The perfect pair in blackjack is a hand consisting of two cards with the same rank, such as 2 of spades and 2 of clubs. When these cards are combined, the player has a guaranteed win.
Theoretically, any other combination of cards would also give the player a guaranteed win, but the perfect pair is particularly advantageous.
The odds of hitting a perfect pair are 1 in 36. As long as the player keeps a close eye on their hand, they can usually spot when they have hit a perfect pair.
At that point, they should either cash out or try to make an additional bet to increase their chances of winning.
A player who does not have a perfect pair will likely lose money if they stay in the game. The house edge on blackjack is about 0.
5%, so it’s not worth it for most players to risk losing even more money by trying to hit a perfect pair.
