Blackjack is often considered as a simple game, which rely on pure luck, but the truth is far from it. In this text we would like to teach players some tactics and strategies for blackjack.  In blackjack, a random player- has the most chance of winning the casino.

Let’s say you are playing alone against the dealer. He deals you 9 and 3 (if anyone forgot- the suits makes no difference in blackjack), and to himself a 6. Let’s take the best case scenario and say the other card he got is 10. Should you take another card? Well, of course! Even though he has 16! The dealer has to get to 17, he must take another card- the chances he’ll bust by getting a card worth from 6 to 10 are about 53%. The chances you’ll bust are about 30%. Always take the best percentage in order to win. Even if it doesn’t seem like the right thing to do- it is. Gambling, even in online casinos, is a very emotional thing- don’t let feeling take over common sense!

Next example: The dealer has an ace, you got a 10 and a jack. Should you bet on the dealer for insurance?
Well the chances the dealer has a 10 worth card are 50%. If you bet on him and he got a 10, you’ll lose your initial bet and win 3 times of the insurance bet meaning you’ll get up to 150% of your initial bet. What are the odds that will happen? About 27%.When the odds are this kind of percentage – you shouldn’t even look at them.
