Blackjack Strategy Basics

Hit, stand, double, and split — decisions that cut the house edge.

Blackjack is one of the lowest house-edge games when you use basic strategy — a chart of correct plays for every player total versus dealer up-card.

Never take insurance as a long-run play. It is a side bet with a steep edge dressed up as protection.

Doubling on 11 and splitting aces or eights are classic moves. Deviations exist for specific rule sets (dealer hits soft 17, number of decks).

Live blackjack adds pace and side bets like perfect pairs. Side bets are entertainment — budget them separately from your main hand.
