Blackjack Secrets
In many casino games, simply knowing the rules of the game is a strong enough foundation for a winner. This is generally because those games are based on luck, and the rules are simply vehicles through which the casino attempts to control the luck factor. Not so in Blackjack. Even if you've read all the rules, you need a strategy before you begin playing. That's not to say a good strategy will guarantee a win, but it will certainly remove much of the luck element, and replace it with finely honed skills. Over the centuries professional blackjack players, as well as mathematicians have discovered sound systems by which to make all blackjack decisions. The following are some easy to learn secret strategies to help you along in your quest for gold.

Two level Betting System
This is the simplest betting system to use and still effective. To use this system simply decide on a minimum and maximum bet. Then bet the smaller amount after a loss and the larger amount after a win. For example, say you set your minimum bet at $5 and your maximum at $15. Start with a $5 dollar bet. If you win that hand you bet $15 your next wager. You then continue to bet $15 until you lose. After any loss you return to your minimum bet of $5

Five level progressive betting system:
A simple, effective system that works when applied correctly. This system is based on a 1,2,3,5 back to one progression. For example, start betting at $5, then when you win a hand, jack it up to $10, next time you win, raise it to $15, and finally to $25. If you win four hands in a row, drop back down to five, and start the progression again. The same would apply if you lose a hand. This system works best with a winning streak, and doesn't require a large bankroll, and best of all will still save you some cash, in the event of a losing streak.
