Winning Blackjack - Part 5

With so many variations of blackjack and the introduction of side bets to this game, which one do I play? Which variation gives you the better odds of winning? Should I play these side bets or not? Should I sit at a table that has six decks or eight? Is six to five odds better than three to two odds? The answer to all these questions is simple. Your asking the wrong questions..

Paying out odds

……An easy way to work out the paying odds on three to two will be to pay even money on your bet than pay out half your bet, ie; a bet of ten dollars is calculated at ten dollars plus five dollars, which will result in a payout of fifteen dollars. A bet of fifty dollars would be fifty dollars plus twenty five dollars, resulting in a payout of seventy five dollars and so on.

The payout on a ten dollar bet with six to five odds would be twelve dollars (needless to say if you have a choice, play on the table that offers three to two odds on blackjack).

If the dealer is dealt a ten value card and you are dealt a blackjack you will need to wait until the hand is completed to see if the dealer receives an ace resulting in a push. If the dealer is dealt an ace and you are dealt a blackjack a call for insurance is made and you will be given the choice to take a payout of even money or risk the dealer playing out his hand. In which case if he receives a ten value card the result would be a push. If he deals himself any other card other than a ten value card he will pay you three to two or six to five, depending on your table rules.
