PostHeaderIcon Money Management At Video Blackjack

By now it has become the ultimate cliché but like most clichés it's worth repeating—gambling is streaky. Therefore, to avoid being wiped out during a cold streak, the astute gambler must have enough of a bankroll to weather the storms of negativity that ultimately come his way. In video blackjack, a total bankroll of 200 times your maximum bet should be enough to sustain you through even the worst negative fluctuations. Of course, if you are playing a negative-expectancy machine that even with card counting and proper strategy yields less than you put in—for example, one where the machine keeps all pushes and pays two/or one at blackjack—no money management can help you overcome the odds. The negative storms will ultimately swallow you.

However, there is no reason to play such machines since there are many decent video-blackjack games around. Even on some of the otherwise negative machines, card counting can give the skillful player a slight edge—or at least an even game. Just as in video-poker, the rules and paybacks determine which machines are worthwhile bets. However, unlike video poker, where more advanced analysis is necessary to determine the percentage edge on a machine, the video-blackjack machines reveal their secrets even to the non-mathematician. Just use the information in this book concerning rule variations to determine just what games are worth playing. Add the proper points when the rule or option favors the player, subtract the proper points when it favors the casinos. In this way, you can determine the house edge on all but the most obscure video-blackjack machines. With proper play and casino comps, many machines are a worthwhile gamble—indeed, some are better than their table-game cousins!

The key to winning money in traditional blackjack play is to bet more when the count favors you, bet less when it doesn't. You can do this on machines that deal more than one round. Bet the minimum number of coins on the first round and in all negative counts and the maximum number of coins in any positive count.

On single-round machines, you should bet whatever you are comfortable with and use your card counting skills and basic strategy variations to get a small edge.
