Most Beneficial Starting Hands in Blackjack
Blackjack is one of the easiest casino games to learn and also one of the most beneficial . When we talk about blackjack, the most frequently asked questions are related to the initial hands because this is really the most important thing in the game. The hands in this card game can be divided into groups according to their value and according to the benefit they bring to the players. Some hands are especially beneficial for the player and in this post we will focus on them. We are going to offer you some advice on the following five types of hands: the soft, the hard, the folded, the ones that divide and of course the ones that make a Blackjack. The latter type are naturally the best because they ensure a profit from the start of the game.
They are also called a natural or natural 21 Blackjack that is paid 3: 2 or 1.5 times the bet. The natural 21 consists of a 10-point card (which can be Jack, Lady, King or 10) and an Ace. The next good value hand is hard 11 with a card 8 and another card 3, a 9 and another 2, a 7 and a 4 or a 6 and another 5. The odds of this type of hands are 0.6674% of the total bet by the player which means that of every € 100 you can win about € 66.74. It is advisable to follow the numbers before doubling the bet and not do so if the value of the hand exceeds 16 points. Another hand that must be taken into account is the hard 20 that is one of the most lucrative hands in blackjack. This hand is achieved by receiving two cards worth 10 each. In this case, the probability of winning is 0.7918% of the bet made, which means that € 79.18 will be won out of every 100 euros wagered.
In this hand it is advised not to divide the hand into two 10s because it is not at all certain the value that will be obtained in the new formed hands. The last type of hands is the soft 20 group consisting of an Ace and a 9. The probability percentage of this hand is 0.7918% of the amount wagered. This percentage is the same as in hard 20 and is therefore considered as a good starting hand. In the long run the player can receive € 79.18 of every € 100 he bets. If the dealer's discovered card allows it, the bet can be doubled since the hand also equals 10 points and the maximum that can be obtained is 20 points.
