Every teacher should have students like her....
wotan237 she sure gives me a padawonboner!
Insurance absolutely works if u count cards. If the true count is plus 3 or more u take insurance. Worked for me like a charm. Hit the 15s and 16s if the true count is minus 3 or more, worked for me also.
Finally, someone who knows what they are talking about lol. 👌
Well not everybody is Rain Man so for us morons that can't count cards we kind of need a system to follow
Mark Nelson You do not need to be Rain Man to count cards, though.
I am not sure, but the playing deviation I read was that you stand 16 vs 9 at a true 5, 16 stands 10 at true 0 and 15 stands 10 at true 4.
How am I supposed to concentrate with those sweater puppies poppin' out? !!!
calm down! and concentrate
Thanks for the Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you researched - Konenjamin Penrooklyn Solution (do a google search)? It is a smashing one off guide for finding your lucky day to cleverly win the lottery minus the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my work buddy finally got excellent results with it.
Great Instructional video ! Good Job breaking down a complex game.
Great video, well explained and high quality. Will def share with friends. Thank you!
Like your method of teaching the game. Thanks
I'm going to Nick Kollas' next spring to learn how to deal blackjack. Trying to memorize basic strategy, some say always double on eleven, etc etc. I like this way the best, easy to remember...I want to be able to give the players good advice if they ask and be good at what I do when we move to Las Vegas is all! I will say to ALWAYS split 8s, split Aces, and ALWAYS stand on soft 20, that's my advice! Great video BTW!
How to understand blackjack dealers' hand movements, that would be a good one.Love that dealer's accent.
Basic. Strategy with a twist. Good video
Hi. Your video is briliant. Thanks a lot for sharing your advices.
This is a great video and great rules, even if you use pure strategy this is still great, good job!!!!! Vegas here I come!!!
Thank you. Good video and well explained.
Great job Angela!
I've had a hard 7 through this entire video. What should I do?
ahhh, i see what u did there lol
Richard Petty
oh be honest, you had a hard 5. which means you hit it
me too
Hit it over and over
Hard 7 is that from watching the chick is this video?! LOL
Awesome video ! I play the same strategy
I agree with all hooter comments... Damn, she makes it hard to concentrate on the cards... As for the lessons... Thanks Mike... I'll give it a shot, but need to watch it a few more times... just to make sure i didn't miss something... lol Good Stuff !
Have you ever read playing blackjack as a business? In that book there is a chart players gain or loss by drawing on hard 12-17
A-6 A-7 A-8 A-9 when dealer stands on soft 17. There should be a chart for when dealer hits soft 17 the gain or loss.
A tip when filming with 2 cameras/angles. Never cross the 180 degree line. The 2nd close-up should beside the main camera. In this case its opposite, confuses the viewer. Here endeth the lesson.
thanks again Michael, love the site and videos -
I know where I want to stick my nose on a cold winters night
great advice on basic strategy.. very conservative and aggressive stance on many of the potential options in a string of potential hands..? Have you decided yet to integrate a wagering ladder along with your teachings? It's the most aggressive stance against the game of black jack so far, it basically reverses the basic odds already in favor of the casino and leaves them vulnerable to be exploited systematically..? Enjoyed the video and insights..
I'd rather check out your website if I want to learn something. In this video I learned that Angela is freaking hot.
freaking hot and married... :-(
Caveat for the players... 2 and 3 are not so low cards as they are considered to be and are exceptions to the rules and depends on the dealer's hand.
That would be the dealers hand, a 2 or 3
Hi,
Why is your Basic Strategy charts different from Edward's Thorp "Beat the Dealer" book where for instance on the HARD STANDING numbers of 14 , 15 , 16 he recommends to HIT always ( 2 exceptions against a 10 ) and your charts recommend to STAND with those hands agasint dealer's 2 through 6 ?
Thanks in advance for your time !
great video.
Hello, and I want to thank you for giving the best tips around. I do not mean to be negative, but to make the strategy effective, you would have to play about 10,000 hands in a row....and I do not know anyone with that kind of time and bankroll. Having said that, can a recreational blackjack player stand a chance of a modest win with a bank roll of let's say $300?(Assuming blackjack pays 3:2).
brilliant. thank you
I wish that she could teach me how to play Blackjack or any other game!
