Advanced Blackjack Strategy

Blackjack is not an easy game and it requires a lot of skills and good strategy for you to bring the odds to your favor. One advanced technique in dealing with blackjack is the card counting. A blackjack player must learn first the basic strategies of the game before they can actually master the card counting technique. And by mastering this strategy, you will be assured then that you have a greater chance of winning the odds.

The concept of blackjack card counting technique is that when the deck of card is filled with the 10s and the aces, this will then be favored to your advantage. While the dealer's deck is packed with smaller cards, it is still to their advantage. A player must bet a maximum amount if then the deck comes out to your favor and make a minimum bet when the favor is on the dealer.

The reason to this is that the deck filled the 10 can increases the chances of the dealer being bust. However, you can always opt to stand. In the opposite side, a deck that is filled with small cards allows the dealer to get busted less. If you have an idea whether the deck has more 10s or more smaller cards, you will have the advantage of formulating the best strategy to use.

The dealer on the other hand must always hit to achieve a soft 17. Hitting a hand that has a 10 and 6 while having in mind that the deck is packed with 10s is such a bad idea. If the deck has more aces, then there is a big chance that you may hit the 21. When a player has the blackjack, the odds pay off are 3:2. The dealer can only win if he gets the blackjack. This is the reason why the deck that is filled with aces always go to the player's advantage.

Blackjack card counting technique is not just memorizing each and every card that has already come out of the 6 deck shoe. If you were able to memorize all the cards, you must be really good. Also this technique is not done through assigning different card numbers that has different point values. Remember to always pick a system that can be easily remembered. This will allow few mistakes and you most likely will lose lesser money.

As previously mentioned. You have to assign a point of value in every card and you to add all the value of all the cards that have already come out.
