      I think the way to play, and I don't, is when you win half of what you brought in to gamble with, quit. If the guy started with $500, he should quit when he wins $250.

    There's no great secret to blackjack in casinos. Sit down and let the cards fall the way they do. The house is always slightly tipped to win, so if you do come up with some profit, consider it a good win and walk away.
    If you are a gambler though...you'll probably be sitting at the table like these two until you're in the hole.

      When playing blackjack, I am there to spend money, not make money. If I'm winning and I decide to quit early, then it isn't anywhere near as fun.
      That said, there are general rules you can follow to minimise your chances of losing. If the casino is going to take my money, I'm not going to make it easy for them.

  • @DuaLeaD
    @DuaLeaD 5 років тому +67

    Having been a dealer myself, very few dealers know perfect Basic Strategy and probably < 1% of players know it - DO NOT play Blackjack without knowing Basic Strategy for the particular table rules. For example, on a 6-deck table which pays blackjacks 3:2 where dealer hits on soft 17, you can slice the house edge down to approximately 0.64% - Card counting can reverse this and actually increase the player's edge by approximately 0.5% per increase in the True Count - I highly recommend Blackjack Apprenticeship UA-cam channel for anyone seriously wanting to play without getting their asses handed to them by the casino.
    Just because people buy in for a lot of money, doesn't mean they know how to play - Learned that on my first day as a dealer. Pure stupidity to come to a casino game and not know the odds or strategies.

      Used to do that with my classmates when we were 18. Went to the casino every schoolday, always brining less money then we would eat and drink there(for free). The staff knew but liked us so let it go😂 best school lunch ever.

    If you don't stop when you're winning (or not losing) you'll end up losing every time. These gamblers have real issues.

    I almost never gamble, but when it comes to Blackjack usually I’d go for £100, bet say £15-£25 until I hopefully win, then bet the smallest till I’ve lost a few times in a row, then start gradually increasing my bet while not going past my break even point, betting only my profit; virtually never left a table without at least breaking even, and if I’m feeling randomly adventurous and want to bet big then I set myself a limit of 3, I play 3 hands, I leave the table, no 4th. Period. And for pretty much any other gambling game I have the same rule of 3, and I avoid slots like there’s no tomorrow. Gambling requires a lot of self control I think, it can be exceptionally lucrative yes, but god can it turn into a black hole. We all get unlucky sometimes, for example having a losing streak off the bat and somehow not winning a penny, but that’s why you *always* only bet what you are willing to burn

    I like going to casinos, but I never go to a casino "hoping" to win money. I generally go to have fun. I'll take a certain amount of money with me, but in cash, and I leave my card at home. Most of the time I lose anything I bring in, but the point for me is having fun. When I do occasionally make a tidy profit, I see it as being paid for having a good night. Now that I'm about to hit my 30s, I much prefer a night out in a casino than a night club.

    • @henkeball
      @henkeball 6 років тому +2

      CA VG, I fully understand what you mean when you say that you prefer the more controlled atmosphere at the casino. However if you don’t mind I would like to ask you a question regards to this subject.
      Are you a smoker yourself? If not - do you find it extremely exhausting to inhale all the smoke that gamblers in the casino constantly exhales?
      I have myself found it very hard to stay in such an environment for a particurlary long while.
      I really wish they would ban smoking inside casinos. I know I mustn’t be the only one with these desires.

    Went to a casino for a mates bachelours party once. Not a gambler so in my mind I was thinking "I have £50, once its gone its gone and I'm done." Got up £80 on blackjack then lost it. I remember the feeling of just being pissed off and thinking to myself why would anyone continue doing this? I really dont understand why people get so into it.
