Blackjack strategy

Basic strategy + bankroll rules (your neon armor).

Blackjack is one of the few casino games where correct decisions matter every hand. The edge comes from discipline: use basic strategy, avoid side bets, and keep your bet sizing consistent.

Quick rules
  • Always know the table rules (blackjack payout, dealer hits/stands soft 17)
  • Avoid side bets (often high house edge)
  • Flat bet unless you’re using a proven advantage method (advanced topic)
  • Quit when tired/tilted—mistakes are expensive
Decision framework

How to think about each hand

Hard totals

With a hard 12–16, you’re often in “pain.” Versus strong dealer upcards, hitting is frequently correct even if it feels bad.

Soft totals

Soft hands (A + X) have built-in safety. You can be more aggressive (hit/double) because you can’t bust as easily.

Pairs

Splitting is about maximizing EV, not “making two hands.” Some pairs should be split often; others almost never.
Bankroll

A simple sizing rule

If you want to reduce volatility, keep your average bet small relative to your session bankroll. A practical starting point is 1–2% of your session bankroll per hand, then stop if you hit your pre-set stop-loss.
