DON'T SIT IN THE FIRST BASE SEAT
Marchel recommends avoiding the first base chair
in case the dealer is rushing. Sitting further
down will give you more time to review your hand
and the dealer's up card.

DON'T GET BURNED

• Set a cap for how much you're OK with losing
  without limiting how much you can win, says
  Frank Scoblete, author of Beat Blackjack Now .
• Scoring "comps," or casino freebies, isn't worth
  blowing your monthly mortgage.
• "Numerous surveys over the years have found that
  75 percent of players in a casino will be
  winning at some point, but only 4 percent go
  home a winner," says Marchell.
• If you're on a losing streak, move on.

LOWER STAKES
Playing at lower stakes doesnt necessarily mean
you will lose less over time. If youre playing
20 per hand on a 65 paying table, you may be
at a large 2 disadvantage causing an
expectation of a 40 loss per hand. If youre
playing a game like the high limit 6-deck at
Aria Casino in Las Vegas, youre only at a .26
disadvantage. Thats an expected loss of just 26
per 100 bet. Notice that the 20 bet will lose
more than the 100 bet over time.

DONT TAKE INSURANCE!
Dont take insurance! It doesnt matter how much
you bet or what your hand is, insurance is a bad
bet! Only 4 out of 13 possible cards will give
the dealer a blackjack under the ace.
Thats a 30.8 chance of blackjack. If you are
only getting paid 21 on an insurance bet,
thats a losing bet. If youre an advanced
player using a card counting system, then
insurance is a great option in certain
situations.
