Disclaimer

Educational purpose

The charts, calculator, trainer and guides are an educational reference for standard US hole-card blackjack. They are not gambling, financial or legal advice.

No guarantee of results

Basic strategy chooses the best decision for a stated rule set over the long run. It does not predict the next card, does not remove the casino’s edge and cannot guarantee a winning session. Every hand is uncertain, and you can lose money. See blackjack odds and house edge for why.

Rules differ by table

A chart is only correct for the rules it shows. Deck count, the dealer’s soft-17 rule, doubling and splitting limits, surrender and the blackjack payout all vary. Check the posted rules of your table and choose the matching settings. Variants such as no-hole-card games and side bets are not covered.

Legal age and local law

Gambling is restricted to adults, and the legal age and the legality of gambling depend on where you live. You are responsible for following the law in your location. Blackjack Chart does not operate games, accept bets or hold money.

Independence and sponsored content

Blackjack Chart is not affiliated with any casino or with the Wizard of Odds, whose strategy tables are credited as sources. A credit does not imply endorsement. Paid or sponsored content, when published, is clearly labelled.
