Lesson description
Mr Blackjack shares common tricks and table rules casinos use to reduce your bankroll at the tables without you realizing it.
It takes time to build a healthy bankroll, but there are some simple tricks players can apply straight away to manage their bank roles like a pro. Lesson 8. Top tips for managing your bankroll in blackjack. The best tips that I can offer someone looking to manage their bank roles more effectively is to look at blackjack tables with proper payouts. Look for tables that have 3-2, or even 2-1 payouts on blackjack. Avoid blackjack tables offering 6-5 payouts. They're giving you less money for the same winning hand for no reason, other than to line their pockets more.
Avoid paying the bonus or side bets if the payout structure makes the house advantage greater than it should be. For example, you may find these two payout tables when you're playing the perfect pair side bet at a casino. Now, pay close attention to the colored pair. It's 12-1 in one casino, and it's 10-1 in another casino. This slight deviation will make a 20% difference on your payouts. This greatly affects your overall bankroll in the end. Another tip is to avoid blackjack variants that are heavily skewed in the casino's favor.
These games may offer fun and exciting ways to play blackjack, but take away some of the key components that are there to help the player's edge. For example, any game that offers a push on 22, like blackjack switch, and any game that takes out the tens, like Spanish blackjack. So we now know what we need to look for. Regular blackjack with no side bets. Respect the 5% to 10% bet rule, and 20% bank rule rules, and you will not only have more fun over a long period of time, but you will also play longer. Most likely, you'll earn comp rooms and dinners to go along with your winnings, which will lead to an overall better experience on and off the felt.
