Playing blackjack by yourself can be a daunting task, but with a few simple tips and tricks, it can be made much easier.
The first step is to gather all of the necessary materials. You will need a set of casino blackjack cards, a money clip or other way to keep track of your bet, and an opponent.
You can find an opponent online or in person at a casino.
Once you have all of the materials, the next step is to familiarize yourself with the rules of blackjack. The basic rules are as follows:
You must make a bet before you draw cards.
You must place chips on the table before you draw cards.
You must hit if you have 16 or more total points after counting up your hand and any wildcards that were used. If you have less than 16 total points, you must draw two cards and then hit if you have an even number of points after drawing those two cards.
If you have an odd number of points after drawing your two cards, you must hit or stand depending on whether your point total is greater than or less than 11.
If you are playing against another player, any bet that you make must be at least half of the other player’s bet. For example, if the other player puts $10 on the table and you put $5 in chips, then your bet would be $2.50 and the other player’s bet would be $7.
50. If both players put in equal wagers (for example, both players put $10 in chips), then both players’ bets would be $11 and there would be no point at which either player could win or lose.
