9 činjenica o Blackjack-u koje bi svi trebali znati!

Must know basic blackjack facts:

Blackjack is always in the limelight on casino floors and online lobbies. If a casino is to have one table game only, that game should be blackjack. And with good reasons!

It is fast-paced, simple, and easy to learn (though not to master), you play against the dealer, and the house edge is usually the lowest of all casino games.

There is so much to learn and talk about in blackjack – we could discuss this game for ages and still not be finished. However, today we wanted to pick nine interesting facts every blackjack player should know.

So, let’s shuffle up and deal and see what we come up with!

1. It is often said that the objective of blackjack is to draw a hand with a total value of cards as close to 21 as possible, but this is not quite correct. The goal in blackjack is to beat the dealer without going over 21, and you can do that by either drawing a higher-value hand or having the dealer’s hand busted. If the dealer’s hand exceeds the value of 21, you will win, provided you haven’t already busted. If neither busts nor goes over 21, the higher total value hand will win.
2. Contrary to what you may think, knowing the rules is not enough to play blackjack with skill and success. A knowledge of strategy is a critical first step to playing well.
3. Blackjack usually has the lowest house edge of all table games. Just knowing the basic strategy will get the house edge down to 0.75% to 0.25%, depending on the specific game rules.
4. The dealer always has the upper hand because they have a positional advantage, acting after the player. The odds are stacked against the player, who is set to lose playing long-term against the same dealer, even with basic strategy.
5. It is advised to play when a blackjack pays 3 to 2 instead of 6 to 5 odds. 3 to 2 blackjack tables pay $3 for every $2 bet, while 6 to 5 tables pay $6 for every $5 bet. With basic strategy, the house edge in the former can be as low as 0.25%.
6. Every legitimate blackjack expert agrees that it is generally better to play blackjack with fewer decks. While the odds are better, the rules are usually worse than in games with six or eight decks.
7. If you memorize basic strategy perfectly and always play exactly as it says, you will get the mathematically the best possible odds against the dealer, without using advanced strategies like card counting. But you must memorize it to a T, know it like the back of your hand at all times and play it perfectly, even going against what your gut tells you to do.
8. While you may find land-based blackjack tables more exciting or authentic, online blackjack has plenty of advantages: easy access, plenty of 3 to 2 blackjacks, much more variants with fewer decks like single-deck, double-deck, and four-deck games, and low minimum bets. Players online are not pressed for time and can take longer to think through their moves.
9. MIT mathematics professor Edward O. Thorpe, also known as the father of card counting, used the theory of probability to prove that using card counting systems (such as High-Low and Hi-Opt) can beat the dealer in blackjack. He published these findings in his 1962 bestseller Beat the Dealer.

We hope these facts gave you a worthwhile glimpse into the outstanding game of blackjack. They may inspire you to learn harder and put more effort into becoming more skilled and eventually master the game.

thanks for watching!

pro tip: learn basic strategy to the teeth

Wow. Great video for someone like me. Thank you so much!  

I'm glad you found it interesting. Blackjack is a fun and exciting game, but it is important to remember that it is also a form of gambling. There is always the risk of losing money, so it is important to gamble responsibly.

Interesting insights about blackjack! Learning the strategy seems to be crucial to improve the chances of winning. Playing with fewer decks for better chances caught my attention. I've always enjoyed playing blackjack, but these facts make it clear how important strategy is. It's not just luck; it's skill too! Thanks for sharing these lesser-known details about the game.

You actually have to memorize the basic strategy chart, like to be able to recite from memory what to do in each and every possible outcome and it's easier said than done. If you go into it without at least knowing the basics of blackjack, you won't have an idea what any of it even means :D

Due to the small house edge, I think that playing Blackjack with strict adherence to the basic rules is the most profitable way to make some profit, next to Poker. Of course, this means that you don't accept any bonus money, just play with your own money, because of the high WR playing with bonus money is useless.

Thanks guys, this is excellent work and videos like this are very useful for everyone, for old players and newbies too.

Another amazing advantage of playing BJ in online casinos is that you actually have the chance to play it for free, which is something land-based casinos cannot offer. It's the best way to see how the game itself works, understand its rules, and improve your skills. Plus, like you said, more time to think about the moves, and of course, there's a way better selection of games. Great video, guys, keep them coming! 🍀

Playing Blackjack may look simple, but having a good strategy is the most important thing when you play. If you just click hit and don't think about your moves you will soon end up with zero balance.

Thanks for this video with useful blackjack tips. 

Good tips guys.

Blackjack is a game of skill which is a major difference from slots for example. It's also a lot more interactive and can be a lot of fun if you know how to play optimally. Also, and this is possibly the best aspect of it in my opinion, you can really get a lot of playtime. Its slower paced and with optimal strategy you can get it to above 99% RTP. Its important to choose the variation with favorable rules, like paying 3 to 2, smaller number of decks etc... 

That being said, there is a learning curve, but its certainly less steep than in poker, and with a bit of practice and patience, its really not a problem.

There are also live dealer options now, and though I really don't think they are able to fully recreate the atmosphere of playing in a real casino, it definitely makes it feel "more real".

These are the main reasons I almost completely transitioned from slots player to blackjack in last few years. I certainly recommend it to everyone
