Using the Blackjack Strategy Chart

How the Strategy Chart was Developed

We cannot take credit for producing the above blackjack strategy chart. Students at MIT actually simulated thousands of blackjack hands to determine statistically what the best action to take is. Math does not lie and is not emotional. At times you may "feel" like taking a card or doubling down against the advice of the above chart is the right thing to do but statistically it is not and over the long term you will lose more than you win. At times you may be correct, but after several of the same instances you will lower your winning percentage. Always take the advice of the above blackjack strategy chart and you can be sure you are playing with the best advantage possible against the casino.

Playing online it is easy to reference the chart by simply bookmarking this page but if you plan on playing at a brick and mortar casino you can also print the above chart to carry it with you (see our printable blackjack strategy chart). When playing at a brick and mortar casino you can reference the chart and the staff at the casino will not care. We do recommend being somewhat discreet, but referencing the chart at the blackjack table is allowed. Worse case scenario a casino employee may ask you to put the chart away, in which case you can simply visit a different casino. We have never experienced this, but in theory it could happen.
