The secret is bet management to keep in the game and then learn when to walk away simple.
100% I’m bad at the walking away part 🤦♂️
Easy if it’s hot keep going if it’s cold leave simple 😂
Don’t go with this weak simple hi/low. It does work. It probably has an overall edge of 1/2%. Learn one of the best counts out there. Buy Ken Uston’s book, “Million Dollar Blackjack.” Get an overall edge of 1 1/2%. That’s about 3x stronger than hi/low. I’m not knocking this system. It does work. But if you can, why not get all the edge can? It’s easier to take the path of least resistance than to apply yourself more. I’ve sat at the blackjack tables playing hi low wanting more of an edge. And I bet Ben and Colin have as well. Don’t settle for less. It does take more time to learn multi-parameter count (side-count of aces, since aces are paramount in betting strategy). But you’re likely going to make 3x more.
@@jimkline746 thanks for this man definitely gonna look into the book
@@JJ-eu3fl anytime brother
Also from what I've learned, it's best to assume the dealers facedown is always a 10 due to the amount of 10's in a deck.
that's basically it
i've also learned that if the dealer shows a low number for example a 2-6 and i have a 15 showing sometimes staying is the best option due to what you said. there's going to be a high chance they get a 10 and they have to hit.
There are 16 tens in a normal blackjack deck. That's less than one in three. I must open a casino.

Playing blackjack as an average player with a 2% disadvantage is still better than playing the slot machines with a 10% disadvantage on slots.
True! Maybe my comment was an exaggeration, but the point is: learn basic strategy and cut the casino’s edge to 0.5%!
sure it's better, i guess, but you're still losing EV
Yeah, you are losing your money slower.
Switch to full pay video poker.
reason, 10% disadvantage = very high payouts if you win - or you can sit and play blackjack for hours and hopefully last long enough to make a few grand
I'll stick with UNO thank you.
XD True
Same, this is too complex
Uno seems more complex than this
Very tru
It's very fun. Give it a try.
The most important thing to remember in blackjack is never split 10s. I learned that the hard way.
Beginners luck is totally a thing, my first night of casino blackjack. I split 5 10's. Won every single one. Hasn't happened since that night.
I think it might be good to mention in the example of splitting the two aces and they were dealt face cards, that isn’t a blackjack, it’s just 21 and you win at 1:1. Great video. 👍
Sometimes it's not better to split ace's depends on what the dealer has you only get one card each plus you have to match the bet
And you have double your bet I wouldn't do it if the dealer has a 10 and you have a lot out there you can loose twice
Never buy insurance
@@dcm12388 It's always correct to split Aces unless you're down to your last bet and can't pay to do so. Period. Yes, Aces against a dealer 10 or Ace can be scary, but splitting is mathematically the most advantageous action.
I don't get scared of the dealers up card never play with scared money you will always loose it

Some casinos will watch your betting cycle. If you are betting small, then all of a sudden put a huge bet out. They will identify you as an "advantage gambler" and just reshuffle the deck.
Either that or do flat betting
@@emceehawaii7542 forced flat bet with the threat of permanent banning so next time they can confiscate their winnings.
We have a lot more tricks then a simple reshuffle. Counting a 6 deck shoe of cards is not easy and is less effective.
How? The shuffling machine is used at regular intervals, aren't they? Can they use it any time they want?
@@glieseseventen4921 they can actually, the shuffling machines can hold both decks at a time do even if one deck isn't finished shuffling they'd be able to swap decks.
Thanks for the great vid in only 15 mins it had lots of important information. I am going to start playing blackjack with mates soon and wanted to learn how to play properly and this video explained greatly so thank you for your help I'm going to try to learn basic strategy so I can win!
Great tutorial thanks for putting so much time into making these videos
The fact is most people in a casino are just hoping to win. The entertainment factor of being in the casino is the draw, for most of them. They don't want to kill the buzz by actually thinking and playing correctly, even when there is free information online on how to play perfectly. Thank you for another great video!
Thanks! Well, hopefully this video is helpful for the few who DO want to learn to play a winning game.
How good do you have to be in blackjack to get kicked out of a casino my average is 55 to 59 percent winning and drawing and my losing odds are 41 to 45 percent is that good enough to get kicked out of a casino i know you think i am crazy wanting to get kicked out of the casino the only reason why i want to get kicked out is so that i know i am a awesome blackjack player

