Compare to poker, which you may need to remember certain winning combination, blackjack does not require you to do so. The only thing that you need to understand is primary school mathematic calculation.

The purpose of blackjack is simple: whoever get the sum of two or more card points approximate or equal to 21 result in winning this game. If someone got a card sum more than 21, he/she is said to be lost.

Usually, a player receives two cards and dealer receives one. After the player know their cards, they have to make decision on whether they would hit or stand. When a person declares “Hit”, it means that the sum of his card points is not closed to 21 yet and need one more card. On the contrary if a person calls “Stand”, it means that his card points is approximate or equal to 21 and do not want cards from now on.

Players are allowed to get as many cards as they like, provided that their card points will not exceed 21. If it is over 21 then they lose.

Under these rules, there are some smart people who think of some strategies that can lower the chance to lose.  We would like to show you 5 secrets that can improve your winning rate.

1. If you are having 17 or higher, no hesitate to call “Stands”, and if you has a number from 13 to 16, but the dealer’s card is 6 or lower, choose “Stand” also. If the dealer has 7 or more, you may consider “Hit”.
The theory here is, if a dealer has 6 or lower and then he got a card, and assume that the next card is ten, the dealer cannot stop there but have to continue, so the dealer may have chance to lose. And therefore the other people may want to keep a lower card number.

The rule of thumb: player should always devise there strategy by assuming that the faced down card is 10.

2. If a player gets aces or 8, it is better to split them despite of the dealer showing card.

3. If you are getting 10, do not split in any case. If you do so you may bear a risk of getting busted.

4. If the dealer is showing 4, 5, or 6, it would be better for a player to stand on hard 12, or hit hard if the dealer is presenting 2, 3, 7, or higher.

5. Do not split 4, 5 or face card if you want to win.
