Ace and a Ten wants to enhance your blackjack edge when playing at the live tables. We have listed a couple of pointers which will make you look like a professional black player, amazing your friends and surrounding audience.
Please beware that is hardly unlikely that you will walk into a casino, where there are no security personal, floor mangers, pit bosses and lets not forget the great electronic eyes in the sky watching your every move. If you go into these places with the intention to cheating please be assured that the odds are highly stacked against you.
First pointer is not to make any gestures with your hands to give the dealer any notion that you are going to touch your initial chip bet on the table. You do not want the dealer to reprimand you on the table; he or she maybe under the impression that you are trying to cheat the casino, by trying to increase your chip count due to the assumption that you have a good hand and want to adjust the payout odds.
When increasing your bet due to whatever blackjack strategy that you apply, please follow this careful rule and place the additional chips next to the initial chip stack, Placing them on top is frowned upon by most card dealers. For example if your double down on play they may be under the impression that you are trying to place more than double to increase payout amount in your favor. So please follow rule one and leave the initial chip bet alone.
When handling your cards please ensure that you handle you cards as little as possible and in full view of the dealer, the dealer will be extremely vigilant on all the cards on the table.
One thing that must be understood are the blackjack hand signals, you ask yourself why? Why can't one just verbally indicate one's card options?
