Split Sixes in Blackjack
The decision to split sixes in blackjack can be difficult, especially if you’re playing against a skilled player. If you decide to split sixes, it’s important to keep the following factors in mind:
1. The odds of splitting 6s are about 1 in 22.
2. Splitting sixes generally leads to a loss, since the dealer has a higher hand than you and can give you nothing but a six.
3. It’s important to remember that splitting sixes doesn’t always guarantee a win – you still have to beat the dealer’s hand.
In fact, if the dealer has an ace or a five, splitting sixes won’t help you at all.
4. If you decide to split sixes, it’s important to do so quickly – the odds of the dealer hitting a blackjack are getting shorter every day!.
