Know When to Hit During Blackjack
If you are going to the casino soon and need to know a tip or two about how to play blackjack, you should do some research to find all the tricks that the pros use. One such trick is to know when to hit. If you know when to hit and when to stay, you can go a long way to evening the odds between you and the casino. If you are lucky, you may even get the odds so even that you will be able to win some money. When you are playing blackjack, you are playing against the dealer. No one else at the table matters other than you and the dealer.
If the dealer deals out a twelve to you and is showing a five for him, you should not hit. Since he has five showing, you have to assume that he has fifteen. For this reason, he is going to have to hit and will most likely bust. This means that even if you have twelve you win. The dealer doesn’t have the choice to stay, even though he may have a number that beats you. This is where the strategy comes in when playing blackjack. You have the ability to decide what to do based on what the dealer has, while the dealer has to hit or stay based on what he has, no matter what. This is a great way to win in some hands when you normally wouldn’t. If you have over ten and the dealer is showing a five or a six, never hit.
