Busting the Myths Around Blackjack

Many people believe the way to win at blackjack is to count cards. You can also win games by chance, which is how the game is meant to be played. We really doubt that the creator of the game had any idea that people would try and create strategies to beat the system. Card counting though is the most common strategy used, but it isn’t the only winning formula. It is just the point that the other ways to win are less known and can be less effective.

The other myth about counting cards is that you have to be a mathematician as good as Albert Einstein. This is not the case whatsoever. The counting procedure is very simple and straightforward, anyone can do it.  Some people do it by counting the cards as they come out of the shuffle, or some practice by counting the trees on the morning commute. This results in an automatic counting system that will tell the player when the deck is hot or cold.

People often think that playing at an online casino gives them a lower chance of winning at blackjack because you are playing against a computer instead of a live dealer. Online casino blackjack is pretty much the same thing as blackjack in a real-life casino, except that the cards are shuffled by a software program instead of an actual dealer. The cards are mixed every game at an online casino, whereas live dealers use multiple decks and normally shuffle them all after about 75% of the deck has been used. This means that you can’t count the cards when playing online.

Most online casinos nowadays use automatic shuffler, so most operate similarly, so there aren’t any real notable differences between the online versions of blackjack. You can also try playing with a live dealer if you think you can “read” the dealer, guess what cards they have and therefore increase your chances of winnings like you would in a normal casino.

Many people think that it will take a while to learn how to play blackjack. This is not entirely the case. There are very few rules of how to play blackjack at a casino and there are some rules that the dealers have to follow as well.
