well.
- Try to memorize the rules for winning.
- Make an occasional “toke” bet for the dealer, or hand them a chip for their efforts at an actual casino venue.
- Remember that you are in complete control of how long you play.
- Raise your bets a little when you are winning.
- Quit playing when you reach your pre-set win level or are not enjoying yourself.
