Be A Winner At Blackjack
By Pat Budd
SECTION ONE
Introduction
Almost everyone likes to play cards. Most of us started as children, playing fish or old maids and as we became adults we may have switched our choice to poker, blackjack, canasta or bridge. In fact the popularity of blackjack (also known as twenty one) is at an all time high.
Whether you play just for fun with friends and neighbors or you want to step it up a bit and play in a casino or participate in a tournament, there will be something in this book for you.
I caution you to remember that in a casino or card club your play is not just for fun. If you lose money playing cards, your opponents keep it. You don’t want to find yourself in the position of trying to win back the grocery money or car payment, so always remember that casino card players are generally skilled and you need to attain that skill to keep pace. Doubtless you are not yet, so play accordingly, using only money that you have designated for gambling entertainment.
That being said, my opinion is that you have a better chance to win money playing cards than you do playing slot machines or roulette. When playing cards you get to use your own computer (your brain) and you can make choices that work for you such as:
Play conservatively
Be aggressive
Bet small amounts or bet your
bank
Pick your table
Pick your dealer
Play with strangers or play with friends
Drink while gambling or sip only water (I recommend never drinking alcohol while gambling)
Choose which casino
Set limits of losing or goals when winning
Use your intuition or rely strictly on rules you have established for yourself
And on and on.
When you play cards, you get to make the decisions that most affect your outcome. The only thing that you can’t affect is which cards are dealt to you. But when playing cards you can be assured that the casino and the other players don’t know which cards you or they will be dealt either.
