  • If you were to play Blackjack EXACTLY as the book said, how do you think you'd do? In this episode we play EVERY hand against the dealer with perfect basic strategy and exactly per what the book says! No variation, no change. We stay when it says stay, hit when it says hit, double when it says double and split when... well you get it! haha! Let's see how this goes
    NOTE: We are not a casino nor professionals. We are just having fun playing the game. We are not responsible for any decisions, losses, wins, etc. you might make based on our videos. Have fun and play responsibly!

    Basic Strategy says NEVER EVER buy insurance. Table rule states that dealer STANDS on all 17's........good for the player. Also dealer pays 3:2 on blackjack good for the player.
    Remember prior to playing ALWAYS look at the table rules. NEVER EVER play a 6:5 blackjack table. As an example on a $100 bet a 3:2 table will pay $150 while a 6:5 table pays
    only $120.

      The insurance comment depends. For the small fraction who are counting, and for the even smaller who are doing it right, deviation says you take insurance on a positive 3 or higher true count

    At 14:00 the second hand is player 12 vs dealer 3. Basic Strategy calls to hit and dealer says he never hits. The reason for hitting is that there are 9 cards that will make a hand for the
    player while only 4 cards that will bust.

Study a little harder and you just might get there. If other players at the table are why you think you’re losing or winning, you don’t understand the game your playing.

    The book was made using computer simulations which depend on a full or mostly full table to "play out" correctly.... a person didnt "write the book" a computer simulated an uncountable number of hands and then recorded which moves won the most. This chart or "basic strategy" is the result of these simulations.
    Also how can the dealer be showing 12 to hit 12vs12?
    I feel like these dudes just get really lucky at the casino and are blaming the book for it.

      just an fyi, martingale increases the chances that you walk away with a win, but when you lose, you lose more. And it is losing in the long run. I had a friend lose $1300 after losing 8 roulette spins in a row from martingale. make sure to walk away and not do it often!
