The Blackjack Bust Percentage Advantage

Playing blackjack always require making decisions that define the outcome of a gambler's game in blackjack. The pressure on playing blackjack is to make the wisest decision whether to stand, hit, split pairs or double down.

The outcome of the game is ultimately determined on how the player is able to make the most appropriate decisions with their hand based on the cards dealt to them and to the blackjack dealer.

Making the right decision is often hard for a beginner in blackjack to make. This is most especially difficult when the player is dealt with a couple of cards and knowing only one of the blackjack dealer's cards that is dealt face up for other players to see.

Because blackjack players do not know the value of the dealer's hole card and without knowing the next cards to be dealt as well, making a hand decision can be tough with incomplete data to base their decisions on.

The optimal play in blackjack is to know when does hitting, standing, doubling down or splitting pairs are most significant of bringing out favorable odds to the player.

The game of blackjack is based on math where computer simulations proved that the face up card of the blackjack dealer can be vital information to a player on knowing the blackjack dealer's bust percentage. Knowing the bust percentage of the dealer based from their up cards can provide significant data to a player when playing their own hands.

The up card of the dealer is very important because there are cards that will most likely increase or decrease their bust percentage. A blackjack dealer odd chart will show that blackjack dealer's bust percentage is highest when dealt with a card of 5 with 42% chance of busting a hand.

Likewise, cards of 6 and 4 closely follow on increasing the dealer's bust percentage at 42% and 40% respectively. The optimal strategy of a player is to stand with a stiff hand and to double the bet due to the higher chance of the dealer to bust.

When a blackjack player holds card values of 10 or 11, being dealt with another 10 value card will ultimately give them a blackjack where the player gets paid with higher pot money. This excellent hand will give the player about 30% chances of hitting a blackjack.

With the opportunity to obtain basis on the bust percentage of the blackjack dealer from their face up card and knowing the odds of busting by the dealer, a blackjack player can make good hand decisions that can bring better outcome of their game despite the hole card of the dealer remains unknown to the player and there is no way of knowing which card will be dealt next.
