Why would you want to play blackjack? Why play blackjack at all? There are so many other table games in the casinos, be it in Las Vegas or anywhere else. Right now, in Singapore, two more casinos have sprung up, so there are so many casino games in so many places in the world for your fancy. Why choose blackjack? The most probable reason is because you like the game and enjoy the game contents and rules. Let me tell you the other reasons…
1) It is a game that requires strategy and training. Of course many casinos are aware of this and some of them have done random things like killing 3 cards before they deal the game to the players and things like that. Sometimes, it would be better off if you played on private tables as the dealer plays the game as it is and basic strategy and card counting can be employed to achieve a better outcome of winnings.
2) When you have done your footwork and trained hard in card counting and basic strategy, and you win big time, your accomplishment of that result makes you feel right at the top of the world! But if you win due to random playing and luck, you are only happy to a certain extent and is not a feeling that your hard work has paid off.
3) When you have trained hard and learned blackjack basic strategy and counting cards, you will still need to be focused in the real casino environment. Cause at times, people get carried away to use their instincts of dealing cards and not following basic strategy just because it “looks right” to do so. If you can go beyond this level where people who thought they know basic strategy and card counting still performed these mistakes ever so often, then you should be playing blackjack and winning big time!
When you can achieve successfully to play blackjack and win big, you know you have done all the above 3 things right. The exhilaration of winning big at blackjack gaming is many times more rewarding than the average random table games played in the casinos.
There are many random games which people think are based on probability and these games work against the players who are ignorant.
For example of a game that I find interesting is roulette table game. This game is purely random and there is no way to create a strategy based on your mathematics to leverage on the game. Of course if you use physics instead, yes you can leverage on the roulette game like understanding the speed of the ball, the wheel speed, the way the dealer throws the ball and the location of the place where he throws and the location of the ball where it lands before it drops into one of the number slots. So how to win big on roulette against blackjack is to employ different strategies and why play blackjack should be looked at as an achievement resulted from one’s skills and trainings and discipline.
