Basic strategy first then move on to counting

Basic. Strategy. (And variations) For starters, never play 6:5 Blackjack.

Learn basic strategy

Yes, find a counting system and learn it. Once you’ve got that down solid, work slowly on combining the two

Do you have experience with addiction?

Teaching someone blackjack can be tricky, but you're on the right track with the basic strategy card. It’s hands down the best tool for beginners - once they get comfortable with it, everything else falls into place. I’d suggest breaking things down into small chunks, like when to hit, stand, or double down, instead of teaching everything all at once. It’ll help them feel less overwhelmed.

If they want to practice in a low-stakes environment, Mirax Casino has some great blackjack tables that are perfect for learning. Plus, new players can grab a 5 USDT chip bonus with the code >!MXCHIP!< at sign-up, which gives them a nice little boost to start. And with their 325% up to 5.25 BTC welcome package, there’s plenty of room to practice without risking too much.

Here are a few additional modifications you can make to this list:

1. Emphasize the importance of understanding basic strategy and why it is helpful. Explain that using the basic strategy chart is not a sign of weakness, but rather a tool to help improve their chances of winning.

2. Encourage the player to practice with a deck of cards and simulate different scenarios. This can help them become more comfortable with the rules and strategy.

3. Teach the player about bankroll management and the importance of setting a budget for their Blackjack play. This will help them avoid overspending and make their experience more enjoyable in the long run.

4. Emphasize the importance of paying attention to the dealer's up card and adjusting their strategy accordingly. For example, if the dealer is showing a 6, it may be better to stand on a hand that would normally require a hit.

5. Remind the player to stay focused and avoid distractions while playing. Blackjack requires concentration and focus in order to make the best decisions.

I would start with teaching them proper basic strategy. Alot of the things you wrote out can be confusing to someone who doesn't play a ton.

Take the strategy that most casino s use when training their Surveillance people on basic strategy, repetition from the chart, write it out, say it out loud, flashcards.

Say it out loud example: Player 9, double 3 thru 6, otherwise hit. Player pair of 9s, Stand 7, 10, A, otherwise Split

I recommend learning basic strategies on youtube, as a lot of information that is not pieced together correctly is unlikely to be memorized and work right away.
As an option to also use as an alternative to freeslots for learning. I did so in the beginning on 7bit casino, I recommend this casino, as at registration you can get free $30 to start >!( enter bonus code 7NDB30 at registration). !<

A lot of options there are, but as for me I would recommend 7 main rules for starting ( long read )

Memorize Key Decisions: Emphasize the importance of memorizing key decisions that have the most significant impact on gameplay. This includes knowing when to hit, stand, double down, and split pairs.

Practice Patience: Remind the player that blackjack is a game of patience and discipline. Encourage them to resist the urge to deviate from the strategy, even if they feel pressured to act quickly.

Focus on the Long Term: Stress the importance of playing for the long term and making decisions based on statistical probability rather than short-term outcomes. Even if they experience losses in the short term, following the strategy will lead to better results over time.

Start with Low Stakes: Encourage the player to start with low stakes until they become more comfortable with the game and the basic strategy. This will help alleviate any fears of losing large amounts of money while they are still learning.

Review Hand Examples: Provide examples of common hand scenarios and walk through the optimal decisions based on the strategy. This hands-on approach can help reinforce the concepts and make them easier to remember.

Stay Calm and Confident: Remind the player to stay calm and confident at the table, even if they make mistakes or encounter challenges. Confidence in their decisions will help them stick to the strategy and avoid making impulsive choices.

Regular Practice: Encourage regular practice sessions to reinforce the basic strategy and improve decision-making skills. Whether it's through online blackjack games or casual practice with friends, consistent practice is key to mastering the game.

Blackjack 101 app helped a bunch. You can change the rules for each game and make decisions, if you mess up it will let you know. It takes awhile to get some of them correct because they seem like they don’t make sense. 

Almost everything regarding BJ is experience. Find something free, likely online, where you can play hands until you don’t have to look at the chart anymore. Some things should be obvious off rip but eventually all of them do. Then you can start learning to count.

I made a basic strategy spreadsheet and fill it out daily, sometimes twice a day, until I had every ace Erik down. Now I time myself when I fill it out.

Know the why behind most moves, it’s really intuitive. Then you only have the memorize the close calls.

The only way I was able to memorize it was with pen and paper. I write basic strategy as best I can. Then compare to the chart. Spend a few minutes going over what I got wrong then back to pen and paper. Rince/repeat. Start by just trying the hard totals.

Basic strategy charts helped me the most when I started. Just memorizing the hit/stand rules for each hand made a big difference in my win rate.

one word of advice that I can give you is to limit your play as much as possible. once you have made a good amount of money or the goal amount you set beforehand , leave the table/casino. Always stay level headed and don't get emotions involved.

Wizard of odds, BJA has a lot of free videos on yt etc...