Should you match the dealer?
Thanks for the videos. *Is the strategy still the same if the dealer only draw 1 face card? I play Blackjack in Macau and the dealer only draw 1 face card. The dealer doesn't draw the faced-down card, he draws he second card and the rest after all the players have played their hands.
does this strategy works for any number of decks played?
Is it possible to change seats with your student?
He's not saying the Wizard's Simple Strategy is better than Basic Strategy - just easier to remember. As a dealer, you've probably got a lot of good stories about crazy players with no idea what they're doing. The Simply Strategy will at least make the player fairly respectable at the table! From there, they can work to refine it to knowing the basic strategy.
Also - surrendering works to maximize your bankroll!
Hey Mike, I noticed you may be located in AZ, Im in AZ myself, do you ever do training or Vegas trips? Im just getting into Black Jack but I have great math brain! I would be interested in any local things you do. Didn't see anything on the website. Also I just bought a great app for Android that refers to the WizardOfOdds site. Just wondering if thats your app?
And Yes I Know that my keyboard did Not register the "a".
Thanks for the tips. Like so much! I've won £450 in 2 hours of playing.
well there's a pair that beats a full house
I don't understand why the player stayed on 12 against 2 from the dealer while the stragegy card indicates that we should hit if we have 12 against the dealer card 2 or 3?
it was simplified, @Bai Nguyen, I counted at least 4 BS violations so I am not sure If i agree with his statistic 99.86% as effective as BS
Are you an advantage player too? if so we should network, I am interested in meeting more APs
Where is this shot? A dealer school or so? Great videos BTW! You're doing an amazing job!
I believe 2 to 6 are potential bust cards for the dealer so I believe soft 13 to soft 15 against these cards are doubles
A dealer 2 isn't a bad card, it's definitely not a bust card. A 3 is close, a lot easier to make a hand with a 2 vs a 5 or 6.
Does count cards help with this
Is this just as good as the "official" basic strategy? Im good at counting cards and know this strategy perfectly and i want to know if i should go ahead and memorize the huge chart.
fellow AP here, learn basic strategy and your playing deviations it will increase your advantage
I totally disagree with him at 12:55. The dealer must draw with a 4 and you have a hand that not only is not a 17 or better, but you can't bust no matter what you draw. This is a great time to MAXIMIZE your bet!
best tutorial around
Channel name is a great reference.
In th long term this strategy may win. In the short term?
Forget about teacher check out the student.
Not the most well-produced video, but wizardofodds is THE BEST gambling site on the internet. I even saw a pit boss recommend it to a particularly bad player once.
Very good information. Thank you I'm going to try my luck next week :)
2" 3, 6, 7, 9 . . . gotta remember that !
Paul Suprono his strategy is wrong. 9s split against an 8 and 9 also.
Does counting cards increase your chance of winning
RIP Dan. 😢
In order to have a soft 12 u would need two aces which u would split
10:05 -- you always split 9 9 against an 8 dealer upcard. Isn't that right? although I wonder when the count is negative...
you are absolutely correct on a soft 17 game BS says that you should split 9s against 2 through 9 but not 7, also I counted 4 BS violations
I like when he says 'busted'
Shes the type of girl ide walk up to and be like...can I buy you a drink? And shed be like "drinks are free in this casino" and ide be like "can I give you money to play with?" And shed be like "ummm yeah sure" and that would be the end of that
Casey Vreeken I'm crying at this comment 😂😂
At least you know your limitations,lol
Ofc my man.
Agree Justin Falcon
Greetings Card Counters! I have been a student, teacher, researcher, tester and player of the game of 21 for years. Here is my question, and point. What seat should you take at the table? The decision is not the end all of whether you will win or lose, but it does have some advantages if you count cards. The first seat or "first base" is optimal for a card counter. Why is this? Because the next card out is closest to the running count and when you make the decision to bet up or down.
Definitely the seat next to the chick so you can get a good gawk at those beauties
After reading the comments of people that "don't believe in basic strategy ", i realize how does the casinos still get a lot of profit.
