The Real House Edge in Blackjack

You hear all the time that blackjack has one of the lowest house edges of any online casino games. The reality is that the house edge depends greatly on the skill of the player. Let’s explain the real house edge in blackjack.

Online casinos and land-based casinos love blackjack players because they know they will win money over those players in the long run. Many people state that the house edge on blackjack is less than 1% but what those people fail to say is that the house edge depends upon the skill of the player. If a player plays perfect blackjack strategy then yes, the house edge in blackjack is less than 1%. The reality is that most people don’t play perfect blackjack strategy. And if they don’t play perfect strategy then the house edge can go up quite a bit.

When you play blackjack at the online casino do you know exactly when to double down in each situation? Do you know when you should split in every situation? Do you even hit that ugly 16 you get dealt against the dealer’s face card? Most people don’t do everything right when playing online blackjack so the house edge is a lot more than 1%.

If you want to win more money at online blackjack then print out a strategy chart and follow it. If you do that you will have a better chance to win money at the online casino.
