New Blackjack Strategy - Regress to Progress.

Shri

Blackjack strategies have been circulated for some time, and many players use these strategies to profit. Nowadays, we would like to share with you a new strategy that has gained popularity recently – it's the Blackjack Regress Strategy.

The idea behind this strategy is to egress when necessary. If there are no special conditions, regressing is a highly favorable rule for players. It originated at the Resorts Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey in 1979. This casino introduced a regress rule without conditions that was so advantageous to players that it was eventually removed. It was too advantageous for the casino, unless the Blackjack rules were extremely unfavorable for the players.

In Macau, the regress rule is allowed, as players cannot regress when facing the dealer's Ace. In fact, approximately 62% of the value of regress comes from this situation. This is because the truth about Blackjack is that every hand, no matter how bad it looks, can win, and every hand, no matter how good it looks, can lose (or push).

When you regress, you only lose half of your wager. In this way, if your initial hand's score is more than negative 50%, you should regress. Negative 50% is a very poor score. In situations other than facing the dealer's Ace (where regressingis not allowed), there are six extremely poor starting hands you should regress with: in each of these cases, you should have a clear idea of what you expect your hand to look like after playing it thousands of times. As discussed earlier, you can use the concept of Long-Run Expectation (LRE) as a percentage, which can be positive (profitable) or negative (losing).

In Macau, there are six situations where you can regress. Five of them are when facing a dealer's face card with a value of 10. The only exception is when the dealer's face card is a 9, and your initial hand is 16 (10 and 6 or 9 and 7). In addition, you should never regress when you have an Ace in your initial hand. You might be tempted to regress with 15 against a dealer's 9 or 13 against a dealer's 10, but doing so in the long run is not advisable. We often see players in Macau make this mistake, and it only results in more losses. The Regress Six appears in only 7% of cases, while in the other 93% of cases, you need to make the appropriate move with your initial hand – either stand, hit, double down, or split.

Interestingly, if you can regress when facing the dealer's Ace, you will  regress in many cases, especially with the following initial hands: 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, as well as a pair of 3s, a pair of 6s, a pair of 7s, and a pair of 8s. This may seem like a lot, but it accounts for only 3.8% of all initial hands. This is because the probability of the dealer getting an Ace as their face card is much lower than the probability of getting a 10 – the dealer gets four 10s for every Ace they get.

We believe that this strategy is a good one and, to a large extent, it can significantly improve your gameplay.
