this is part one of a two-part series with five tips in this part
and another five tips in part to hi
and welcome to park one of our two-part series on the top 10 tips for beginning
blackjack players
in this first part we're going to talk all about what kinda blackjack games you
should avoid
and then we'll talk about some other table etiquette involved
later on in part two we'll talk some more about table etiquette
and then finish up with some advice and how to use the proper strategies
so if you're already learned about blackjack let's begin
number one don't play 625 blackjack games
traditionally blackjack games are paid 322
whenever a player is dealt the Blackjack however in recent years some casinos
have reduced that payoff from three to two
to only six to five which results in a lower win for the players
as an example if you bet ten dollars and get a blackjack
322 payoff would be fifteen dollars while the 625 payoff would be only
twelve dollars
this result in a much higher mathematical edge for the casino
and you should avoid these games as a matter of fact
by just making this one change in the payoff for Black Jacks
the casinos can raise their advantage by over 300 percent
so once again make sure you avoid the 625 blackjack games
number two don't play at tables that use a continuous shuffling machine
traditionally once all the cards have been played
either that the other or an automatic shuffling machine will shuffle the cards
before they are put back into play
with a continuous shuffling machine however
there is no break in play because the discarded placed directly into the
continuous shuffling machine
which will keep shopping cart after every and display
end result is that more hands will be played per
our and on average you will lose more money
simply because you're playing more hands and one more thing
if you want to count cards then for sure you want to avoid these games because
card counting
won't work against the continuous shelling machine number three
check the table minimum before you sit down
if you're a ten dollar blackjack player you don't want to mistakenly sit at a
twenty five dollar minimum bet table
so be sure to check the table minimum before you sit down
there will always be a placard or sign at each table that shows the minimum bet
for that table
so be sure to look for tbe for you sit down number four
don't answer in the middle of a shoe game if it's not allowed
some blackjack tables have a sign that says no Michu entry
and that means once the first Carter doubt you can't make a bet and to all
the cards in the shoe have been dealt out
and I knew she was put into play if you ask the casino why they have this role
probably say it for the convenience of their players so they aren't bothered by
new players and a ranked game until the shoot was finished
but the real reason is to stop card counters
what are the methods card counters can use is to stand at the table without
betting
and watch the Carters they're being played once the county's
favorable they can then jump in with a big bat
however within no Michu entry roll the card counters are prevented from doing
this
so before you jump into a game that's already in progress
be sure to check if it's allowed at that particular table
number five don't hand your money directly to the dealer
when you for sit down at a blackjack table you need to exchange for cash for
chips
but don't had your money directly to the dealer casinos don't want players and
dealers in direct contact with each other
because there could be collusion to steal chips
therefore you should place your money on the table in front of your bedding box
that the other will then take it and spread it out on the table to count it
out
then slide the corresponding number of chips to you but don't touch the chips
into the dealer removes his hat
this procedure issues so that the overhead security cameras can see the
transaction
and make sure that it was handled properly
that's it for part one of our video on the top 10 tips for beginning blackjack
