BlackJack basic strategy

Black Jack is the intelligent game. Luck will not be enough to become a winner. Those who count risks, their own and dealer`s scores win.

If you would like to guess the dealer`s final combination by the first exposed card, this table will help you:

INITIAL CARD RESULTS
  17 18 19 20 21 overage
2 13,9 13,5 13,0 12,4 11,8 35,4
3 13,7 13,0 12,5 12,0 11,4 37,4
4 13,0 12,6 12,1 11,7 11,1 39,5
5 12,3 12,3 11,7 11,3 10,8 41,6
6 16,6 10,6 10,6 10,2 9,7 42,3
7 36,9 13,8 7,8 7,9 7,4 26,2
8 13,1 35,9 12,9 6,9 6,9 24,3
9 12,3 12,0 35,1 12,0 6,1 22,5
10, J, Q, K 11,3 11,1 11,1 34,2 11,1 21,2
A 13,1 13,1 13,1 13,1 36,1 11,5

With the initial 10 (J, Q, K) dealer has the chance of 7,7% to get blackjack. With the initial ace this chance rises to 30,8%.

Having analyzed and studied the table, you may invent your own strategy. The next two tables are for those who want to use ready strategies.

This strategy includes 2 variants of initial dealing: ace - soft variant, without ace - rough variant. Having determined your variant and the dealer`s first card, you will know the strategy.

"+" means that you should take the card, "Spl" means the division of cards if possible, "D" - double stake:

Rough variant:
