Beat blackjack and walk away with a considerable profit
May 31, 2007
The game of Blackjack is extremely entertaining and exciting. At times you can do now wrong. You ask for a hit on 16 and you get a 20 or even a 21. You ask for a hit on 17 and you get a 19. Every time you double down you win, you get blackjacks coming like you are an ace magnet, and the dealer busts every time you need him to. The chips are pilling up in front of you and you feel like a genius.
But these lucky streaks will not last forever. Eventually your luck will run out and that is why you must play smart. Only by playing smart can you make sure that you walk away with a profit.
The key to playing smart is maximizing your winnings and minimizing your loses.
Maximize your winnings by following these tips:
- If you keep on winning, it is crucial to also walk away a winner.
You must realize that you will eventually lose. So you must walk away while you are ahead, while you have a profit. Chances are that you will eventually lose, so it is important to know when to pack it in.
Let’s say that you are ahead by 20 units. Take 10 units and put them in your pocket, and wager the remaining 10 units. If you lose you will still get to keep the 10 units you previously put in your pocket.
- Don’t set a limit on your winning sessions.
Let’s say that you are on a winning streak. You keep winning round after round. Just keep putting aside your winnings for the duration of the winning streak. You will be able to walk away a winner, a big winner, even after you have lost your ten unit buffer.
If you want to increase your winnings while you are on a winning streak, simply increase the size of your bet. Just make sure not to go overboard and put your winnings at risk with a couple of big losses. Increase the size of your bet, but do it in moderate increments.
Keep in mind that there is no guarantee you will win the next round simply because you won the previous four in a row. The outcome of the previous round has no bearing on the outcome of this round.
Minimize your losses by following the tips presented below. They will help you save large amounts of your hard earned money.
- Limit your table losses to 20 units.
Let’s say that in each round you wager 5$. In this case you should limit your loss to no more than $100 per session. I know it takes discipline, but you must not chase your loses. This way you will keep from walking away a big loser. Taking a break to clear your head is also a good idea.
- Do not bet more than you can afford.
I believe this bet is self explanatory. Let’s say that you usually bet $5 per round. You can afford to wager this amount of money and you will not miss it if you lose. So keep betting $5, do not start betting $25 per round as you will surely go broke.
- Do not try to recover your loses by increasing the size of your bet.
You will not have better chances of winning just because you have increase the size of your bet. Chances are that you will lose again, just that this time you wagered a lot more money.
The simple truth of the matter is that you are never guaranteed a victory. Winning and losing are part of the game. You cannot lose all the time, and you cannot win all the time. When you win, make the best of it. But when you lose, make sure you do not lose too much.
