Blackjack is not a game which is based completely in chance, there is a technical aspect to the game which players can exploit through carefully researched strategies. This is perhaps one of the reasons why so many players have enjoyed Blackjack over the years.
There are many common misconceptions of Blackjack among the general public, some of which are believed by those who currently play the game. Believing some of these myths could be affecting your game in a negative way, being able to seperate the truth from fiction can help you to win a game or two of Blackjack!
Blackjack is a game which has mystery tied into its very origins, even historians don't know where the game came from. Some believe it was during the days of the Roman empire while others believe the game originated in a Spanish short story in the Seventeenth century. The ambiguous origins of the game only serve to heighten some of the myths which surround the game. Films and TV are also a factor, they often portray casinos and casino games in a certain light and not always in the most accurate way. Many people go to the movies and see some fictitious characters playing a game of Blackjack and simply believe that is how it is played in real life, nevermind the fact that movies are known to dramatise things and may not even be showing Blackjack being correctly played!
A common misconception that hasn't been helped by movies and TV is that you need to be some sort of mathematical genius to be good at Blackjack, this could not be further from the truth. In reality, the rules of the game are not at all difficult to learn and the strategies are incredibly simple once you have put them into practise a few times. Being good at maths is not a requirement for being good at playing Blackjack.
Another myth is that you should avoid tables which have bad players on them. People believe that a table with bad players will somehow affect their odds of winning as their low skill level could cause experienced players to lose, albeit unintentionally. The truth is that you should not be concerned about the skill level of those who you share the table with, the game is still played at random and the inexperienced player can just as soon affect a dealer than the other players.
Yes, it's true! You don't in fact need to get 21 in order to win. Trying to get 21 is more likely to make you go bust, players should instead focus on making sure that they don't go bust or try and have a higher amount than the dealer instead.
With so many myths surrounding the game, is it any wonder that Blackjack is often viewed as a complicated game by the general public. By busting these common myths, we hope to have opened your eyes to a few new ways to play the game.
