Blackjack Strategy
With time and practice you will become good at blackjack, but in order to be one of those players that dominate the table you have to have a good blackjack strategy. You can learn these by reading this site or books, but to actually be proficient at it you will have to play the real thing. At first you can start with the free blackjack software we provide or the free online casino software packages that are offered here as well.
The blackjack strategy that I will be showing you here is the basic, yet not so basic hit and stand guide. All of what is listed on this chart will actually make sense to you after you play for a while and if you give it any considerable thought. For instance, if I was the dealer and I had a 6 of spades showing (not that the spade has anything to do with it) and you had a total of 18, then you would want to stand. Because of the rules of the game, me as the dealer has to hit when I have 17 or below, so you knowing I have a 6 card showing my highest possible hand would be 17. With that in mind most likely I will have to hit and if I do then I probably will bust. So you see how that type of strategy can increase your odds of winning.
Take a look at the chart below, and try using it in some of the software that I have provided for you here.
