Myths about Blackjack
There are many myths that were building around this card game. One of the most important myth that was created around this card game is that you must aim to get 21, but you must think of not as your main objective to get that number, your main objective must be to beat the dealer’s hand, and even if you don’t have 21, you can still win.
Another myth that was created around this game is that the dealer only plays by following the house rules that he will never change, he will never take a decision, and he will always be like that. If you are winning it means that the deck composition is right now in your favor, also another great thing about blackjack is that you can take decision, after you analyze what is happening on the table, you can use previous experience and you can take action so that you could win.
A really popular myth that is still alive around each and every casino that have blackjack, is that if you’ve lost 5-10 hands with the dealer, the chances that you will win are a lot bigger. This myth is not true. Mathematically speaking you has the same chances for winning/losing. Even if you lose 10 times in a row, you still have chances of 48% of winning against the dealer. This number is based on a large number games, so if you play just 10 games you will not probably win 4 or 5. This number will be valid if you play 100 blackjack games, and you will see that these statistics are true.
It is also a wide spread myth the fact that if you have at your table some unskilled players, this could also hurt your chances of winning. This myth is true, statistically speaking if somebody that plays blackjack randomly is at your table; this could hurt you a lot. It’s more likely that you lose too if you’ve got such a person at your blackjack table. This is why we are suggesting that you will stand out from that table and move to another one.
And the final myth that we are going to bust in this article is that if a player enters or leaves in the middle of the game you are going to lose, and this will cost you some money. This myth is not true, since your chances of winning will stay the same, the only difference will be that he will take/leave a card in the deck, and instead of taking that card, it could be yours or the dealer could take it depending during what moment of the game he leaves. So you shouldn’t be afraid if someone leaves. The only inconvenient that could be is that if somebody is leaving this could distract your attention for a moment, but professional players wont have any problem with that.
