The Odds for the Game of Blackjack

Video Transcript

Hi this is Daniel on behalf of Expert Village. In this series of clips we are going to be talking about basic 21 strategies, the game is more commonly known as blackjack. In this individual clip I want to talk about the odds that you are going to find while playing blackjack. The first thing you want to realize is that on any single two card hand your odds are only 42% in your favor that you would when money. It is only statistically over a large number of hands those odds begin to change. Now over a large number of hands the odds are only 49 ½% in your favor of winning money statistically over a large number of hands. So looking at it that way the house always has about half % advantage over the standard skilled pair. Now the house is greatly effected by the rules of the house but some strategies can swing the odds in the players favor. Such as card counting. They can swing the odds as much as a 1/2% to 1 ½ % over the house which gives the skilled player a great advantage and the ability to actually make money at a 21 table.
