Blackjack is one of the most popular card games in the world, but some people have a wrong idea about it. They think that they will win a lot of money but this is not true. If you are not aware of the blackjack strategy, then it is better to stop playing this game.

I don’t want to write a lengthy article on blackjack, but I will try to explain the basic rules and strategies of this game.

There are two types of players:

Players who play to win

Players who play to avoid losing

If you are the type of player who plays to win, then you will try to hit the blackjack by getting 21 or 11. If you play to avoid losing, then you will try to get a blackjack by getting a hand of 21, or you will try to get a blackjack by getting a hand of 12 or 13.

Hitting the blackjack

You need to have a strategy that will help you to get a blackjack. The best strategy is to use a combination of cards. There are two types of combinations:

Straight up

Pair up

Straight up is the combination of cards that are in the same suit. Pair up is the combination of cards that are in the same rank.

Straight up

Let’s take an example of a blackjack hand.

The first card is an ace and the second card is a 10. Now, if you want to get a blackjack, then you can either choose the 10 or the ace. If you choose the 10, then the next card will be the 9 and you will get a blackjack. If you choose the ace, then the next card will be the 8 and you will get a blackjack.

So, if you are the type of player who plays to win, then you need to choose the right combination. If you choose the 10, then you will lose a lot of money.

Pair up

Pair up is the combination of cards that are in the same rank. Let’s take an example of a blackjack hand again.

The first card is a king and the second card is a 6. Now, if you want to get a blackjack, then you can either choose the 6 or the king. If you choose the 6, then the next card will be the 5 and you will get a blackjack. If you choose the king, then the next card will be the 4 and you will get a blackjack.

So, if you are the type of player who plays to avoid losing, then you need to choose the right pair. If you choose the 6, then you will lose a lot of money.
