Does No Bust Blackjack Work?

Yes, No Bust Blackjack does work. Here’s how it works:

The game is played with a standard 52-card deck. The player makes a bet and the dealer deals two cards to the player and two cards to himself, one face up and one face down.

If the player’s total is 21 or less, he can hit (draw another card) or stand (keep his hand as is). If the player’s total is 22 or more, he automatically loses.

The dealer then flips over his face down card. If his total is 16 or less, he must hit.

If his total is 17 or more, he must stand. If the dealer busts (goes over 21), the player automatically wins regardless of his own hand.

The key to winning at No Bust Blackjack is to know when to hit and when to stand. The general rule of thumb is this: if your hand is 12 or higher, you should stand; if your hand is 11 or lower, you should hit.

That said, there are some situations where you should deviate from this rule.

For example, if the dealer is showing a 5 or 6, you should hit on a hand of 11 because there’s a good chance the dealer will bust. Conversely, if the dealer is showing an Ace, you should stand on a hand of 12 because there’s a good chance the dealer will have a blackjack (a 21 made up of an Ace and any 10-valued card).

Of course, no system is perfect and there will be times when you lose despite following the basic strategy. That’s just part of the game. But if you stick to the basic strategy, you’ll find that No Bust Blackjack can be a lot of fun – and profitable!.