I didn't know that. That's a really good tip!
I already know how to play and when is the best time to hit, but this definitely helped me see some of my blind spots.
Not so much when to hit but to stay, double down, and split. Its alot more complex than most ppl think. Its not about just getting 21 but to make the dealer bust
very clear video. when I was young, there was no KZhead and we learn black jack from friends. I always have doubt the black jack I learnt is not official, but there were!
Back in high school my ap stats teacher taught us how to properly gamble and play casino. He said that greed is what will make you lose because casinos win when people's emotion take over. It's very complicated to explain but this video does give the gist of what he said and it takes practice and alot of mental math.
Greed is now an emotion...ok got it!
No, greed is not what makes you lose. What makes you lose is math. Casino games are designed to give the house an advantage. You literally can't beat that apart from some very rare cases (like counting cards in Blackjack), regardless of how smart or emotionless you are.
@@CowtymsmiesznegoExactly. This fallacy of "walking when you're ahead" never works cause then you must never gamble ever again. Its funny hearing gamblers talk about how much they "won" one night, yet they've probably lost way more over the course of them gambling.
I don’t know why this is in my recommended videos, but I will watch.
If you’re a frequent at casinos, then just remember, leaving while on top simply doesn’t matter. Eventually, you’re walking back in, and the math will beat you in the long run.
Unless you are highly skilled at counting and lose enough to not let the casino know, but still win enough to gain an edge, which is nearly impossible so fair enough haha.

really wanted to start learning some card games, ty for this perfect explained video Colin
Hey Colin just wanted to thank you for the mini course the speed drills are awesome their in my archives for sure keep the videos coming have a great Thanksgiving
Ever since watching and rewatching this video trying to memorize perfect basic strategy I’ve made a couple hundred. It’s fun and I’m hoping to get to a point where I can make a couple thousand and go from there.
I just watched the movie 21 it really gave me the motivation to learn this
MATH, STRATEGY AND DISCIPLINE! Thank You! Joseph
If you see your opponent’s card is 8 and yours is 5 and 3 or something you always wanna hit, if you get an ace but your other number is let’s say a 3 or a 4 you also want to hit too as ace can be one and eleven. Observing your opponent’s upside card as well as calculating your own will really help you win.

Excellent video. I enjoy your presentations. You speak well in clear and concise way that is easy to follow. Keep them coming.
Thanks! We're putting out a new video every week, mostly on card counting, but some on blackjack strategy in general.
Your video editing is amazing! This has to be the best beginners video on you tube! I will always recommend this video when someone ask how can I learn black jack! Thank you very much! Tell your friend he is awesome also! I enjoy watching you and your friends. I also watched your holy rollers movie when you sent me a link through black jack apprentice. It is one of my favorite films! Loved it! Thanks again♠️♥️♦️♣️
Thanks man. Really appreciate it. These videos are a labor of love.
It definitely shows my friend! You can see your enthusiasm! Wish you the best always! Thanks for all your replies:)
Agreed! It's very good for a beginner. Basic Strategy, good money management and, possibly, card counting. If you play that way, religiously, you will win. I haven't ever won millions, but I almost always leave with more than I brought. I have won as many as 50 units in one sitting. $5 X 50 = $250. If I'd been betting $100 units ... that's right $5000.
I'm gonna teach my son, how to count cards the moment he is born 🤣 the time he is 21 he'll be a master
Better off teaching your son to never enter a casino these guys don’t mention beating the casino they talk about only the game a casino can do a couple simple rule changes and you’re out of business and many have made their games unbeatable
Except that won’t work out as well as you think. Mainly because Casinos tend to hire Card Counters as Dealers. Can’t outsmart someone who knows all the tricks in the book.
@@NathanCassidy721 Even if you have a Card Counter Dealer, it doesn't matter, since the dealer's play is deterministic (dealer doesn't have a choice). So if you have a Card Counter player against a Card Counter dealer, the player will win in the long run. I think the point of Casino hiring Card Counters as Dealers is so that they won't be players.
@@danielyuan9862 I know that. My point to this guy is that you're not gonna become a millionaire just because you can do this "one easy trick". We can blame the movie "21" for this but people seem to think if you know how to count cards you are gonna become the king of the casino when the casino has already figured out how to counter your strategy.
Good luck with that if the casino has automatic card shufflers...it's impossible to card count with them.
Watched this video. Went to the casino for the first time. Lost $50 to slots. Earned $1 from Roulette. Sat at Blackjack for 4 hours. Went over $300, tipped the dealer, and broke even. Great experience will definitely try to learn more about Blackjack

