10 Blackjack Tips for Successful Playing Fun!

10 Blackjack Tips to Win

1. Knowing the Game: A player must completely understand how the game works before he can even hope to win. Knowing the rules is not enough. The minimum any player must learn before approaching a table at a casino is basic strategy, a card-tracking system, a proper wagering system, and how to prevent any cheating.
2. Keeping Records: Every game ever played must be recorded. The things to record are winnings/losses, the strategy used, the limits and other rules of the table and the place where the game was played. Keeping such record will help the player to analyze his bankroll and to determine perfect playing conditions.
3. Knowing Yourself: The psychological aspect of gambling is not less important than any other thing. A player must analyze the feelings he experiences while playing under different conditions. The things to pay attention to are: whether losing causes a desire to leave the table or to try and recover the loss; what kind of players, if any, cause disturbance or irritation; under what conditions the player can stay calm and concentrate on the game and when it is more rational to leave the game.
4. Thinking Independently: The player must be blind and deaf to anything but his own game. Letting others influence the game is the best way to ruin the whole plan. No advice from friends, dealers, mates, other players or whoever else must be taken to the account.
5. Concentrating on the Game: Blackjack, as most other gambling games is typically accompanied by festive atmosphere with loud music, moving and talking people and so on. Totally disconnecting from all this will help to play better, but, on the other hand, will not let the player enjoy the game. Experienced players know to take part in dialogues and enjoy the atmosphere without losing the concentration and being focused on the game at the same time.
6. Being Physically Prepared: Fatigue is the worst enemy of any player. No excuses can keep a player at the table if he feels tired. With experience, people become better prepared physically and can play longer, but in any case, it is not recommended to play after not sleeping enough or working hard during the whole day. If a player feels tired he can leave the game and come another day or at least take a break and rest for an hour or two.
7. Calculating Odds: A player must know to calculate the percentage of his advantage or disadvantage to lower the risk and to prevent any cheating. Formulas for odds calculation are thick as black berries on the Internet.
8. Knowing to Stop: No matter how good the system used by the player is, he must quit if he keeps losing. A certain loss limit must be set and when the player reaches this limit he must stop playing under any conditions.
9. Planning the Game: To control the game and not let the game control the player, the player must plan his gambling from the beginning to the end and follow this plan strictly. Such plan must include the number of gambling trips per year, a number of hours played per day, the casinos to visit, the maximum loss and other similar things.
10. Relying on Experience: Reading all books written about blackjack is not enough to become a good player. The best way to learn the game is to play it and to try different things, like playing everywhere, from the largest casinos to sawdust joints, playing at tables with different rules and different number of decks, playing against young and veteran dealers and even playing alone at your kitchen.
