  1. Fly to Vegas, with fat purse, they will teach you the blackjack.

    I


  2. its dead easy it just 21 were you have to try and get 21 in other words but if you get to a number like 15 or over stand coz there is a chance you get a card that can out you over 21

  3. The object of BJ is to make the dealer bust (go over 21) If you play it this way always assume the dealer has a 10 count down. If he has a 6 or less showing he will have to draw. Chances are he will bust. If he busts you win as long as you don't take a card and bust your self.

  4. you can not go over 21 k,Q,and J... sometime Aces can be 1 or a higher

  5. hit on 16, stay on 17

  7. Basic strategy is the best idea otherwise, but the house still maintains a .5% advantage in that case. Other strategy systems generally give even more of an advantage to the house. Most casinos don't mind people with their own systems, since they still have an advantage.

    Generally, you can make money through blackjack with proper betting and strategy. However, you can also lose money.

  8. you get dealt two cards

    one face up and one face down

    the aim of the game is to get 21 or as close to it as you can and beat the house (dealer)

    if you go over you lose

    all numbers are what they are

    face cards are 10

    an ace can be 11 or 1

    if you want another card you say hit (ex. you have a 4 and a 2 you say hit and get another card)

    if you dont want you say stay

    if you have two of the same card you can split and play two hands

  9. This is the detailed version http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackjack, but basically:

    Cards are worth face value, except K, Q, J which are worth 10. Aces are either 1 or 11.

    Object of the game is to beat the dealer's score without busting (going over a combined count of your cards of 21). You do this by asking for extra cards or by having a 'natural' blackjack dealt to you at the start.

    You bet your stake.

    Dealer deals you a card face up. Dealer deals themself one card, face up. Dealer deals you a second card face up and deals himself one face down.

    Let's say you have two kings (a count of 20) and the dealer has an Ace showing. You choose: 'Stick' (stay with two Kings) or 'twist/hit' (ask for another card).

    Most casinos play with more than one deck of cards. However, if in our example, there is only one deck, you can only improve your hand by drawing an Ace. As the dealer has one in our example, that means there are only two Aces left in the pack. Chances are, you will draw a 2 or higher and score above 21 thereby 'busting' your hand - so you stick.

    The dealer would turn his card over and add up his total and he would choose stick/twist until one of you wins or his hand is busted. If he has 19 you win. If he has 21, he wins.

    That's basically it. However, if you go to a casino for real, there are many more options. For example, if the dealer is showing an Ace, you can buy 'insurance' against a blackjack. If the dealer has a blackjack, he wins automatically unless you also have one. If you tie, it is called a 'push'. If you are dealt two of the same cards (like in the example above, with two kings) you can split them, add some more stake money to the second hand and play them as two separate hands. You can 'double down' which means you double your initial wager and take just one more card only (sometimes useful if you have 10 or 11 after adding up both your cards). Dealers must stand on 17 or higher in most casinos.
