Single deck blackjack is the simplest form of the game and offers a house edge which is smaller than games with multiple decks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first thing we need to do when examining single deck blackjack is to present a chart of basic blackjack strategy<\/a>. Many sites have broken down this chart into three separate sections: hard totals, soft totals and pairs. Below, we have grouped them altogether for one simple single-deck blackjack cheat sheet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Single deck blackjack offers the player better chances to win than multi-deck. The house take is low even when the deck is shuffled after each hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Typically the return to player (RTP) on the best single deck game is 99.8%, whereas with 6 or 8 decks the RTP is around 99.5%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This difference might not seem that significant, but if you start with a deposit of $100, you might place 1000 bets of $10 each. At the end of that time you would have, on average, $80 remaining at 99.8% but only $50 remaining if the RTP is 99.5%\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, with just a smidgeon of good luck you can come out ahead and most of the welcome offers cover the potential loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Perfect play, particularly with more than one seat at single-deck, is quite complicated, but, if you follow the chart above, you will do well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wizard of Odds claims that Boss Media has a single-deck game with a payout of 100.15%, but I did not find it when I went through all the casinos on the site!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deciding whether to take insurance<\/a> involves counting. It pays 2-1, and there are 41 cards remaining if you play five seats. If more than 13 of them are tens, then you should take the insurance bet. So, if you have seen only one or two tens, then it is right to take insurance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The maximum number of tens on the table for it to be correct to take insurance depends on the number of seats playing, according to the following table:<\/p>\n\n\n\nSingle Deck Blackjack Chart<\/h2>\n\n\n
