A Six-Step Winning Program for Blackjack Players
Adopting the following six steps will help you on your journey to
consistently winning at blackjack whether you play online casino
blackjack or "plain old" physical casino blackjack. If you haven't yet
read the section on Mental Discipline, now would be a good time to do so, (or shortly after reading this section), because the two go hand in hand.
Step 1: Develop A Winning Attitude
We have all heard about the power of positive thinking. It's impact on
your blackjack game is no different than on daily life. We aren't
talking about visualizing your way to a string of Naturals,
but we are talking about developing a winning attitude by practicing
visualization. Play on your own terms and not the casinos': play when
your energy level is highest and you are best able to control your
emotions.
You can develop a winning attitude by practicing the visualization ideas
or by using the tactics discussed here.
Whatever approach you take, stick with it, as it will increase your
winnings mainly by limiting your losses. Players with winning attitudes
know when to play - and most importantly - when not to play.
Step 2: Select A Winning Method
Selecting a winning method is probably one of the most important
blackjack decisions that you will ever make. Do your homework. We know,
you had enough of that when you were in school, but playing blackjack is
serious business, and you should be armed to the teeth with a good
strategy, as well as a winning attitude if you want to walk away a
winner.
Do not get caught up in stressing over what card-counting system to use
(especially if you play at an online casino), as card-couting only
applies in up to 10% of the hands that you play. Knowing Basic Blackjack Strategy is of prime importance. Learn counting strategies after you have mastered the basics, and only if you play at physical casinos.
