The basic concept of the card game is to be dealt cards totaling up to 21. Each player is assigned two cards. When a gambler is dealt a 9 or less and an Ace they have been dealt a soft hand. When the gambler receives no Ace cards it is referred to as a hard hand. Once the cards have been dealt every player at the blackjack table, including the dealer, every black jack player is given the chance to make one of 6 actions:
Taking another card (Hit): When a black jack player announces "hit" the croupier will give him another card, if the addition of that card makes the total greater than 21 the black jack player will have lost and be excluded from the game, if the card pushes the total to twenty one the blackjack player is the winner and if the total has not yet reached twenty one they are still in the game.
Keeping the hand you’ve been dealt: If a blackjack player is satisfied with the hand they will stay. As soon as this has happened the croupier will reveal their hand and the gambler who has accumulated twenty-one or the nearest to twenty one will win.
Doubling Down: A blackjack player may request to double down which increases the bet by 100% they have made. As soon as you’ve taken this action you can only be given 1 additional card. The details of doubling down are usually specified by the table or casino rules so prior to wagering make certain you are familiar with the casino rules. If you’re wagering at an internet casino this is usually very easy.
Stay tuned for part 2.

Blackjack – also known as ‘twenty-one’ and ‘pontoon’ – is a game that nowadays is normally seen in a betting house with players trying their fortune on achieving the elusive ‘twenty one’. It is commonly believed that the game originated in France around the 17th century. However, as with many other gambling games the precise development of the game remains a mystery.
Blackjack was brought to the US after the French Revolution, but the game did not become popular in the betting houses until the house offered payouts as a bonus. This was the only method that appeared to get players gambling on twenty-one. One variant on the bonus payout was for a player to make ‘21′ with the blackjack card (valued at ten points) and an ace (given a value of eleven points). With the growing popularity of the game the bonus pay outs were canceled but the name ‘black jack’ remained.
Blackjack isn’t simply about achieving an outright ‘twenty-one’, but the primary challenge is to beat the croupier without busting. The betting house clearly has an edge over the gambling players over the long term, but with chemin de fer the player holds on to an element of choice.
Since 1931 when America first legitimized wagering, black jack has become a quintessential betting house game. Furthermore, it is the combination of both skill and mathematics used in blackjack that has made the game hugely liked. Pontoon provides an alluring adventure to any scientist, math guy or wagering player looking to analyze the tactic of the game.

General Schemes
There are several scheme charts which will assist you to make your way from novice to expert but the following pointers will give you a great notion on what to do and what you cannot to do: If your hand = 17 or higher, but you have not exceeded twenty one – Sit. If you have been assigned a hand with 2 Aces or two eights split! If you’ve been dealt a hand with two tens or 2 face cards do not split.
Counting Cards
Card counting is one of the most popular blackjack strategies; it’s the skill of players to mentally count; commit the cards used to memory and to determine how many big value cards remain in the deck. This strategy has been banned by most brick and mortar casinos but isn’t really illegal as long as the player isn’t utilizing a automated device to do so. Counting cards isn’t possible when gambling on black jack on the net as the deck is normally automatically shuffled after each hand.
Gambling on Black Jack Online
There are many net twenty-one pages that offer various forms of the game. Whether you want to compete in classic, advanced or high limit blackjack or if you wish to bet on in an online blackjack tournament you’ll discover an internet casino offering you absolutely what you are looking for.
The only thing better than hearing the croupier call out twenty-one when observing at your cards and seeing an Ace and a King not only is the payout rate sweeter the exhilaration is far greater.

We resume our article on the basics of black jack. In Part 1 we covered the basis of black jack, hitting, holding with the current hand and how to double down. In part 2 we’ll discuss splitting, surrendering and insurance.
Split: if a player is assigned 2 cards of the same value (2 8’s as an example) the player may split them to generate two different hands. If you choose to split your hand you will need to lay a new wager equal to the initial wager.
Surrender: A few betting houses will let players to surrender the cards they have been dealt along with fifty percent of the initial bet they made prior to the dealer checking his hand. As a rule it is vital to inquire with the dealer for clarification on the table rules or look at the rules area on the internet betting house you’re betting on.
Insurance: When the dealers face up card is an Ace individuals have the ability to take out insurance. You will lay half of the original wager prior to the croupier checking his cards; if the croupier has black jack you will come away with a win on the insurance bet but still lose the original wager. Sadly if the dealer does not have twenty-one the competitor loses the insurance. It is a chance but one that’s well worth it, if used as part of a clever plan.
Once a competitor has stood or busted by exceeding 21 the dealer will reveal his hand and will go on to deal themselves cards until one of the following things has happened: if they have surpassed 17, a croupier won’t typically draw another card because of the likelihood of busting, if he has drawn twenty-one or if they have gone bust.

The game of twenty-one was brought to the United States in the 1800’s but it wasn’t until the mid 20th century that a system was created to defeat the house in black jack. This material is going to grab a swift peak at the birth of that strategy, Card Counting.
When casino gambling was authorized in the state of Nevada in ‘34, Blackjack sky-rocketed into popularity and was most commonly wagered on with 1 or 2 decks. Roger Baldwin wrote a paper in ‘56 which described how to reduce the house edge based on probability and statistics which was quite difficult to understand for gamblers who were not math experts.
In 1962, Dr. Thorp used an IBM 704 computer to enhance the mathematical strategy in Baldwin’s dissertation and also developed the first tactics for card counting. Dr. Ed Thorp authored a book called "Beat the Dealer" which summarized card counting strategies and the practices for reducing the house edge.
This created a huge growth in black jack gamblers at the US betting houses who were attempting to implement Dr. Ed Thorp’s tactics, much to the consternation of the casinos. The technique was not easy to understand and difficult to execute and thusly elevated the profits for the casinos as more and more people took to betting on twenty-one.
However this massive increase in profits wasn’t to continue as the players became more highly developed and more aware and the system was further perfected. In the 1980’s a bunch of students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology made counting cards a part of the everyday vocabulary. Since then the casinos have brought in countless measures to thwart players who count cards including, multiple decks, shoes, constant shuffle machines, and speculation has it, complex computer software to analyze actions and identify "cheaters".

The question being asked at this time is what is the future of the twenty-one card counters. are the times of card counting over? Most believe so.
Automated shuffling is being utilized in todays tables which makes shuffle tracking or card counting unlikely. The brick and mortar betting houses are going to place shuffling machines at the tables.
It’s said that in places like vegas, video cameras are being employed to look at the abilities of the players and smart twenty-one tables that tracks gamblers hands and strategies using magnetic chips.
The Nevada State Gaming Commission, an agency that safeguards honest gambling has made a decision that betting houses may not change the games in a manner that would alter the frequency of the pay outs. Since then, many Nevada brick and mortar casinos train their dealers to card count and shuffle whenever they want, also almost all of the betting houses keeps information of card counters, including names and photos to try and keep them out of the game.
So what will be the outlook of this black jack "war"? is it just beginning or will it before long reach a resolution? Regardless of all their latest computers, political and monetary affects, I have reason to believe there remains a chance for a happy result. With more than twenty-five states in the US allowing blackjack games, there are more profit possibilities for card counters than back in the olden days.