Great video that covers all of the basic strategy. Thanks!
Thank you so much. Very thorough and great explanations. I learned a lot!
How much did lose after one yr 😂
This is definitely a good way to understand how the game is played. I have a fair win rate and I am happy with my play and wins. My concept is thus and is strictly my opinion but works well and I am by no means telling you not to watch their vids . . . . the simplest form of (playing) this game isn't to "beat" the dealer. The simplest form is to maximize chip gain and minimize chip loss. You won't beat (win) the dealer in every hand. You can win chips without "beating" the dealer. These guys are teaching the initial way to win as many hands as possible. The reason why teams are so successful is that they share the same goal of winning more chips. The best way to play this game is by yourself with multiple hands, so you are, yourself, your own team. Most of the time other players on a table will always try to win every hand at the odds of losing your hand (or two or three of your hands) or develop animosity and they will actively try to make you lose your bets. Choose a game with a good side bet, surrender (if available), learn the odds, stay consistent with play (don't get sucked into "I have a feeling", and play by yourself. Do not be afraid of leaving a table for another if you are on a bad streak or leaving entirely before you lose all your money. The casinos will always be there and you can return for another session another time. You must completely devoid the dollar value of the chips. It is all about the number of chips not what they say on them. Learn to play with 5 dollar chips and when you win consistently, change the value to 25 dollars with the same number of chips. Counting cards is irrelevant in a continuous shoe and in 7 or 6 deck shoes will get you tossed out of a casino or you will get capped on the number of hands you can play to only one and will no longer be allowed to reserve a table. Be courteous to the other players and ask them if they mind if you join the table or if they are winning see if you can just bet on their hands and win when they win until they ask if you want to start playing. Most dealers will tell you "the odds say to do this" but that is just the beginning, the base of play, not the end.
That is a lot of words, but the truth is you will always lose in the long run without counting cards and varying your bet accordingly. If you think you can profit placing only $5 bets, you are wrong.
@@Cowtymsmiesznego indeed, varying your bet is essential no matter how you play the game. I was by no means implying that all your bets should be the same. I didn't mention that point (which is the basis of card counting). Counting cards and winning a bunch is a sure way to be restricted to one hand all the time or worse yet, banned from the casino. I keep a general idea of the cards played but on a continuous shoe it doesn't matter. Counting cards and making modest bets, then, when the count is overwhelmingly in your favor, betting an amount that you haven't before will get you in trouble. I have been on the restricted to one hand list on a couple of casino's. I wasn't counting cards. I just played correctly and made money. Counting cards is a way to maximize bet return on hands that don't favor the dealer. But sometimes the dealer is just as likely to win on a good count as you are... and if you don't understand the odds of each hand or if players are actively trying make you fail, the counting cards doesn't really mean a whole lot on a full table with you last to act and a ton of inexperienced player eating up a bunch of cards to change the count by the time it gets to you. Moreover, if you play by yourself with a limited amount of hands. It will be very obvious that you are counting cards and will be asked some very tough questions.
@@vorpal120you're acting as if counting is illegal and getting caught is some huge problem. It aint that big a deal bro, just cash out and leave, if you get trespassed then so what? Just dont come back for a few weeks.

