Blackjack has always been the favourite for skilled casino players as the house advantage on blackjack is naturally very low. A seasoned player can actually succeed in reducing the house edge to almost zero by following optimal Basic Blackjack Strategy or BBS.
It takes discipline and a keen eye to follow BBS, which varies according to the rules of each specific blackjack game. At Betfair Casino, a UK licensed casino, you can play Zero Blackjack, Classic Blackjack, European Blackjack, lucky 7 Blackjack, and single deck Blackjack. The rules of each create their own optimal BBS.
To play optimal blackjack strategy you need to stay focused, know when to hit, stand, split etc based on knowing only your hand and the dealer's face up card.
As you can tell, blackjack is a game of strategy. The aim is to obtain a hand value that is closer to 21 than that of the dealer, without going over 21. Your game is strictly with the dealer, other players at the table do not affect your game. The rules of play for the dealer are strictly dictated, leaving no decisions up to the dealer.
