Question

When do you place the bet?

Community Answer

Place your bet before the cards are dealt. Split, double down, and insurance bets take place after the cards have been dealt.

Question

If my hand is lower than the other players' hands but beats the dealer, do I win?

Community Answer

Yes. Each of the players is playing the dealer only, not the other players.

Question

Does the house almost always deal a 10?

Community Answer

Not always, but the chances are a lot higher, seeing as every deck, has a 4/13 (16/52) chance of getting a 10.

Question

Is it possible to proceed with only two players?

Community Answer

Yes, it is, with one being the dealer and the other being the player. The chances of you winning go up when there are fewer people playing.

Question

Is it true that a ten strategy should not be used against a dealer's ace after he peeks for blackjack?

Community Answer

Yes. The highest that dealer can have is 20, and 5 out of 9 times will have to draw cards (six out of nine on a table where he has to draw on soft 17).

Question

Can I play without being in a casino?

Community Answer

Yes, as long as you are not betting real money then you can play it at home or even play a virtual version of the game such as an app. Just beware if any real money is in play, then it is illegal gambling.
