Since the casino opened, one town over, I have been going and playing blackjack a few times here and there. I have never really gambled prior, including scratch offs, until then. I ONLY play blackjack.

Every time I have started with $100.00, and more recently kept $100.00 in reserve... Just in case I start out rough. Over three months going here is what I have learned, and been successful (i.e. making money, or breaking even) doing.

Blackjack tips:
**Money management is how you actually MAKE money at BJ.**

-Do not follow the "rules" the casino dealer, or other players at table tell you blindly.

-2's and 3's are WILD CARDS. Not BUST cards. I do not double down ever.

-4, 5, and 6 ARE bust cards, and you should double down when possible.

-Double down on (your) 11 only if dealer has a 7 or less is showing. Otherwise, you just take your 'hit'. If someone else at the table wants to throw their money up there, let em. I offer it up to people, some do it, and lose more than they win. But that's greed for you.

-Split Aces and 8's if the dealer is not showing a face, or ace.

-If the dealer is showing a BUST CARD do NOT take the free hit on a soft anything. You want THEM to bust. You will draw a 10/Face more times then not on a 'soft' anything.

-Unless you have the minimum table bet out there, ALWAYS buy insurance when the dealer pulls an ACE. Especially when you have a 11, 20, or higher bet on table.

-Do not do progressive betting, double downs, splits and all that crazy shit. Pick one, and stick with it. You will lose your ass trying to do them all. I typically never go higher than $20.00, and typically play at $15 every hand religiously.

-Set a limit for yourself. Whether double or tripling you money for the day, or time on a clock. What I like to do is win a few hundred in red, and then start asking for green on the win ($15 bet) so they take a few red, and I get green instead. I replace the couple of red from my pile, and once I have all green, and no more red, I leave and cash out. No matter if I am winning or losing, or how long I have been there.

-I do NOT hit on a 12/13 when facing a 2/3. I almost always get the bust card I want the dealer to have.

Keep in mind. The way you are playing YOUR cards will effect the cards the dealer gets. Especially on those 'soft' hands, splits, etc..

-Play consistent!!!!! If you are never going to hit on a 12/13/16 then NEVER DO IT. If you are trying to win using "the force" and always changing your game play on those hands, you are almost guaranteed to lose your ass over time.

-If the dealer draws a 20/21 five times in a row. Get up and move. Same if you are losing hand after hand. Do not let pride, or a nice dealer, fuck up your money. If you are losing, move your ass to a new table and do it before sitting there taking it for 12-25 hands in a row. Especially if you are pulling junk cards.

-When someone enters, or leaves, the table. Typically someone is going to get a BJ. Increase your bet. If dealer gets ACE, buy insurance against it.

-If someone is playing crazy at your table. Get up and move. Their inconsistent play will fuck up your cards whether you are down stream or upstream from them. If you are there to make money, you need to move. If you are there to have fun and do not give a shit, mail your check or money order to....

Keep in mind, these are my tips from experience and winning money playing this way. I used to follow the rules from wizard of odds, and what the dealer and others told me. However, I would burn through my bank roll, and typically only break even or lose. Doing it my way has earned me some nice cabbage playing consistently this way. Regardless of what others say, and the dealer rolling their eyes at you.

Feel free to add in your own tips.
