There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the sock will vary in shape, size and color depending on the individual’s preference. However, a blackjack sock typically consists of two parts: a black fabric sock, and a white fabric “base” or “pad” that sits inside the black sock.
The purpose of the base is to protect your foot from the hardwood or casino floor; it also provides a smooth surface on which to play blackjack. The base can be made from different materials, such as cotton, polyester or foam.
Most people use a blackjack sock when playing blackjack because it gives them an advantage over other players. By placing their foot on the white base, players can keep their hands closer to the cards – making it easier to identify which card is being played – and minimizes the amount of time that their hands are visible to the dealer.
Additionally, by wearing a blackjack sock, players can hide their hand from the dealer – who is typically tasked with identifying player hands – and fool other players into thinking that they have more cards than they actually do.
