Blackjack Etiquette Tips
Blackjack is just like any other human activity: it has certain etiquette and rituals related to it.
If you want to be a spectator, that's fine, but watch from a reasonable distance and don't interfere with the players' ability to concentrate.
If you don't know the rules, play at a table with no other players if you can find one, and learn by yourself. It's important not to hold up the game for any reason.
Tip the dealer from time to time, especially if you're winning. One "cool" way to tip the dealer is by placing a bet on his behalf. To do this, just place an additional bet outside your betting circle, in the dealer's direction.
If the cards are dealt face up, don't touch them. You're only allowed to touch the cards if you're playing in a face-down game.
Don't drink at the table unless you can avoid spilling it. Don't get drunk or order drinks while people are waiting for you to play, either.
Don't talk excessively. Most people are there to play, not chat. Especially don't tell other players how to play or correct their mistakes. Don't pester the dealer for advice on strategy.
There is a set of Blackjack signals which can let the dealer know about your game intentions. The only weak point is that these signals are different for face up and face down games.
Face Up Game
Pointing at your cards means that you want to hit. If you want to stand wave your hand over the cards parallel to the table. If you want to double or to split you have to place a 2nd bet next to the original bet. Never place the bet on the original one if you want to split or to double.
Face Down Game
If you want to hit just scrape the table with your hand, but try to do it as light as possible. If you want no more cards you have to put the cards under the bet. Turning your cards face up and placing an additional bet next to the original bet means that you want to split or to double.

Bad Blackjack Strategies
If you really want to win at the game of Blackjack never use the following strategies.
Playing as the dealer does
Lots of players think that they will get the same advantage as the house if they play as the dealer does. They forget that the dealer is forced by casino rules to stand on 17, and is not allowed to double or split. And the player's 21 will never beat the dealer's natural Blackjack.
Assuming a 10 value hole-card
This is a tempting mistake to make, since there are several 10 valued cards in the deck (10's, Jacks, Queens and Kings). In fact the statistical chance of the Hole card being a 10 valued one is below 50%. So you would be wrong in assuming the dealer's Hole card to be a 10 or a ten valued one.
"The No Bust Strategy"
If you think that this strategy can really work you are mistaken. The idea of the strategy is that you will refuse to take a card whether or not you have a chance of busting. But in fact it means standing with a hard 12 or greater. Go the "no bust strategy" route means that your only hope is for the dealer to bust - basically wishing on a star and not making meaningful decisions that the mathematical odds say will quite likely help you to win.
Playing by intuition or guesswork
Remember that the game of Blackjack is not only a game of luck and chance, but it is also a game of skill and experience. So, if you wish to win at Blackjack the worst thing you can do is to follow your intuition or play on hunches. You can apply this strategy to some lottery or a game of a pure chance, but never to the game of Blackjack. Choosing this way of playing you will make for sure the casino owners smile because ultimately you'll be fattening their pockets. If you want to win at Blackjack, make sure that you stay as far as possible away from the strategies detailed above, practice your own game-play using our free Blackjack game and ensure that you at least use a basic Blackjack strategy. Blackjack Table Feld
The Blackjack table is in the shape of a semi-circle, usually with padded edges and space for five up to seven seated players to lean on as they play. Some tables actually seat only five or six players. The dealer stands in the middle of the flat edge, opposite the players. In front of him you'll see the chip rack, which is a tray of chips differently colored, and each color represent a particular dollar value or denomination. In front of the dealer is also a spot for him to place his cards. In a semi-circle, the players have their spot to lay down their bets, and in front of every seat is a white square box where the dealer lays the players cards. Moreover there is an area with some specific rules on the Blackjack table. Before you begin playing find out what kind of Blackjack you are going to play. The traditional variant of the game is a multi-deck Blackjack, which can be played with up to 8 decks. The cards are dealt to players from a holder called a shoe. There are very few casinos, in which the game of Blackjack is played with one or two decks. Every player, whether he's playing online or in a casino he should know what is about and how the game works. Off course this includes knowing the number of decks being used, how they're being dealt, house specific rules that you should be aware of (for example whether or not the player can touch the cards) and last but not least important, the specific betting limits for the table.
