How Do You Use the Basic Strategy in Blackjack?

The basic strategy for blackjack is to try to hit 21 or exceed the dealer’s hand (plus the house edge of 0.5%). To do this, you should aim to keep your hand as close to 21 as possible, without going over.

To make this easier, casinos often give you a range of hands in which you are allowed to play (e.g. 7-10). Once you have decided which hand to play, here are a few tips to follow:.

1) Keep your cards close to the deck – Don’t spread your cards out too much on the table, as this will make it more difficult for you to hit 21.

2) Stay calm – Trying to force a draw when you have a good hand will only result in disaster. Instead, stay cool and take your time playing each card.

3) Don’t overstay your welcome – If the dealer starts showing signs of impatience (e.g. by counting cards more frequently), it is time to bring your hand down and end the round.
