When playing blackjack, it is important to know how many chips you start with. Depending on the casino, the starting chips range from 2 to 5 thousand.
This number will determine how much money you are put into the hands of the dealer.
Generally speaking, it is best to start with more chips than you think you will need. This way, if you lose a hand, you will not be as disadvantaged.
Plus, if you hit a jack or a ten, you can either stand and risk losing your original bet or add more chips to your bet. This allows you to increase your chances of winning even if the dealer hits a seven or an ace.
Of course, there are always exceptions to this rule. If you are playing at a casino that favors the player, then you may want to reduce your chip stack accordingly.
Conversely, if you are playing at a casino that is more favorable to the house, then it may be wiser to start with more chips.
Ultimately, it is up to each player to decide how many chips they want to start with and how much money they are willing to risk on each hand.
