Blackjack - Decks and Player Positions
January 14th, 2012 | Author: admin
Today, we’re going to take a look at a couple key components to the game of Blackjack in the casino-decks and player positions.
Decks
Blackjack can be played with any number of decks. As the number of decks increase, the game becomes better for the house (casino). In the old days, the game was single-deck Blackjack. Eventually, casinos figured out that they could improve their odds by adding one more deck.
Today, single-deck Blackjack in the real world can be hard to find-unless you want to play $25+ per hand. Usually, the lower limit tables (under $25 per hand) are multi-deck games. Most of those use 4,6 or 8 decks.
Don’t be fooled by online casinos. Yes, they may use a single deck, but the deck is shuffled after each hand (unless specified). This isn’t the same as a single-deck game in the real world, because those games aren’t shuffled after each hand. It makes a difference. Real world single deck games are better for you.
That’s not to say that you shouldn’t play Blackjack online. Just be aware of the differences. For instance, since the online casinos shuffle after each hand, counting cards is of no use to you.
Player Positioning
If you’re playing Blackjack by yourself, this section won’t matter. But, if you’re playing with others, it pays to know the order of play.
The order of play starts with the player position to the left of the dealer. This position is known as first base. The order of play continues in a clockwise direction. The last player position to play is to the immediate right of the deal. This position is known as third base and it’s a coveted position to be in.

The Craps game plan
Have you ever seen The Lakers or any other top football team going into the Super Bowl without a game plan? I haven’t. And this is also true for the Craps game. You don’t enter a serious Craps game without some sort of a game plan. With a good Craps game plan to follow, it’s less likely that you’ll get caught up with all the “bad bets” at the table when things go wrong Vital questions your game plan must answer, for example is when to bet, what to bet on and how much to bet, etc.
