Blackjack is a player-friendly game. With appropriate strategy, you can achieve really good odds; understand how to play effectively, and the house edge drops to 1% or less. It is rare in the gambling world that players can utilise card counting and other advantage strategies to obtain an advantage over the house.
The European variant of blackjack, which is played with two decks and differs from Classic Blackjack in terms of how the cards are dealt, is one of the best types of blackjack. The players’ two cards are dealt face up. The Dealer is given one face-up card. The player’s hole card (the face down card) is not dealt until he decides how to play his cards. The cards can be split, hit, stand, or doubled. He can also bet double on a hand with a total of 11, 9, or 10.
