Frequently Asked Questions
1. Should I always bet when I have a total value of 11?
While theoretically, there are some situations where you shouldn't bet at 11, always betting at 11 can make things simpler. In the long run, this strategy is undoubtedly profitable.
2. Should I double down on an 11 against a 10?
Yes, after receiving two cards, if you have an 11, you're in a strong position because both sides are trying to get closer to 21. Therefore, doubling down is a good idea when the dealer shows a card lower than 10.
3. Should I hit on 12?
Yes, you should hit on 12 because to double down, you need a hand value of 10 or 11 for the strategy to make sense. Considering that in this situation, you have a 30.7% chance of getting another 10-point card, forming a high hand.
4. Can I double down after hitting?
No, almost no 21-point game allows you to double down after hitting.
5. Should I double down on 10?
When you have a 10 and the dealer has a card lower than 7, you should double down. However, if the dealer also has a 10 or 11, you shouldn't double down. If the dealer has 7, 8, or 9, it's about the same whether you double down or not.
6. Can I double my bet after splitting?
In most casinos, once you've split your cards, you can't double your bet. However, a few casinos, especially online ones, allow you to double your bet on split hands. If this is the case, apply the same logic to your initial hand.
7. How many cards will I receive when doubling down in blackjack?
When you double down, you will receive only one additional card. In blackjack, new players often make the mistake of thinking they can get as many cards as they want when doubling down. If they are dealt a low card, doubling their blackjack bet may leave them with a very low hand total. |
