Playing the popular card game blackjack, many players believe obrastayut and speculation, acceptance of any situational decisions. Often these conclusions they are doing wrong in terms of probability of winning / losing. For instance, every professional player knows what to do split in two dozen can not under any circumstances, but this rule is respected by no means all. Next 10 errors, most subtle perception that decisions are taken correctly.
Do not take the card at 12 when the dealer Two or Three. "Every time I take the card at 12, I always get 10 and lose, so that, instead, I skipped and allows the dealer to take the map" - a typical cause, as declared by the players experiencing a very unpleasant feeling to take on 12 to 2 or 3, because they are afraid to take the top ten and lose. Especially do not want to take the card player, sitting at the last box, because "he does not want to take the card dealer faced redundancy." However, 12 points somewhat different from most other "hard" hands, because in fact the player has 9 out of 13 chance that will not be over. Also, the dealer is not so vulnerable, with 2 or 3, as with 4, 5 or 6. But even if taking stake, 12 to 2 or 3 dealer - a losing hand. But this is still better than not to take stake by 2-4%. Therefore, to take on 12 to 2 or 3 right decision, not because it wins more often, but because it rarely loses.
Do not split at Eight, when the dealer 9. "16 to 9 - lose. Why should we increase the loss, making the split?" Yes, 16 to 9 - bad hand. In fact, this is - one of the worst-hand blackjack, with whom you might encounter. But, making the split could transform this bad hand in the two best hands, where much better chance of victory. Even so, both eight, eventually, lose, but less than with 16% at 5-12. Therefore, to make a split Eight 9 against the dealer - the cheapest way to go in such a bad situation.
Always take "even money" for blackjack. "I always take the same money, because it is one of the few guaranteed winnings in the game." Yes, guarantee equal prize money equal to the amount of initial rate regardless of whether the dealer blackjack or not. Thus, if put on the $ 10, and take even money, you can always win $ 10. However, if you do not borrow, the average victory will be $ 10.40 (this is 4% more money). Why? Approximately 9 times out of 13 the dealer would not blackjack, and the winnings will be $ 15 with $ stavke10. Other four times the dealer will be blackjack and, accordingly, nothing. So, upon termination of the equalization money winnings at a rate of $ 10 for 13 times amount to $ 135, which is $ 5 more than "confident" victory. Even besides that very seduces a guaranteed win, this is - one of those cases where a crane in the sky better than tits in his hand.
Do not take the card with an ace and 7 (soft 18), when the dealer 9, 10 or ace. "I never change a good arm - 18." The most typical Blackjack players believe that 18 - good hands, which should never be changed. However, if these 18 are composed of Ace and 7, and the dealer 9, 10 or ace, the player has a negative expectation (which means, ultimately, that he will lose more money than win). The reason is that a dealer will usually gain more than 18. For example, when the dealer 10, the chance that he will eventually be 19 or 20 is 52%. Take a map - the right move, because there is a chance to improve the combination. Taking stake in the soft 18, the player improves the status of about 8% when the dealer 9 and approximately 4%, when 10. Against Ace chances with the dealer to "grab" or "not to take" roughly the same, but still in favor of "grab".
Make split in two dozen to 6. "Even if I did not come good card, the dealer lot of chances to go." Despite the fact that the dealer has a high probability of running over to Six, a dozen pair, representing 20 points, is one of the strongest kobminatsy player - breaking them impractical for dubious benefits. The advantage of the player when he does not split Six against 0.7040% if ago - 0.4517%
Never do sarendu. "Why should I refuse to fight?" Most players would not give up, because they do not understand what this means or because they do not want to "be broken without a fight." But there are options when sarendu need to do, because, ultimately, it will save some money. When a player shall then loses 50% rate. Therefore, sarendu always be done when the chance to lose more than 50%. And this is when the player has 16 to 9, 10 or Ace dealer (but not 8 and 8), and when 15 to 10, the dealer.
Do not make split in two nine against the dealer 9. "No that will not force me to risk the loss of two rates against the strong 9 points the dealer." Split devyatok to 9, the dealer may resemble the deadly game, but, ultimately, it will save money. If a player remains at 18, he is in a bad situation, because the dealer will often end with the standard 19. However, if you do split, then the player has already done a lot of chances on 19 points, and sometimes even better. Even with that sometimes a player loses in both boxes, ultimately, the risk is justified because the savings of about 8% of all money involved in such hands.
Waive stake at 16 to 7, the dealer. "Every time I take the card at 16, I'm going, so I will maintain my ability to win, not taking the map". Yes, the player often loses when taking on 16, but it refundable so that when there is no running over, the chance to win is very high. If the card does not take, the chance to win is 40% if all the same to take - 48%. The player will still lose, but consolation - that he would lose by 8 cents less per dollar, involved in a hand.
Waive map on an ace and 6 (soft 17) against the dealer 7. "I have the chance to stay with their so why risk, taking card?" This is a big mistake. In fact, this hand is one of those rare opportunities in blackjack, a player can make losing winning combination. If a player does not take a map, he loses an average of 10 cents of every dollar, and if takes, then wins 6 cents. This is one of those cases where the card must necessarily take.
To do dabl for lower cost than the original bid. "I am not quite sure, win or lose, making dabl, so I make a compromise and not all udvoyu bid." Nothing so not wondered how a player acts, realizing not at all a combination of strong advantage. This is the same as a cut bitches, sitting on. When a player makes dabl, he rarely wins, but it increases the net benefit because of the additional money. When he makes dabl in less amount of money he was not receiving full benefits. This can not be done.