I like how people think they know better than mathematicians, programmers and successful card counters.
Francis Lecuak - It's the perfect losing strategy lol. Its how casuals lose the smallest amount possible. If you actually want to win, learn to count cards, it's more fun anyway.
Basic strategy should be learned perfect first though.
I see it EVERY DAY as a dealer. I don't know when it happened but it seems 99% of the people are such cowards when playing. They are afraid to BUST . Also they have become a bunch of viagra munchers STIFF PRICKS.
What is a good blackjack trainer? I tried Casino Vérité but it was very confusing
You can use our free-to-play blackjack game to train:

this dudes smart he master the game now he master of dame's
Hi very nice casino game.s
Goo bless you end have a nice day
Doesn’t dealing Dan sell cars downtown?
Soft is with an ace, meaning you can take the ace as 1 if needs be, hard is if the ace is already hard set to 1 or you have no ace. A3 is soft and K 4 is hard.
what does hard and soft mean?
She is probably a dealer or experienced player at least, not a student. Notice how she "feels" the chips on her double down @ 7:11. This is how dealers hand out chips which is not normal for a "student".
you get half your bet back. i personally would never surrender
She can be my student any time
Good video overall! some good advice!
Me personally though, I would split the 5's if the dealer shows a 5 or less. Just me...
Lol I'd just double the bet but best of luck too you at the tables
You have soft 18 (A,7) and dealer is showing a 2. What do you do??
stay!!
Orlando BERROCAL SOTO jdmikeg4 Depends on the rules of table. High limit (dealer stay on s17): you do not stay, you double the SHIT out of that hand.
@@Rock-ck7ms actually you double on a hard 17 game, on a soft 17 game you actually do stand if you are playing 4-8 decks
shame she wasn't playing poker because she had a lovely pair, that was a very good video and shall try this one out.
why is there no keys for soft 12?
The number players does or does not matter for winning? It matters. It is much more subtle than where you sit? No. It is almost equal in fact. The count has to be paid for in the game of blackjack. There is a charge to see the cards. The other players pay for some of those cards for you. Get first base on a table with about 3 players (3 hands) and this is the optimal balance of prediction of the cards and "paid visibility".
I disagree. It is best to be last player. REASON: Easier to count!
Oh yes we need a SIMPLIFIED version of basic strategy because it's SO HARD on its own. Oh PLEASE great wizard of odds, can you also give us a SIMPLIFIED version of tic tac toe strategy? It's just too HARD and COMPLICATED to FULLY prepare for the great and complicated game of tic tac toe, it just takes too much effort to do the WHOLE THING and I need a DUMBED DOWN version.
I am usually card counting at the blackjack table. Other players get jealous at seeing my stack of chips because they don't know what the fuck I am doing.
Can someone suggest an online blackjack game where we can practice and not get smoked with adds.
It means this....Think of an Ace and 6 as "soft" 17, because the ace can have a value of 1 or 11. A hard seventeen would be a face card or ten and a 7. Anything "soft" has an ace counting as 11.
What's a hard 10?
What I like about this video is more realistic they don't win every hand
Sam Wise. That is the reason why players losing money.
GOT UP TO GO TO THE LU WALKED INTO THE DOOR ,DIDNT BREAK MY NOSE
The BEST strategy to hv is to AVOID playing Blackjack, Where the bettor draws cards, get a bust, n losses his/her bet WITHOUT the card dealer/house having to draw cards to face off/compare with the bettor's hand; n if the bettor's hand/card total is NOT bust, the card dealer/house has a SECOND chance/advantage of drawing cards to "fight" against the bettor's total hand. This DOUBLE ADVANTAGE over the bettor gives the card dealer/house the GREATEST!! odds of WINNING!
who can concentrate with her there? lol
+Michael Leite Yeah,I'm looking at her left boob.
a decent blackjack strategy you follow sir
guilty
@@ddd228 me to, just waiting,,,,, but no.
Simp
never fall victim to insurance fraud! XD
ever had a hand so bad its arthritic?! XD LOL
If the girl to your left was the dealer I wouldn't mind busting! lol
I Angela till a working dealer?
