In order to achieve the best odds when you are playing blackjack, you need to be playing a perfect strategy every time. So you stand, hit , split and double down at the correct time depending on what you have in your hand, and what the dealer's face up card shows.
A 100% perfect stragey in blackjack at an online casino will also depend on the variant that you are playing, the house rules and how many decks the casino uses in the shoe: be that an actual shoe (where the cards are dealt from) or a virtual shoe). You can get a long way in blackjack by playing a basic strategy (see our article), but if you are looking for charts to help you achieve even higher odds then read on.
Check out the strategy chart below for starters: it covers blackjack variants that use between 4 to 8 decks. (Always read up on the house rules of the blackjack varaint that you are playing at the online casino that you are playing. If you can't find the infomation, contact the customer service team).
In this variant, the dealer must stand on soft 17 (generally abbreviated to S17) and you can double down after you have split.
The dealer´s face up card is shown at the top of the chart. The total of the hands that you are dealt first off is shown down the left of the table.
