Easy at it may be, still there are players who don't even consider the rules before starting playing. If you don't know the rules or any of the playing strategies of blackjack, then read a bit about them and never rely on what you think you know or what you’ve heard from others. In 21 it’s best to always play on games that offer the fewest decks of cards. So, it’s good to look for a single deck game, games where double down is allowed on any two cards and after splitting pairs and for games where they allow multiple pair splitting.

Since the dealer has to hit on any hand 16 or lower, you don’t win with less than 17, unless the dealer busts. Take a hit on any hand below 17 when the dealer shows A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, or 8, cards that are unlikely to make him bust. Stand on any hand above 11 when the dealer has a 4, 5, or 6, cards that will make him bust more than 40% of the time. Don’t split 10's, 4’s, 5’s and face cards, but always split aces and 8's, no matter what the dealer's showing card is. If you have two cards of the same rank, you can split them, double your bet and therefore play two hands. Always split 8's or 7's if the dealer's card is of equal or lower value and split 2's or 3's against a 4, 5, or 6. Always join the deck from the begining. You should stay to full deck if you lose in first half and get out of the table if you have won in first half. Stand on hard 12 or higher if the dealer’s showing card is a 4, 5 or 6 and if it’s a 6 or lower, you should stand on hard 13 through 16. Hit if his showing card is a 7 through Ace.

Bet only what you can afford to lose! The wisest decision is to bet only 1/30th of your bankroll for the day. This way you may endure a period of continuous losses and your bankroll will still allow a reversal of chance to occur. Always keep in mind that you can’t always win, but don’t let this steal your self confidence. Focus on the dealer’s up card, not on your neighbor's cards. If the other players are upsetting, you with their playing strategies, you can move on to the next table.

Don’t take insurance, unless you feel that the dealer has blackjack, or if you are card counting and aware of the cards remaining in the deck. And last, but not least, the most important thing all gamblers should take into consideration is knowing when to quit. We all know that one can’t win forever on a blackjack table, and on any table. You should impose a table limit for yourself and if you keep losing take a break and save your money for another gaming session because after each rain, the sun will always come out and shine, eventually. Always be optimistic and don’t forget to apply these tips and tricks whenever you’re playing Blackjack. It is a game of skill and basically this is what you need to know to have some pretty considerable chances of winning.
