Tips for Selecting The Right Tables

Yes, there is an element of chance in every blackjack game, but it is not prudent to leave everything to chance if you are capable of picking and choosing something that can eventually change the game beyond recognition. Selecting the right blackjack table is one such thing which can have a telling effect on one's odds in the game. This article tries to share a couple of tips that any player of blackjack entering a casino might find useful, in picking a decent table and hence cornering better chances for emerging victorious in the end.

When you enter the casino for the first time, instead of picking the first vacant table coming your way, it will be a better idea to walk around a bit and choose one that is having the lesser number of chips. On further observation of faces, if you feel that the chips are with the happy blackjack players, the dealer may be having a cold streak, and that is the right table in which you can dominate the dealer as you like. It is true that there is an element of uncertainty here, but if to go by the word of experienced players, this strategy works.

Further, as a sequel to the first method, take note of those tables having more than an average number of happy faces. In such tables, the players will be holding most of the chips, which further implies that the dealer is having a bad day out there. So why not make a meal out of the dealer’s misfortunes? Well, again, in terms of probability, such assumptions can misfire. But in most cases, this assessment gives a good idea of a given table, and it works as well.
