Blackjack Basic Strategy - BY THE BOOK ONLY

[@eddie-xi6ls]

At 14:00 the second hand is player 12 vs dealer 3. Basic Strategy calls to hit and dealer says he never hits. The reason for hitting is that there are 9 cards that will make a hand for the player while only 4 cards that will bust.

[@Enigmaprince]

math is hard for u? Its at 13:00 not 14....

[@EndersGame6195]

@@Enigmaprince That isn't math, that's just misreading a number. Just because numbers are present doesn't make it math. English hard for you?🤣

[@aguywithcommonsense7503]

Yet without fail, I always pull one of the 4 cards that make you bust when hitting on a 12

[@tanguerogo]

there are only the 6, 7, 8 and 9 to give the player a winning hand, when he hits with 12. the 5 ight give you a push. still reasonable to hit. This video is a complete bs. "the book is a...the book is a..." "last time I was in Vegas the dealer had a hand because they did that..." - these amateurs don´t understand the slightest bit.

[@eddie-xi6ls]

Basic Strategy says NEVER EVER buy insurance. Table rule states that dealer STANDS on all 17's........good for the player. Also dealer pays 3:2 on blackjack good for the player. Remember prior to playing ALWAYS look at the table rules. NEVER EVER play a 6:5 blackjack table. As an example on a $100 bet a 3:2 table will pay $150 while a 6:5 table pays only $120.

[@rishabh5750]

The insurance comment depends. For the small fraction who are counting, and for the even smaller who are doing it right, deviation says you take insurance on a positive 3 or higher true count

[@FelipeSantos-ct9qg]

Not in Vegas some dealers have to hit on a soft 17 meaning you could get fucked by black jack

Why are you criticising the book? Mathematically it's the correct play! It doesn't guarantee you a win! 😇

[@nills2gills811]

Mathematically perfect according to the book is a losing strategy, so no it’s not

[@Ki14-Valdez]

⁠@@nills2gills811The book still gives you the best mathematical odds at winning. The slight loss percentage by even following the book perfectly is called the casinos edge.

[@UraStr]

It guarantees you loose...but you loose the least amount, you need to count cards and scale your bets to win

[@phillipdavidhaskett7513]

It's relevant to note for all aspiring card counters that a positive or negative count only informs how to play certain hands. MOST of the time you still play basic strategy because there's nothing else to do, and you therefore must be able to play basic perfectly. And doubling a ten against a dealer's ace (2:25) is so risky I'd do it only on a highly positive deck.

[@alanv3185]

Thank you. Went to the casino for the first time ever and turned $100 into $700 playing 6 to 5 blackjack. I'm learning how to perfect basic strategy and card count before heading back for a second time lol.

[@Luca-dk3mb]

card counting also tells you when to increase or decrease your bet, since it changes your odds of getting a black jack

[@phillipdavidhaskett7513]

@@Luca-dk3mb And the dealer has the same chance of getting that blackjack.

@@phillipdavidhaskett7513 but on dealer blackjack you loose 1x and your black jack you win 1,5x...so more blackjacks overall is advantageous for the player, also never play 6 to 5, terrrrrible rules...like 4xworse than 3:2

[@judithradjabolognaise8982]

@@johnstewwy881Because you either got pretty lucky or lost count on your losses. By playing basic strategy you only loose less, i.e the edge of the bank is (a lot) less.

[@JS78012]

Here’s dealer and 1 player by the book but then you add 2 or more players now you have a different scenario and your in the hands of the other player’s who are playing by their book!

[@Dorkifier937]

⁠​⁠@@JS78012spoken like most. Math is math, your loss can be mitigated by using your brain. Basic strategy doesn’t change because there’s more players. Study a little harder and you just might get there. If other players at the table are why you think you’re losing or winning, you don’t understand the game your playing.

[@tanguerogo]

you should use space camera to make the cards much smaller still.

[@mehdinchina186]

It's good to spread awarness about playing blackjack well, but that table is no peek, for example 11 vs 10 is a double in dealer peeks games. and you would also always split 8s and Aces against anything...

[@daviddakin9590]

[@wumpty93]

Never split 10's, always split Ace's and 8's, never play "blackjack 5-6 payouts."

[@FrankieMidnight]

I got a running count of 18 at the end. I hope im right. But i feel im off.

[@leorog2491]

got that too

[@VilhelmVB]

I got 16, since the count is this high, a 2 number difference isn't a big deal, if it was lower than it would be catastrophic. (It could be 18 if I counted wrong, I'm not 100% at counting yet).

[@believeyoume-nj2mt]

You need to include a running tally on where you stand money wise..

[@tigreblanco8415]

The count ended on a +14 right?

[@nathanwood7492]

I'm guessing if your at a table with other players and someone not going by the book wouldn't that throw odd of using book away?

[@UraStr]

nah, the outcome of the cards that are face down is always random, no matter when the dealer gets to draw the card...no matter what anybody does you still get the "same" random cards and the dealer still gets the "same" random cards

[@JaidosAU]

just tried using the Blackjack card online and went from $100 to $400 in just 30 minutes doing the martingale System Started from $2 starting unit only issue was table max bet was $80 i still didnt reach near the max table limit so im happy :D max i got too was a $32 bet

[@saytoefish9291]

just an fyi, martingale increases the chances that you walk away with a win, but when you lose, you lose more. And it is losing in the long run. I had a friend lose $1300 after losing 8 roulette spins in a row from martingale. make sure to walk away and not do it often!

[@trixer230]

The book was made using computer simulations which depend on a full or mostly full table to "play out" correctly.... a person didnt "write the book" a computer simulated an uncountable number of hands and then recorded which moves won the most. This chart or "basic strategy" is the result of these simulations. Also how can the dealer be showing 12 to hit 12vs12? I feel like these dudes just get really lucky at the casino and are blaming the book for it.
