Blackjack also known as 21 is a popular casino game with the goal to have a higher total number than the dealer without going over 21. When a player or the banker goes over 21 this is known as "busting" and is an automatic loss to the hand.
After 2 cards have been dealt (2 face up cards for the player, 1 face up card and 1 face down card for the dealer) the player has the option to hit (take another card), stand (stay at the total of the two cards), split (split two cards of the same (ex. 8,8) into two hands), double down (take one card for double the money and no cards after that), or surrender.
We will get into when to perform these actions further down
I won 5 Bitcoins in an online casino that gave me an instant withdrawal
I joined a $10 minimum, $1,000 maximum bet table … at about 10 pm.I put down $30 on the first hand and won. I was using basic strategy and keeping a general estimate of how many 10's and face cards were left in the deck.
After I doubled my money I started to bet larger amounts with every winning hand, first $100, then $200 or $300. I also scaled down my bets after one losing hand, using laws of averages but not card counting. That basic scaling strategy worked well and i turned 0.1 bitcoin into 3.0 bitcoins.
MOST people feel the urge to bet more when they lose in attempt to get their money back and less when they win to keep their winnings. The casino has THE advantage the longer a player plays, therefore this method is destined to lose at some point. However, If you bet more when your winning than you are not only attempting to capture a winning streak but you are essentilly betting the casinos money (or your winnings). If you lose a hand you scale down your bets in hopes on catching an increasing winning streak.
How Many Decks?
Single deck games are hard to find in land-based or online casinos, however the fewer decks being used, the easier it is to keep track of face cards that have been used. When using basic strategy and having a general estimation of how many face cards have been used, the player can bet more or less depending on the odds at stake. When their is more face cards left in the shoe, the player has better odds at winning the hand. When their is less face cards left in the shoe, the player has less odds at winning the hand.
Basic Strategy...
Below is a cheat sheet that tells the player what to do when given every combination of cards in a deck with the card that is face up for the dealer.
Example: If the player has 14 and the dealer is showing 2-6 than the player shall stand. If the dealer is showing 7-10, or A than the player must take a hit.

They have been reliable with fast and safe withdraws .
My favorite part is you can bet on sports, casino games, slots, and even sit at virtual LIVE casino tables.
The most important advice is that it is still gambling. Know when to walk away. Nothing is guaranteed and do not risk more than you can afford.

Have fun walking away with WINS.
