blackjack craps mississippi Stud
and sick bro now here's michael Shackleford
blackjack is one of the best that's on the casino
if you remember just one thing about blackjack it should be
to never play 625 blackjack referring to how much
a black chick peas always insist on the full three to two
up other than that you should still hunt around for good rules the fewer the
decks the better
it's good if the dealer stands in a sauce 17
it's going to go into laughter split surrender is places
but if you remember all that just remember never ever ever
play 625 blackjack I'm gonna go over with you my simple
wizards basic strategy to blackjack this is a little different than the standard
basic strategy but this is much easier to remember
and as almost as good first of all if you have
8 or less points just hit if you have nine points then we gotta talk about
small cars and big cards if the dealer has a small card showing
up meaning it to through a6 then you double
if the dealer has a big carte menu 7 through an ace
then you just hit it with 10
or in 11 then you double down if you have
more points than dealer for example if you have a 10
nuff the dealer has a9 or less if you have an 11
and a dealer has a $10 or less then you double down
with a 12 to a 16 which you'll see all the time
stand if the dealer has a small cart
hit if he has a big heart now let's talk about the soft hands
those our hands were you haven't a senior hand if
you have a soft 15 or less just
always hit if you have a soft 16:02
18 double if the dealer showing a small cart
hit otherwise if you have a soft 19 or more
than just and now let's talk about splitting
if you have a pair of to use threes
sixes sevens or nine's split
against the dealer small card if the deal has up
big card then revert to the hard total strategy I just went over
if the dealer if you have a pair eights
or aces always split on and you never split fours
fives or tense finally if there's
one situation you should surrender is 16 against the 10
surrender that that's gonna get you almost to the full power
the much more complicated basic strategy the house a mansion blackjack can range
anywhere from 0.2 percent to 0.8 percent assuming they pay 3221
blackjack the dreaded 625 has a house advantage about
2 percent plank 625 blackjack would be like paying twenty dollars
for a gallon of gas up
and for comparative purposes right now its $3.50 a gallon
for more information about black checker any casino game
please visit my website was it a botched a comp where I have
the Wizards simple blackjack strategy that I just went over
craps is also one of the best bets on the casino
the rules are a little bit complicated but um
just remember this the four best bets are the pass
don't pass com and don't come and always back those up
with are the maximum odds that you're comfortable taking
avoid all the sucker bets in the middle the table
just stick to those line bats most casinos here in Las Vegas
allow what's called three 45 times odds that's how much you can bet on the ONS
if that's the rule then the combined house and manage between
the pass and the ONS is 0.37 percent and
laying odds on a three four five times table up
the house and manage between the don't pass and odds is 0.27 percent so the
odds
are a little bit better on the so-called dark side betting that don't hassling
the ONS
but what's most important is just avoid everything in the middle the table
there all sucker bets stick to the line bets and the arts
mississippi's
the new casino games out there place kinda like the old let it ride
instead of pulling back your money has your senior cards
you can add more money if you have good cards what you win is based solely on
your own
hand the dealer doesn't take any cards at all and at the house advantage of
things considered as 4.91 percent
am just gonna go over real quickly the strategy
with your first two cards at the first decision point you should make the big
raise
if you have any pair if you have one high card
where high card is a jack to an ace then make the small
one time sir and he raise if you have
to medium cards and median carding a six through 10
make the small one x rays or if you have 65 suited
the I'm strategy for the other decision points on my website wizard about
Starcom
and if you see any side bets on the game avoid them all side bets
are sucker bets
sick but was perhaps the oldest casino game out there
it's a little hard to find in the United States but it's all over the place in
Macau
it's based simply on the role of three dice
there's dozens of different ways you can bet on the outcome
but there's only two good bets on the whole table the small in the big
the small wins if the toll on the dice is $10 or less
the big wins at the total is 11 or more both the even-money
however they both lose if the if the three of a kind is rolled
house manages 2.78 percent every other bet on the table is a sucker bet they
carry very high house images
