Strategic Ways To Play Blackjack

What is Blackjack Magic Number?

Everybody talks about blackjack because the logic behind is simple and winning is within reach. Each player around the blackjack table wishes to have card total of 21. Why? Because anyone who gets this total automatically wins that blackjack round. Otherwise, each one will start crossing their fingers and yearn that his or her card is not busted (or 22 or more in total) but not lower or equal than the dealer.

Moreover, each player must know also the blackjack options available to him such as surrender, hit, double down and stand. Proper chips management and card strategy will keep you stay longer round after round of playing blackjack. This could mean increasing your chances of winning bigger pot, isn't it?

However, there other ways of winning in blackjack game. Do you think 21 is only the magic number in blackjack?

Most casinos offer so-called side such as "2 Run 21," "2 Through 6," "Bust It," "Progressive Blackjack," "Royal Match" and a number of "offside betting" as other gamblers used to call it.

For the meantime, let us focus on one particular and very popular one, which is the Blackjack 7's. Other casinos refer to it us Super 7's. Before you do this side bet see to it first that casino or gambling site you're playing at offers this kind of wagering.

The objective of this side bet is simple. If you get 2 sevens regardless of suite and in your 3rd card (or after hitting) you get another seven, then you don't only win that blackjack match but also the so-called Super 7's. (7 + 7 = 14; 14 + 7 = 21; 21 = blackjack!)

Generally speaking, here is the pay-off for this side betting. If a player receives a seven (of clubs) that person gets paid 3 to 7. Assuming that the other card is also a seven (of diamonds) the pay off will be 50 to 1. However if it is the same suite the pay off will be 100 to 1. With a pair of sevens in your hand, you could probably have double down if this Super 7 side bet is not acknowledged in your playing area, isn'it.

Having a card total of 14 is neither bad nor good in blackjack. It all depends on the dealer's upcard. Lets us assume that the upcard is less than 5 (but never an ace) the best thing to do is to make a hit. If that player gets any seven, he or she wins blackjack and gets paid 500 to 1 for the side bet. Furthermore, if the dealt card is another seven of clubs the pay off will be 5000 to 1!

Perhaps, you are wondering if it is possible to get exactly the same card in blackjack. The answer is yes. Since casinos have found out that more and more gamblers turn out to be winners. They shuffle two or more decks in blackjack rounds, which they call it as a shoe.

Again let us remind you that different casinos have different rules regarding this side bet.