I live a few blocks from the Stratosphere in Las Vegas and thankfully a few months ago they changed their 6 to 5 blackjack to 3 to 2 but this guy is right, never ever play 6 to 5 blackjack. I remember back in 2006, the Golden Nugget was the first property I saw that started the 6 to 5 blackjack and then it spread like wildfire, If the casinos think they can get one over on the player they will not hesitate to do it so be patient, know basic strategy and leave when your ahead, don't let the bastards take your money.
LOL a degenerate gambler calling a casino a bastard because he too dumb to not gamble.
@@ftniceberg874 , You do not know what the hell you're talking about, as an advantage player playing blackjack is simply a job, there is no degeneracy involved since I am a seasoned card counter who makes money playing the game. I doubt you have the intelligence and discipline to do what I do.
@@lennyanders1639 hi pal I would like to learn the game I would really appreciate if you could teach me how to learn basics to start with as your a advantage player this is basically your job n some of the advantage players are on big money cheers pal
I worked surveillance at my local casino and while counting cards is not illegal, there are methods the casino uses to determine whether or not you are counting cards and can/will back you off of table games and send out notices to other casinos notifying them that you are what they consider an "advantageous player". While it's a great way to make money, it doesn't usually last long before they catch on
Very helpful tips in this short video Easy to understand and easy to put into practice nice
Well done video. Information was honest and easy to grasp. Good job
Very simple, thank you very much to learn
playing home games at the moment, but it actually has helped me win more than I have lost. wouldn't last long in a casino with audible counting though lol.
most informative blackjack video I have seen!
Great video. I had a 'system' for blackjack that I wanted to use on my 21st birthday. The idea was just to double my bet each time I lost (I know, not a new system). Yep, lost all $325 I had saved up in about 15 minutes. Love the card counting videos.
Hahaha. That was our PREVIOUS video... Progressive betting.: kzhead.info/sun/psx9Z7elnJykZJs/bejne.html&lc=UgxlCP8e-tRVC-biTHl4AaABAg
That's called the Martingale system, and to be honest, is the worst thing you can do, only do it for a very short time or you're gonna lose it all.
Dont double. But after your third loss in a row... start to triple your bet. Because by doubling the bet, you will only break even. But the problem with tripling the bet, is that most tables have a limit.
don't triple thats even worse
@@haydenarratoon4841... why?
I got pretty lucky the last time I was in Vegas. I didn't gamble large amounts, but I stuck to basic strategy ..probably about half the time and made enough money that I didn't have to spend a dime of my own cash while I was there.
That's about right. Usually the house has less than a 0.3% advantage, so it's almost a completely even game most places. But over time that tiny house advantage adds up to big money for the house, and if you play long enough you'll almost certainly lose it all.
@@RedSiegfried I quit while I was ahead. Most people don't do that. They also fall into the trap of thinking they can "win it back". That almost never happens.
@@RedSiegfried LOL the guy needs a dedicated team of counters, spotters watching the casino supervisors, others distracting them and the dealers. Possibly paying supervisors or dealers to not notice red flags we are tought to notice. Against an even game...does that sound logical in any way? 😂🤣
Thank you dude! Now i know how to play Blackjack!
