Any tips on blackjack?
When the dealer shows a 6 and you have 11 or less, double down.
Here in Kansas City, we've got "riverboat" casinos. I've decided that when I want to play a little blackjack, I just write a check to the casino, and mail it in.
It sames me travel time, having to find a parking spot, and the aggrevation of having the worlds worst luck at cards!
The last time I played blackjack, I took $100 to the $5 tables, and I played exactly 21 hands! Yup, I pushed once all night. Lost every other hand.
PS, if you ever want to see someone's head explode, split a pair of 10s...

Don't buy insurance, it is a rip off. The chances the dealer will hit black jack are not good and most of the time you will lose the insurance and the bet.
Only split aces, and double-down when the dealer shows 3, 4, or 5 and you have 11 or less.
