The aim is to master every game situation - depending on your hand and the dealer's face-up card - in the best possible way. Instead of acting on instinct, the Basic Strategy specifies when you should <strong>pull, stand still, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/nl\/teilen\/\" alt=\"teilen\" title=\"share | Black-Jack-21.com\">Share<\/a> or double<\/strong> to minimise your expected loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to other casino games, blackjack is one of the few where skilful play can significantly reduce the house edge - with Basic Strategy to under 1 %! This means that if you play cleverly, you can do almost as well as the casino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Fun Fact:<\/strong> Studies show that players who use Basic Strategy stay in the game on average around 2.5 times longer than beginners who do not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/nl\/blackjack-strategie\/\" alt=\"Strategie\" title=\"Strategy | Black-Jack-21.com\">Strategy<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. the most important basic rules of the Basic Strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Basic Strategy is divided into four core decisions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hit (draw card):<\/strong> If your hand value is not strong enough and the dealer is likely to perform better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stand (remain standing):<\/strong> If your hand is strong enough not to risk breaking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/nl\/bust\/\" alt=\"\u00fcberkaufen\" title=\"overbuy | Black-Jack-21.com\">overbought<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Double Down (double):<\/strong> If you expect to get a strong hand with just one more card with a good starting card.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Split (share):<\/strong> If you have a pair that can be converted into two stronger hands.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These rules are based on the probability of how the dealer hand will develop and on your own hand value.
