Basic strategy varies slightly according to the variation of blackjack that your playing.

It is however nearly always correct to hit 12 against a 10.

That wasn't the question

I once tried the version of Blackjack where you can see both of the dealers cards. Thought to myself easy money and sure they were thinking the same thing and promptly took my money. Can't remember all the rules, but know you had to beat the dealer, ie no push for a tie. Sure there is a strategy for this version but mine was to not play again.

I read in one of the Yongsters thread about funding for his new club, that a single £5 blackjack table will bring in £350,000 a year (after paying the dealers), not to many winners out of that lot I think.

Basic strategy regardless of any count says stand.

Heid, you need to bin whatever it is you're reading that from. Basic strategy is to hit here against a dealer's 2 or 3.

BTW, the best basic strategy grid around is at http://wizardofodds.com/blackjack, along with any other maths and basic strategy you wish to look at for just about any casino game (ignoring the 100% correct strategy of not playing them).

Noo Noo Noo !

Anything under a 6 and I am standing

Mr Riff ... wizard of odds is a great site.. but come on .. he has to get more cards to get to his 17, the chances of him busting are much higher with him having a 2!

Fatman and tank are right. I spent a few hours in the casino the other day. Came out, check my cash. Sure enough I'd broke even. Well, I was actually down £5 if you include travel. I sat there all night, didn't play one game, didnt buy one drink. 100% non loosing strategy. I was bored out of my mind however.... Was contemplating suicide, aside from making a few people very happy, I decided it a -EV situation if I died. I think I'm letting EV and mathematical correctness rule my life.

Perhaps you should rename this 'Heidi Strategy'. Personally, I'll just stick to the option that has the best chance of winning!

Heidi Strategy?

Hmm it has a ring to it

Even the strategy of erring on the side of caution sounds like me!

Jeez, I'm boring and mathematically incorrect now!

One of those is certainly right!

I'm not convinced!

Stand Stand Stand

Correct play everytime but u know that.
Even though a 2 is an evil card for the dealer, if u start hitting against 2 then u may aswell hit against 3,4,5 and u know what will happen u just made the odds even better for the casino >:?
