Many online casino games disregard players' talent and generally the house has a statistical advantage over the players. This advantage will play itself out in the long run, but Blackjack is a game whose outcome is greatly influenced by the player's gambling choice and it is possible to reduce the casino advantage to a small percentage by learning a bit of basic strategy. The basic strategy is based on a statistical analysis and the fact that the player may choose to double down or split when favorable and gets paid 3:2 for Blackjack. Whereas the dealer must adhere to the rules and stand on 17 and above, cannot double down or split and only gets paid 1:1 for blackjack.
Always stand on 17 or better Always hit on 12-16 when dealer shows 7 or higher Always hit on 8 or less Always double down on 11. When the dealer shows 9 or lower, double down on 10 When the dealer shows 6 or lower, double down on 9 Always stand on soft 19 and 20. Always double down on soft 13-18 when dealer shows 4, 5, or 6. Always split aces and 8's. Never split 10-face cards and never split 5's. Always split 3's and 2's when the dealer shows 4, 5, 6, or 7