I love this guide. And I've been to a casino and gotten lots of profet off of BlackJack, and I hope this video can help aswell.
Haha haha! A rule of thumb when it comes to degenerate gamblers...they always lie about their wins and down play their losses. You can't even spell profit! I know you didn't make any 😂🤣😂🤣 This video is basic strategy...if you made a dime on a live table playing kamakazi it's because you made other players lose playing like a fool and eventually left when they pulled out and 1 v 1 against the dealer losing every hand was no fun.
If you want to be a pro at blackjack I'd recommend this video. I rewatch this daily
Just learn basic strategy and then you can build on that.
I love you guys, this Chanel has helped me understand this game even more and I’ve never been more happy about making money in a ways that makes it feel as if I have my balls back, thank you boys for giving a beautiful gift
One other advantage that the player has: quitting! If your hands are stiff or the dealer is hot, you can change tables. In fact, it's a good idea to watch a table before entering the game just to get a feel for what's going on. Proper money management is also helpful to keep you ahead (or at least closer to 0) of the house. Playing single and double deck games are also preferable because, even if you're not counting, you can at least keep up with high cards (10,J,Q,K) and aces. I tell people all the time that I generally win when I go to the casino and they either say I'm lying or that I'm just lucky, but I just observe patterns and manage my money. I can and have counted cards, but I do just about as well just keeping track of the high cards and aces, especially at a single deck table. I also have learned how my 'luck' runs. That is something that you have to figure out on your end. I usually start off 'hot', because I've watched before-hand and I've got a feel for the game before I've made a wager. When I start losing, I quit (regardless of the 'count'). If I lose 3 'units' in a row, I will usually leave that table. Another good rule of thumb is to increase your bet only when you are winning and not when you are losing (known as chasing your loses). Learn and use the basic strategy! Be a machine! Learn it to the point that you don't even think about it. If your playing at a table and other players are saying that you made a bad play but you are going by the basic strategy, keep to the strategy. If you hit a 10-6 with a face card and bust, and the dealer is showing 7 and has a 9 hidden a lot of players will dog you for hitting because the dealer would have busted with your face card. (This will only be an issue if you're playing third base) Don't worry about it! When they are broke, you will still be playing or cashing in. SO, Play Basic Strategy, ALWAYS! If you master card counting, then you can worry about deviating, but until you get counting down pat then you can learn what goes along with the knowledge of what the count is on any given hand. Learn Basic Strategy, manage your money and if you're losing; take a break. And, before I conclude, one last thing: LEARN and PLAY the Basic Strategy.
Thank you, the tutorial is very helpful in the GTA black jack game to win the game
Great advice I’m just now learning .
I guess I was recommended this video because of my GTA trend. But the real life game has always interested me and some friends and I are planning a trip to the Crown Casino in Melbourne in just a few weeks. I thank you for your advice and the link to basic strategy as I'm sure it'll be helpful. I also think I know the basics of counting; basic probability right? But if I have time, I'll be sure to look more into the specifics of it. Again, thank you for the advice, and I hope in a few weeks, I'll deal a blow to the Crown Casino.

