The good thing about Blackjack is its simplicity; you are playing against the dealer — just one party — and it is very easy to focus on situations and winning factors and be that much profitable. A lot of gamblers I know love to play at Blackjack tables because they can assess the situation quickly and come up with a set of actions that much faster. Blackjack strategies are also very easy to understand; you don’t really know how to count cards to ensure a profitable session. The key lies in understanding your dealer’s moves.

In Blackjack, the dealer moves according to certain rules. These rules are generally the same in every casino and you will soon realize that playing Blackjack in different casino can be done using the same strategy. The dealer moves according to two controlling rules. The first one is to stand whenever their cards is totaling up at 17 or above. Dealer’s Aces are worth strictly 11, according to the second rule, although some casinos oblige dealers to hit on soft 17 and stand on soft 18.

With the two controlling rules in mind, you can easily formulate a winning strategy. Remember that you are playing against, and only against, the dealer at Blackjack table. You can make better decisions and move according the relative strength of your cards to win the game. Knowing that your dealer must play their hand through a specified way can aid you in assessing the relative strength of your hand and predict the possible move by the dealer according to the open card you see.
