By Comprehending the Odds Associated With Blackjack You'll Probably Win More
If you really want to increase your possible chances of winning when you're playing the game of blackjack, you must learn and comprehend the odds as well as the basic strategy that is associated with the game. Your understanding of the odds tables below will greatly enhance your potential profitability while you are playing the game of blackjack.
The first chart that is displayed will give you an idea as to how often that you can expect to be dealt a hand that's within a specific range of values. As you can see, you will only be dealt a blackjack approximately 4.8% of the time while you are playing. That means that you can expect a blackjack about every twenty-one hands on average. About 30% of the time you'll be dealt 2 cards that will have a hard value between 17 and 20. Then 38.7% of the time you'll be dealt a hand that's between 4 and 16, which could be a hard or soft total. Either of these hands require you to make a decision that is based on the dealer's up card.
* A Soft Total is a hand that contains an Ace.
* A Hard Total is a hand that does not contain an Ace.
It's very important for you to know the possibility of busting your hand when taking another card. The odds chart below will give you that information. For example, if your 2 cards total 15, you will have a 58% chance of busting your hand if you take another card and 62% if you hit with a total of 16. The more that you study these charts, the more you will realize that blackjack is not that easy to win.
The Player's Bust Rate is Calculated by the Total Hand Value of the Player
* 92%... if Your Hand Value is: 20
* 85%... if the Player's Hand Value is: 19
* 77%... if the Player's Hand Value is: 18
* 69%... if the Player's Hand Value is: 17
* 62%... if the Player's Hand Value is: 16
* 58%... if the Player's Hand Value is: 15
* 56%... if the Player's Hand Value is: 14
* 39%... if the Player's Hand Value is: 13
* 31%... if the Player's Hand Value is: 12
The following chart shows the probabilities of the dealer busting which is based on the dealer's up card. As you can easily see, the dealer's highest percentage decreases with an up card of a 5 or a 6. Both of these cards are not created equal. If the up card of the dealer is a 6, then the dealer's down card could be an Ace. If this was the case, the dealer would have 17 and would not take a hit. If the dealer's up card is a 5, the dealer will always have to take another card.
The Bust Rate of the Dealer is Determined Soley by the Up Card of the Dealer
* 35%... if Dealer's Up Card is: 2
* 37%... if Dealer's Up Card is: 3
* 40%... if Dealer's Up Card is: 4

* 23%... if Dealer's Up Card is: 9
* 23%... if Dealer's Up Card is: 10
* 17%... if Dealer's Up Card is: Ace
The last chart illustrates the possibilities of the dealer's final hand which you'll need to beat if you're expected to win. Over 12% of the time the final hand of the dealer will total 21. The total percentage of these possible hands is 71.3%. That means the dealer will bust about 28.7% of the time. If you did not bust when you were playing, you would have won those hands.