Black Jack Apprenticeship has plenty of good stuff

BJA YouTube videos is the best way to start

BJA on YouTube is a good place to start. That’s where I first started about 2 years ago

Blackjack winrate numbers are fixed based on game conditions and bet spread. Very reliable where as in poker you can be an excellent player just playing with slightly better players and think you’re stupid everyday

You should already have some aptitude in memorizing charts. The good news is there’s a lot less to memorize here! The bad news is mistakes can cost you your entire hourly and there’s no “against that player however…” you either know it or you don’t.

One thing to look out for is a lot of the standard poker actions look very card counter-y. Ordering coffee. Stacking and shuffling chips. Betting and acting quickly regardless of outcomes. So a few things to watch out for.

The good news is you should be good at being comfortable in the casino and with putting off a persona to fool others at the table. Now you are also putting on a show for surveillance however, so it has to be a bit more precise. Bankroll requirements are similar, though arguably more rigid in blackjack as it is hard to find playable tables with lower minimums if you experience a downswing.

I have the same background. It's a complete different game. But you should have some experience with swings, so that's good. Try to get used to the idea of not having to think or intuit what your best move is. All the best moves are laid out for you already, no thinking required. This may be attractive or unattractive depending on your personality. Bad variance at poker is rarely the only thing to blame for a losing hand, but with blackjack, you're just a robot, and you don't have to wonder.

I just started using blackjack-trainer.net

Gives you score for your play... Although a decent number of my errors now are different for different strategy models i.e. Tiny error at most

Start with basic strategy first. And then learn KO count system. Warning: balanced systems such as hi lo are not worth the hassle.

And then most importantly, learn how to not get caught.

This sub is full of smugness and negativity sometimes. I agreed that the OP should be motivated by his own curiosity and do some research, but there is no need to act like a little bitch about it.

For the OP: There is something called Basic Strategy, look it up and learn it. If you want to become and advantage player, then you will also need to learn how to count cards, so you can bet and deviate from BS accordingly.

Best of luck!

If you were obsessed you’d know there is a strategy I’m sorry but what kind of post is this?

Look it up yourself.

1. Basic Strategy, you'll lose minimally, but you'll still lose over time. Look it up; wizardofodds is a good source.

2. Learn to card count, so you at least have an expectation of winning. We can recommend books.

3. Learn more advanced methods.

Nope no strategy! Just hit until you get 21 or greater!!!

You have asked a good question and do not feel bad about some of the comments on the comment section. I'm of the opinion that when it comes to learning, there is no limit. There are no perfect strategy (100% guarantee) in playing any of casino games including blackjack but you can learn the basic before betting. I started with those basic when I first discovered a very good casino. You can look it up here. It is user friendly and can also improve your skills.

The first basic strategy you must know is the 4-Deck to 8-Deck blackjack strategy. On this, look up your hand along the left vertical edge and the dealer's up card along the top. In both cases an A stands for ace. From top to bottom are the hard totals, soft totals, and split-able hands. There are two charts depending on whether the dealer hits or stands on soft 17.

other rules you need to know are

* Never take insurance or "even money."

* If there is no row for splitting (fives and tens), then look up your hand as a hard total (10 or 20).

* If you can't split because of a limit on re-splitting, then look up your hand as a hard total.

With this little explanation, I will advise you do some research on you own and try and improve your skills playing free games before betting real money. Always have it in mind that it is a lose or win game. Do not see winning as out of this world or losing as the worst. Good luck and happy playing.

Great to hear you're on a winning streak but basic strategy only minimizes the edge that the casino has on you as a player, it does not eliminate the edge completely.

To reverse the edge so you have the advantage you need to learn how to count cards. Some popular strategies include KO and Hi-Lo.

If you want to have a positive expected result from your play you learn to count cards. Learning basic strategy is trivial in comparison. Card counting is not rocket science, but it's not simply memorizing a table. For most people basic strategy is the final stop on the blackjack journey.

Know your luck if your lucky or not or the dealer is good cheater or the player is like the dealer

You will probably lose all of the money you put on the table, so don't bring money that you can't afford to lose. You might win, and that's really fun. But in the long run, you are more likely to lose than win so just have fun with it while you are there.

Look up "Blackjack basic strategy" charts and memorize what you can, this will help improve your chances of winning.

You are gambling your own money, make decisions you want, not what others want you to do. Don’t let people pressure you into decisions that go against your gut.

Never gamble with money you can't afford to lose.

Before you go into a casino, decide on exactly how much you're willing to play with and be absolutely firm with that limit.

Play for fun and not profit.

Bring a cheat sheet.

The goal of the game is not to get as close to 21 as possible, but as the seminal book on the game is titled the goal is to “Beat the Dealer.” Doing it with a 12 is as good as doing it with a three card 21. Get a basic strategy card, consult it every hand, don’t bring more $ to the table than you can afford to lose and have fun.
