"Hi! My name is Carlos Ramos Jr. and I'm coming to you on behalf of Expert Village and today we're talking about the game of blackjack. So we've gone through everything, you got the basic rules of blackjack and you got some pretty good strategies on increasing your odds and saving a little face on the table as well. What I want to do let's go over a game I'm going to talk you through one game of blackjack, alright. So we're just going to play against the dealer you and I, alright, so they're going to deal our two hands here and they're going to deal their one hand here. Now let's go over with what you should do, you see the 5 there, so what does that mean? Regardless of what you have here unless it's a double down opportunity or a split opportunity you want to wave it off and stand. Cause what do we have here? We have a 20 there's a very, very small chance that we could pull an ace here, very small chance, let's leave it alone. We got a 20 against the 5 and there is a big opportunity there is a big chance that dealer might bust, so let's wave it off and let's let the dealer as they say in the casino, crack his own head and he does. There you go, it's that simple and I mean you can just continue to play that way until you either run out of money or you make enough money and you have the discipline to get out of there with a little bit of money in your pocket, or if you're just playing for fun, just play for fun.
