Blackjack Myths

1. The object is to get to 21, or as close to 21 without exceeding the total of 21
This a misleading statement. The object is to beat the dealer's hand. Often, the best strategy is to stand depending on your hand and the dealer's up-card. Many people lose a hand because they hit their hands, when according to basic strategy they should stand.

2. The 3rd baseman controls the game
The player at 3rd base has no more control over the game as far as other players winning as the player in 1st base. Neither has any effect on whether you win or lose long term.

3. You can't count more than two decks
This is one of the biggest misconceptions regarding card counting. People are intimidated by multiple-deck blackjack (four or more decks). There is no difference in keeping a running count in multiple deck as there is in single or double deck.

Ratios are ratios. We have more cards to count and multiple deck is not as favorable as single and double deck. We also have to convert to a True Count to adjust our betting and playing.
