Blackjack Basic Strategy - BY THE BOOK ONLY
If you were to play Blackjack EXACTLY as the book said, how do you think you'd do? In this episode we play EVERY hand against the dealer with perfect basic strategy and exactly per what the book says! No variation, no change. We stay when it says stay, hit when it says hit, double when it says double and split when... well you get it! haha! Let's see how this goes
NOTE: We are not a casino nor professionals. We are just having fun playing the game. We are not responsible for any decisions, losses, wins, etc. you might make based on our videos. Have fun and play responsibly!

Basic Strategy says NEVER EVER buy insurance. Table rule states that dealer STANDS on all 17's........good for the player. Also dealer pays 3:2 on blackjack good for the player. Remember prior to playing ALWAYS look at the table rules. NEVER EVER play a 6:5 blackjack table. As an example on a $100 bet a 3:2 table will pay $150 while a 6:5 table pays only $120.
Why are you criticising the book? Mathematically it's the correct play! It doesn't guarantee you a win! 😇
Great video guys. Thanks for posting.
At 14:00 the second hand is player 12 vs dealer 3. Basic Strategy calls to hit and dealer says he never hits. The reason for hitting is that there are 9 cards that will make a hand for the player while only 4 cards that will bust.

math is hard for u? Its at 13:00 not 14....
What was starting bet and was it flat bet beside following 5he card hard to tell from above
All hail Basic Strategy! ✊ LOOLOOLOOLOO!!
Lmao the insurance part crack me up. Subscribe, thanks for the video guys
Hey gents how many decks did you play?
insurance for a blackjack hand is even money instead of 3 to 2.
Few errors not by the book. As a blackjack dealer I can tell you this is rarely the outcome of a single shoe with basic strategy.

@@db792spoken like most. Math is math, your loss can be mitigated by using your brain. Basic strategy doesn’t change because there’s more players. Study a little harder and you just might get there. If other players at the table are why you think you’re losing or winning, you don’t understand the game your playing.
just tried using the Blackjack card online and went from $100 to $400 in just 30 minutes doing the martingale System Started from $2 starting unit only issue was table max bet was $80 i still didnt reach near the max table limit so im happy :D max i got too was a $32 bet

just an fyi, martingale increases the chances that you walk away with a win, but when you lose, you lose more. And it is losing in the long run. I had a friend lose $1300 after losing 8 roulette spins in a row from martingale. make sure to walk away and not do it often!

16 vs 9 and 10 is a surrender my good sir LOL
It works!! 😃
Your book is wrong. You're supposed to split 8 and aces always. You can't fault the book on every loss saying it failed you. And you're supposed to double hard 11 against 10.

Surrender the 8’s Vs the face cards
The book was made using computer simulations which depend on a full or mostly full table to "play out" correctly.... a person didnt "write the book" a computer simulated an uncountable number of hands and then recorded which moves won the most. This chart or "basic strategy" is the result of these simulations. Also how can the dealer be showing 12 to hit 12vs12? I feel like these dudes just get really lucky at the casino and are blaming the book for it.

You got no clue what you are talking about, no offense It works thanks to the law of large numbers, it doesn’t have to be a full table either lol buy something from Standford Wong if you Wang to learn for real
Player 12 vs dealer 2 or 3. Player should HIT BECAUSE against dealer's 2 nine cards will help him while only the four ten value cards will bust him. Against a 3 only five cards will bust him while 8 cards will help. Basic Strategy.
The book is working fine but you need to learn your variations too

Also, your friend kind of seems like he has never played blackjack in his life haha... He most likely loses a lot of money in the casinos and will continue to be a losing player until he learns better strategy. I know it's all for fun but yeeeeeaaaaa! Basic strategy is the ONLY proper way to have a chance in the long run against casinos.

Also, you are still a losing player with perfect basic strategy. I would still use it to make your money last longer, but you will lose in the long run relying only on that.
You are not playing by the rules. That chart says the dealer doesn't peek for blackjack, yet you did the whole time. What's the point of using a basic strategy chart for that rule if you aren't going to follow it?
Flat betting is a sure path to ruin.

No, perfect basic strategy will give the casino about a 0.5% edge. So long term you BARELY lose. So this is accurate because there is alot of variance in blackjack, up days and down days. This happens to be an up day.
