Tips & Strategy

• Dealer stands on soft 17 (S17) favors the player; H17 raises the house edge
• Blackjack pays 3:2 beats 6:5 — the long-run difference is significant
• Basic strategy cuts the house edge sharply — turn on hints to learn
• Hi-Lo counting: 2-6 = +1, 7-9 = 0, 10-A = -1; raise bets at positive true counts
• Double most often on hard 9-11 vs a weak dealer upcard
• Always split 8-8 and A-A; never split 5-5 or 10-10
• Surrender hard 16 vs dealer 9/10/A, hard 15 vs dealer 10
• More decks reduce counting efficacy but lower variance
