Single deck blackjack offers some of the best odds available for casino players. If mastered fully, the game can yield a close-to-zero house advantage.

 

The following charts display the recommended course of action for players based upon millions of hands of blackjack simulated by advanced computer programs. Playing according to this strategy will theoretically yield a maximised advantage for players and is generally considered superior to various other methods such as guessing and playing on hunches, especially over long periods of play. If starting out as a beginner, it may seem like a lot to grasp, but will become second nature the more one plays.
