Blackjack Mistakes

It’s human nature to assume we’re pretty good at what we do.  Accordingly, many people sit down at a blackjack table and assume their losses are due to bad luck, rather than their own bad play. 

Double Check your game with the below some of Blackjack Mistakes, and see if there is still room for improvement:

 1.  Playing by “Feel”.  I could understand this mistake better if you were Jeanne Dixon or had a job working for a cold case police taskforce.  At least your psychic powers might have some use there.  But at a blackjack table, it is a big mistake to play “because it feels right.”  We’ve all seen the freshman blackjack player who announces “I’m splitting these tens because I feel it’s the right thing to do.” or the guys who says “I know the ‘book’ says no, but I’ve got a feeling.”  If you want to make more money, stop playing by feel, and start playing exactly according to your blackjack strategy card.

  2.  Taking Insurance.  We’ve all seen the articles that tell us, statistically speaking, not to take insurance.  We’ll make more money in the long run, they say, if we never take it.  So why do we sit there and accept even money?  It’s that old dealer admonition that “Insurance is the only sure bet in blackjack.”   The dealer was wrong then, and he’s wrong now.  Only if you’re a card counter who knows the precise count on the deck, should you even think about it.  If you’re just another BJ player, fuggedaboudit!

 3.  Not Doubling Down Enough.  Blackjack is an interesting mix of odds and formulas.  Sometimes, after receiving your cards, you must play conservatively to avoid more losses.  But sometimes, the right play is to double your bet.  Why?  When you have an A-2 against the dealer’s 5 upcard, (and other double-down situations, too) you’ve got a nice statistical edge to win the hand.  Take the plunge!  Double your bet and take what’s rightfully yours.  If you’re too timid to take this advantage, go back to the nickel slots.  Or better yet, study your basic strategy card and memorize every double-down combination of cards.  It will time well spent.

4.  I’m Due.  No, you’re not.  If you’ve been losing, trust me, you can lose again.  And if you’ve been winning, it can go on that way.  It is human nature to assume the tides of change will turn on the next hand, based on the last several hands.  The previous hand history does not have any influence upon the outcome of the next hand.  Got it?  Your odds are unchanged, whether you’ve just had 16 winners in a row, or 16 losers.  The next hand is unaffected by history. (By the way, I’m not taking about card counting here.  Card counters monitor a shoe’s odds on an ongoing basis using advanced statistical techniques.)

5.  Bad Table Position.   Sit anywhere at the table.  Third base is the same as first base.  If you’re not a card counter, it won’t affect your earnings either way.  We often hear people talking about a third base player that “made lots of poor decisions, and made me lose.”  Get over it.  That same third base player might save you from losses with his erratic play, too. - http://www.truecasinostories.com
