How to Win at Blackjack

We are in no way advocating illegal activity.

This video teaches you some basic rules associated with blackjack – like you should always hit when you have 11 or less.  Basically, the narrator uses basic logic, plus some risk estimation skills to play and win at blackjack.

He takes you through some basic hands of blackjack, and shows you that even if you follow the “rules” it doesn’t mean you can always win.  That is why it is a game of chance.  He also teaches us the concept of “surrendering.”

The second chapter is on card counting, which is kind of against the rules.   For educational purposes, I watched it.  You can watch it too, for educational purposes only.  This fellow teaches us the MIT Blackjack-Approved Counting method.  Whoa.  So that Kevin Spacey movie was partially accurate?

I’ll admit that the video is pretty dry, but it teaches you some strategies that would conceivably help you win at blackjack.  Since that’s what it promises to do, I can’t complain.
