Tournament Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
The "house edge"
The "house edge" (the amount of money a casino expects to win from any player) for blackjack is estimated to generally be in the region of 2.5%. In other words, the casino would expect to win £2.50 in every £100 wagered by the average player.
By playing the "perfect game"
By playing the "perfect game" as per the strategy sheet you can reduce the house edge to 0.50% or even lower. The strategy sheet is the result of much mathematical analysis and is even featured by some casinos on their web sites.
