Blackjack is a casino game that has been around for centuries. It is a simple game that is based on odds. The player bets on whether the dealer will hit or not.
If the player bets on the black side, and the dealer hits, then the player loses their bet. If the player bets on the red side, and the dealer hits, then the player wins their bet.
There are several variations of blackjack, but the basic rules are unchanged. In all variations, there is a deck of cards that is divided into two suits-clubs and spades. The cards are dealt face down to each player, one at a time. The player can either stand or fold.
If they stand, they can either hit or take another card. If they fold, they lose their bet and the deal passes to the next player.
The objective of blackjack is to beat the dealer by getting as close to 21 as possible without going over. The dealer starts with a hand consisting of two face down cards-a 10 and a 2. The 10 counts as 1 point and the 2 counts as 1 point also. The dealer then turns over his second card-a 3.
Now, because 3 is higher than both of the original cards, it becomes a count-card. The next card dealt will be either an Ace (1 point) or a Two (2 points). The Ace counts as 1 point plus any other points counted from before it (the 10 and 2), so if there were already 3 points being counted from before (4 total), then the Ace would count as 4 points and another card would not be played. Now that we know how to count points in blackjack, let’s take a look at what happens if we get close to 21 without going over:.
If we have 19 or 20 (counting as even numbers), we would add 1 to our total-making it 20-and then discard any other card that was dealt after our initial two cards were turned over (either an Ace or Two). If we had 18 or 19, we would add 2 to our total-making it 21-and discard any other card that was dealt after our initial two cards were turned over (either an Ace or Two).
And finally, if we had 17 or less, we would just keep going until we got up to 21 without adding anything else-discarding any other card that was dealt after our initial two cards were turned over (either an Ace or Two).
Now let’s take a look at what happens if we go over 21:
In this case, we would add 1 to our total-making it 22-and then discard any other card that was dealt after our initial two cards were turned over (either an Ace or Two). We would also add another point to our count for every 10 units above 21 that was counted-(for example, if someone had 23 instead of 21 in their hand, they would add 2 more points to their total making it 24).
And finally, if someone had 22 in their hand they would continue counting down like normal but stop when they got down to 0 points-(in this case 22 would be counted as 0 points). So in general, if you go over 21 in blackjack you lose your hand and have to start all over again from zero.
