Blackjack Odds Web

The game became known as Blackjack because if a player held a Jack of Spades and an Ace of Spades as the 1st two cards, the player was paid out extra. In 1931, Nevada re-legalized casino gambling where BlackJack became one of the primary games of chance offered to gamblers. As some of you may recall, 1978 was the year casino gambling was legalized in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The object of the game is to obtain a hand of cards totaling up to 21 or as close to 21 as possible without going over. Once all bets are placed, each player and the dealer will receive two cards. Starting to the dealer's left side, the cards are dealt in a round one at a time to each player ending with the dealer receiving his second card face down. Each card in Blackjack has a certain value. You win if your hand is closer to 21 than the dealer's hand. The 10, Jack, Queen, and King are all valued at 10. Double - if you think you will win without getting more than one card you double. You have to add an amount equal to your original wager and receive only one card. Insurance - is offered to the players if the dealer's up card is an Ace, to protect against a dealers Black Jack. Surrender - this decision is quite rare and not offered is most casinos. After you see your starting hand and the dealers up card and you don't think you can win, you have to give your cards back to the dealer immediately. If you surrender you will only lose half of your original bet.
