Rated Online Casinos - Blackjack Strategy & Tips

Online blackjack is one of the most popular and entertaining casino games played. You can increase your chances of winning by avoiding a few common mistakes frequently made by online blackjack players and following basic blackjack strategy and tips outlined on this page. Since the best online casinos draw cards completely randomly, there is no need to master complicated or advanced blackjack techniques, but it helps to know some of the basics involved.

Not surrendering

When you have a losing hand against a dealer's strong hand, you'll be better off if you surrender. (For example 15 against a dealer's 10)

Not doubling down against a dealer's strong hand

It sounds risky, but it pays off if you double down even though the dealer shows a strong hand such as a 10.

Not splitting 9's agains a dealer's 9

Having two 9's (18) sounds like a good hand, but you'll be better off if you split because the dealer has a good chance of coming up with a better hand.

Standing on 16 against a dealer's 7

Even if you stand in this case, there's a good chance the dealer will beat you, so take the hit.

Standing on A+6 against a dealer's 7

Same as above. The dealer has a good chance of beating you so take the hit.

Standing on a soft 18 (A + 7)

Again, 18 sound like a good hand, but in reality, there's a strong chance the dealer will beat you. Take the hit.

Taking even money

This sounds like the safe way to go, but you'll make more money in the long run if you don't take even money.

Not hitting on 12

You have a very slim chance of busting when you hit on a 12. Take the hit.

Not splitting 8's on a dealer's strong hand.

16 is never a good hand. Although you might lose both hands, you'll be better of to the take the chance and split.
