The basics of Blackjack
The basic strategy applied to win a game of Blackjack is to use the liberty to choose another card, double the stake or split the first two cards. Always standing on 17 or more and hitting on 8 or less and doing the same on 12-16 when the Dealer has more than 7 are some additional strategies.
To add, in Blackjack the player always has the liberty of doubling the stake as soon as he sees the first two cards and should always double on number 11, doubling on 10 whenever the Dealer shows 9 or less and last but not the least doubling on 9 exactly when the dealer is showing 6 or lower.
