Blackjack Rules

For a blackjack player knowing the rules and applying them well will ensure him or her of a win. One is the rules of doubles which are permitted on and hand of two cards except that of a blackjack and are permitted after the splitting of a game. When it comes to forfeiting or surrendering in a blackjack game, it is best to do it early before the dealer starts checking for blackjacks and when the wager is not yet high. Also on aces of a game, the resplitting of aces will be very useful, as well as drawing another card against a split ace. The phenomenon of a "Charlie" is also beneficial. This is when five or more cards have been drawn but with a value less than 21 and is considered an automatic win.

Despite the rules of blackjack being highly beneficial, they also have their disadvantages to the player. These are the 3:2 ratios of pay-outs, the splitting of one to two hands, the restriction of a double down like 9,11 and 10,11, and the restriction of resplitting an ace. The circumstance of a No-Peek also proves to be detrimental where players could lose splits and doubles to the dealer.
