How can I keep from looking like a big dummy at the blackjack table?
How can I keep from looking like a big dummy at the blackjack table?
In a few months
I’m heading to Las Vegas for a conference. I am absolutely not a gambler
but figure I’ll spend an hour or two checking out some of the gaudiest casinos and maybe playing some slots. But
for some reason
I also have an urge to try playing blackjack. My question is twofold: 1. What can I expect from the blackjack-playing experience? I’ve only played slots before and have never interacted with anyone at a casino. How can I keep from looking like an idiot? 2. Any recommended resources for basic blackjack strategy?

Math and Odds and Blackjack
Math and Odds and Blackjack
What are the chances, in blackjack, that I will start with 15, and the dealer will be showing a 10 (or face card worth 10)? Despite the fact that my buddy thinks the odds of this are near 100%, I’ve tried to calculate the actual odds (assuming a single deck). I’ve come up with 2.62% -ish. Not really sure if I’m right. I started with all the possible hands I could have. 2652 (52 * 51) Then I figured out how many hands would give me 15. 64 hands with a 10 (or equivalent) and a 5. 64 hands with a 5 and a 10. 16 hands with a 9 and a 6. 16 hands with a 6 and a 9. 16 hands with an 8 and a 7. 16 hands with a 7 and an 8. 16 hands with an ace and a 4. 16 hands with a 4 and an ace. These fall into two groups, those that have a 10, and therefore deprive the dealer of one, and those that don’t. 128 hands have a 10. 96 hands are 15 some other way. If I have a 10, she has 15 cards left, out of 50, to get a 10. If I don’t she has 16 out of 50. So my odds of making a 15 using a 10 (or face card) are 4.8%. Her odds of then having a 10 showing are 30%. So we have a 1.44% chance of that happening. -Plus- Me making 15 some other way: 3.7%. And her having a 10 showing: 32%. Gives us 1.18% for that second scenario. So 2.62% of my having 15 and the dealer showing a 10 or face card. Two questions. Assuming a single deck, is this correct? Assuming multiple decks, what changes (if anything)? If I’m wrong, where did I go wrong? (It would help my brain to have a combination of english and math to explain where I went wrong, rather than just something like “you should have used a factorial for possible hands 52!-4!”, etc…) Thanks.

What should my bankroll be?
What should my bankroll be?
How much money would it take to deal blackjack for a night? I’ve been asked if I want to deal and be “the house” at blackjack at a party. Assuming a $5 max bet for the first few hours and a $10 max bet for the last couple
what’s a reasonable estimate for the amount of money I should have in order to cover winnings? I don’t expect to have a full table the whole time
probably full every once in a while and empty others. If it’s easier to estimate we can just assume two players the whole time.