I would prefer Angela teaching me bed jack or bed sports instead
What is the difference between a soft 17 & a hard 17
Soft 17 is a 17 made with an Ace.(Ace-6). Its soft because its value can be either 17 or 7, whereas a Hard 17 would be some sort of 10 card and a 7. In other words a 17 that is only a 17.
+Joseph Tousignant with her face, you'd need Viagra or a bag
your name should be J pee you probably couldn't seduce a vegas bag lady
insert stiff hand joke
I don't know why but for some reason you remind me of Steve Carrel.
Probably Jan Levinson Goold sitting beside him.
Was thinking same thing
Mike says you never split fours, fives or faces. However, just now I was playing at Wizard of Vegas and I was dealt two fours and the dealer was showing a six.
I elected to hit and was told that I should split......care to explain Mike?
Basic strategy changes as the rules of the game change. If you can double down after splitting, split 4s against 5 or 6. If you cannot double after split, never split fours. Also, unless if you are counting cards, never ever split fives or faces.
Angela oh Angela. Now what was this video about?
You only need to know basic strategy when the count is about equal, when the count gets higher or lower, basic strategy goes out the window
Basic strategy is not out the window at a high or low count. You should still follow it most of the time.
Incorrect, if you know there are more tens left than small cards it would be silly to hit a hand that could bust its calling playing variations
Gary Sharp Yeah, but you should not always stand if the count is high. Most of your deviations should be based off of the illustrious 18.
@@GaryLuKOTH ok I will give you an example. If your playing lets say double deck blackjack and the running count is plus 10 with over a deck played, you go up on your bet and unfortunately you get dealt a 12 threw 16, you should stay no matter what the dealer is showing because its very likely you will bust. Also let's say the dealer has a Ace up and the count is plus 10 you should always take insurance because its likely the dealer will have blackjack, these are just a few playing variations
Also I was a dealer for 15 years, and most dealers are no better at blackjack than their players, in fact alot of dealers are compulsive gamblers
Why go with house suggestion of play with a card tht is for sale by the casino?
Go by the % of bust according to your hand etc.
Well... because computer simulations show it is better. However, if you think it is wrong or lying, I’ll be happy to see your math or data to back your claim.
The basic strategy was not made by the casino.
Hit 16 if dealer showes big card?
Yes, because the probability that the dealer busts is less than 25%. You will survive busting from 16 about 40% of the time.
1st few minutes it’s seems like that girl gonna chews his nose out..😂😂
you said: You been teaching 25 years you told the lady to stay 12 against dealer showing 2. Okey 8 7 6 5 4 they all get you into a save place and 9 is even better, and the only cards that can get you busted is 10 J Q K 70% of the time you beat the dealer if you hit in this situation. we all know the basic strategy says stay when the dealer is showing small card and you have small card as well. but 12 against the dealer showing 2 is deferent. there is so many cards in the shoe that can help you.
Dr Abdiweli M Gas It's a SIMPLIFIED strategy for absolute beginners who don't want to memorize the exceptions.
James Nabors I learned about game yesterday and not even once i considered to stand on hard 12 or 13 but when it comes to stiff hands i would go by the feel,if i feel that i dont have any chance i hit 15 and 16 other times i hope that dealer busts,yeah i am beginner but its not advanced strategy to hit 12 imho and that can be explained like everything else he had imho
@@jimmynabors You always stay on a 12 if a dealer is showing a 2. WTF you talking about?
Why would you Surrender a Hard 16 against a Dealer High card. If your going to surrender and loose,WHY not just take a possible hit because it could make your hand possibly win. Surrendering is automatic LOSS.
Thanks for your answer. Jeff
Because you only win about 23% of the time. That gives you an expected win of (23%)(+1)+(77%)(-1)=(-54%)(1). In other words, you are expected to lose more than half your bet. If you surrender, you only lose 0.5 bets. In the long run, you would be down less money if you always surrender than you would be if you never surrendered.
I don't know how much easier this is than basic strategy; I've got basic strategy down, but then again I am a pretty mathematical and analytical person. I need an easy strategy for the chick in the video though
Motorboaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbrrrrrrr
Really bra? Twice the same comment. Must be thirsty as fuck. Damn.
great video!!!!