This works perfectly thanks for the tips great working strategies
Terrific Video. Thank you very much for sharing. 🙏
I worked as a dealer all through college and after dealing thousands upon thousands of hands, one of the few basic strategy plays I disagree with is “always” splitting 8’s. I think the only times it’s not good is when the dealer is showing a 9 or 10. Why make 2 18’s against a likely 19 or 20? I rarely saw that play ever work out.
What do you want to do with your 8s? You have 16, but that's just as bad as any other hand with a lower value, because the dealer can't stand below 17 anyways. And if you hit, you only have 20/52 cards that don't make you bust. When you split your 8s, you have a really good chance of getting a better 2-card hand.
That s for sure...! What is the point to splitting 8's when dealer showing 8....9....10...~! Well,depend how much money you play to be onest...Because if you play 5 $ a hand...it s not drama...but if you play hard...of course,better to stay at 16 or take another card...! Ev thing here it s dependig how much money you play a hand ! If you are play easy money...10 $ a hand...you can do whattever you want...! If you play agresive....it s not simple....! But ,yes,splitting 8's when the dealer showing 8 9 10....don t splitting ! Easy yiu can lose both hands..!
@@danielyuan9862 yeah but this also means you could just lose both hands right?

My strategy was to play blackjack in red dead redemption 2, then go play at a table. Went in with $200, left with $900. Pretty good New Years👍
My favorite thing from the basic strategy link is "listening to Count Von Count serenade you on Sesame Street." LOL
Hi Colin, this video is amazing! Thank you very much for sharing.
Thanks for the video! Appreciate yah brother
Давно завязал играть, но видосы твои смотреть не перестал) снимай побольше!)
Who’s here because of the GTA casino update?

When something looks complex but simple because you have a good teacher.
Grind_ lifestyle blackjack is the simplest damn thing at a casino besides the slot machines buddy. This isn’t complex whatsoever. You’re just slow
Interesting! At least I know the basics. Thanks.
I KZheadd GTA V casino slot machine hack and went down the rabbit hole to this. No regrets
Blackjack is one of my favorite casino games
I think the most important thing that people don't bring up is money management. I can't tell you how often I used to grind it out and be up then down then up then down and then leave with nothing. If you leave when your up, you can live another day. Money management.
This has helped a lot.
I watched a documentary, and it was by David 😅 "The Hot Shoe" it was really good 👏
Card counting depends on how many decks of cards are shuffled and shuffled again at the dealer's discretion. So if suppose you see 10 cards on the table out of 5 decks of cards your chances of guessing the next hit would be less than half a percent and your chances will increase by counting more cards until the next shuffle.
But usually if your at the end of the table and you see a lot of low point cards, you can assume if you hit that it’s gonna be a 10 or face card because of how many are in the deck
Im going to reno this weeknd😂😂💯
Hi Colin... what is the deal at Palace Station black jack offering 10 to 1 on a push? Is a high count advantageous with the possibility of both player and the dealer getting a twenty?
Love,these videos been playing online on an app and been winning a lot of fake money but had one person playing on my table who clearly had no idea what he was doing, he hit on 20 a couple of times and doubled,on 18 also no clue what he was thinking lol

Hi dealer here. Love Your content! Keep it up!
Completed Gambler 8 with the help of this video! Thanks!
I used a system of betting -- bet your minimum to start bet up as you win til you reach your maximum keep betting your maximum when you loose drop back to your minimum .
Your strategy is doable. Just make sure that you have a set stop-loss and leave the table after 3 straight losing hands.
I use the same method. I build up very slow though. I have to win my max bet like 8 to 10 times before I'll even start to build up. By the time I'm betting my max I'm safe to loose plenty and still come out ahead, but I'll usually stop after 5 losses in a row. I also alway keep my max bet considerably low as well.
It won’t work in the long run
Counting cards works! Just gotta have discipline & know when to take a break or stop
No it doesn’t most casinos use a machine with multiple decks mixed together
@@devinchapman8592 obviously we’re talking about conventional shuffling.
@@UpUpDnDnLtRtLtRtBAStart good luck finding a casino that offers hand shuffle single or double deck blackjack or any version they know the odds are against the house.
As an old dealer on the Strip I can tell you with absolute certainty that you can legally count the cards in your head but if you're noticed adjusting your bets based on the + - of the deck you can and will most likely be 86ed & have your name and likeness spread around town to the other casinos
As an old card counter who has won a rather significant amount of money over the years, I can tell you that you are absolutely correct. I have been banned from most of the casinos in LV with the best conditions, and a few other smaller ones near my home city. I do visit other cities/states on occasion when on vacation. I can "flat bet" lots of neutral shoes but maybe get in only 1 or 2 really "good" shoes with 10x bets before its time for me to head for the exits. With amazing facial recognition technology in use everywhere, Its no longer worth the effort. I had my day in the sun.
thank you so much for this now i can play blackjack in lethal company!
