that's a good thing for the player, if more 10's and aces come out, that's a bad thing. If more small cards, especially 4's and 5's come out. Take a look at this chart and the effect each card makes for the player for the rest of the shoe.
If you are in a shoe and see a bunch of 10s and aces come out early, take a break or bet the table minimum.
If you up your bet, and the dealer gets blackjack, well you had just as much chance to get that blackjack, and remember, if both u and the dealer get the same number of blackjacks in a session, thats a good thing! If you are just starting out, just pay attention to the 10s and aces and raise your bet when you haven't seen any in a while. If you look at stories from the big counters, their biggest losses are at a high count and the cards just don't go their way. The rest of the cards just add variance.īut in a high count, there are more tens and aces, and the dealer is just as likely as you to get blackjacks and 20s. So an ideal situation in blackjack would be to trade blackjacks with the dealer right? we win 1.5x when we win and the dealer only wins 1x when they win.
