black jack tips

Welcome to the Blackjack Tips Section at Enterbet.com Online Casino Conditions. The following information dishes out the most common and accepted blackjack strategy known to professional gamblers (called the basic blackjack strategy). Following this (at the bottom of the page), there are links to individual blackjack tips which shed a little more light on the game (tips which only experience and sometimes a little more theorizing can produce). These are a little bit more specialized than our General Gambling Tips Section, which covers a wider range of topics. Before, you break out the basic blackjack strategy chart and start to try and memorize every possible action and card scenario, take to time to digest the strategy in all of its rhyme and reason. By doing so, you will be far better off when the time comes to consult a strategy card:
Regardless of how low a casinos advantage is for a gambling game, the fact remains that all betting games are operated by a degree of chance. What is hopeful is that this degree of chance can be predicted more accurately in some situations and games than others.
Blackjack is one such game that facilitates the use of a strategy that can help players make the best decisions based on odds, or mathematical probability - not on luck or intuition. This is why the following tips are indeed based on mathematical probability determined by computer analysis, and readily compiled into what is known as the Basic Blackjack Strategy. These days, players will often see this strategy printed on a card in the form of a table with numbers and single letters. Although this can be a very helpful tool, I personally find this kind of chart to be too intellectual and heady, making the basic blackjack strategy either too intimidating to learn for players, or simply, too difficult to truly grasp without being a genius. Without saying the following tips are essentially "Blackjack for Dummies", I will say the following is an organized collection of tips that are based on the basic blackjack strategy, thereby insuring the lowest House Odds possible when playing online blackjack.
The tips are based on a few factors: What the dealer's face-up card is, what the player's hand total is, whether the player's hand is a soft or hard hand, and whether to hit, stand, double down, or split. (Taking insurance is not considered a factor, except that it is advised to abstain from in all scenarios).
Sound simple? Well, it really is - especially with some drilling and practice. Before reading on, be sure you understand what a hard and soft hand is (below) and that you are familiar with the rules of the game, so that you will understand some of the terms I will be throwing about.
Hard Hands are two card hands composed of any card except an Ace. They can be classified as pat, no-bust or stiff, which is for your information only, and not needed to master the basic strategy. Stiff hands are those that are valued from 12 to 16, which pose a risk of busting when hitting an additional card. No-bust hands are like the name says, in that they cannot bust no matter what value an additional hit card is. These hands total from 4 to 11. Pat hands are those that do not need, or rather, should not receive a hit. These hands range in value from 17 to 21, and are considered the best initial hands a player can receive.
Soft Hands are hands composed of an Ace and another card of any value. In this case, the Ace will count as an eleven, since no matter the value of the other card (except another Ace, in which case you would split the hand anyways) the hand cannot bust by going over twenty-one. It is only when the hand receives a hit and the Ace must be counted as a 1 to keep from busting, that the soft hand becomes a hard hand.
