Online Blackjack casino strategy

If you want to win lots of money playing online blackjack in the Pinnacle Sports Casino, then learning some Blackjack strategy is vital.

You might be thinking that everything is simply down to the luck of the cards but there's a lot more to Blackjack than that. And having a Blackjack strategy is very important.  

Online Blackjack strategy

Beat the dealer

Blackjack strategy will teach you that the game isn't all about getting as close to or hitting 21. It's great if you can do that but your main task is to beat the dealer.

This knowledge will help you learn how to win at Blackjack, and then you can start beating the dealer and winning money.

Freedom

In Blackjack, the player has more freedom than the dealer. You can choose to play your hand in whatever way you want too. Every decision is entirely yours.

That's not the case for the dealer who has to abide by house rules and must stand at 17 or over. 

Use your knowledge

The big advantage you have is that you get to see one of the dealer's cards, allowing you to make an educated estimate of how the hand will develop.

Blackjack strategy charts

Basic Blackjack strategy charts are widely available online.  The bonus of playing online is that you can print out these charts and continually refer to it while you're playing.

Blackjack strategy declares that your hand can fall into one of two categories - hard and soft totals.

A hard total is one in which you haven't been dealt an ace. If you have been lucky enough to be given an ace then that's a soft total. Why?  Well the ace has two values 1 and 11 so that's going to be a big help to you.

Example:

The charts show you how to win at Blackjack based on the hand you have been dealt and the one card you know the dealer has.

If your two cards total 16 do you hit or stand? The basic Blackjack strategy chart suggests if the dealer has a card between 2 and 6 then you should stand and let them hit more cards.

If the dealers card is 7 or more then you should hit. Why?

Well there's more cards in the pack with a value of 10 than any other. That means the dealer is likely to be on 17 after their next card causing them to stand and beat your 16.

You might think it's crazy to hit on 16 but it could be your only chance of winning.
