BLACKJACK基本策略中最容易犯的十个错误

Top 10 Blackjack Basic Strategy Mistakes
If you play blackjack for an hour or two, your results will be pretty unpredictable. You may win a lot, or you may lose a lot. Most of the time, you'll be somewhere in between.

In the short-term, good luck or bad luck decides whether you'll be a net winner or loser. However, if you average out your results over many hours, it becomes clear that playing smarter will save you a lot of money.

A typical blackjack player loses 2% of his total bets to the casino over the course of many bets. That may not sound like much, but it is four times as expensive as it need be. A basic strategy player in a typical 6-deck game loses approximately 0.5%. Playing a 2-deck game instead cuts the house edge to about 0.2%, and a single-deck game with decent rules is basically a break-even game.

If you are a $10 bettor playing a typical 6-deck game as offered on the Las Vegas Strip, you can expect to put around $600 in action in an hour of play. An average player will lose 2% of this, or $12 an hour.

A player using the correct basic strategy will lose 0.5% of $600 instead, or only $3.
What makes up this difference? What follows is a list of the most common errors I see made by blackjack players. The examples assume you are betting $10 per hand at a 6-deck game, where the dealer stands on all 17s and double after split is allowed.
