Blackjack’s DNA –
The Hand Breakdown vs. Dealer Up Card

“Deoxyribonucleic Acid”

Every DamNed Answer in Blackjack 

You do not need to be a criminologist or a scientist to understand what we are about to tell you.  All you need to be, is a Blackjack player. 

We knew that to create the perfect player, one who could win the highest possible amount from the casinos, the game had to be broken down to its very simplest form.  Doing it was easier said than done, of course, but in the end, it was done.   

We broke the game into tiny pieces, cell by cell.  Each and every one of these pieces gave us answers that contribute to the overall makeup of the game.  Have you ever seen a Basic Play Chart such as the one here:

These charts have been used by casinos, and in Blackjack books and articles, for years They still will be after the release of the Playing 21 Program, it’s just that the information on them will be more accurate.  What we have done is open each and every one of those ‘cells’, expanding them to see inside.  By seeing inside each one, we can now determine what is the correct way to play each one of them.  Many of them actually have different ways to play, depending on many factors, such as Card Counting.  We call this Hand Variation.  If one is not card counting, there is only one “most correct way” to play each hand, winning more or losing less.  This, of course, is taking into consideration such factors such as Number of Decks Used, and House Rules.   

As you can see, there is a lot more than truly ever meets the eye in this game.  When you first consider the implications, it may seem over-whelming.  However, the way we present the end results to you is not complicated at all.  You don’t have to wrap your mind around it all; you just have to use its results to win at the game Blackjack.

By tracking the proper information in the proper places, which we have done, we could now go into each cell and open it up, so to speak.  How we did it was to track every single hand you could ever get, against the dealer’s up card when you received that hand.  We stored it at the Bet Count, (the very important count of the cards before the cards were dealt).  We played the hand at the Play Count, the actual count of the cards when you played the hand, and we stored all results again at the Bet Count.  We broke everything down into 45 categories for each hand, and at every count. 

Screen Shots of The 45 Different Categories For Each Hand

This information allows us to piece the game together cell by cell.  As an example how do we play a Soft Ace-8 vs. a Dealers 6?  Well, let’s say we were counting the 3,4,5, and 6 as plus one and the Faces as minus one, and we wanted to know what was the correct overall play for this hand (IE. Stand or Double Down). Now let’s say we wanted to see if the way to play the hand was affected by any House Rules, or Number of Decks Used, or even Penetration Points (where the cut card goes).  At what count, if any, did the way to play the hand change?  How did we do at a count of minus 8 (See Below)?  Where exactly in the count did the hand change from a Stand to a Double Down?  Well, this is very simple, and we have broken down this hand for you, using this example

We could get into all the House Rules and every other factor for this one hand, but that isn’t why we wanted to show you this, here.  This isn't about playing that one hand, it is about showing you the power of the Playing 21 Program.  Besides, you will set everything up using the method of play offered at your local casino. 

We wanted to show you this because, by knowing this exact information, we can now play this one cell perfectly.  Each cell is now played perfectly and we have created the perfect way to play each and every single hand.  That is powerful, and it is why we coined this the DNA of Blackjack.  It has certainly cracks a 400-year old game wide open. 

What we can see from the above information is that for the way we were counting at a count of Minus 8 (highlighted), the correct way to play this hand is to Stand.  By Standing we are winning more Per Occurrence of the hand then by Doubling Down.  The overall correct way to play is Stand.  However is it always a Stand at every count?  Is it a Stand at Plus 8, Plus 9, Plus 10 and so forth?  Well, we have all the information, for every single hand you want information for, broken down at every single count.  When you make one tweak, say to your card counting, you don't have to read another book, just run another test. 

Win/Loss Report  

In the Win/Loss Report we show you how you did as a whole after millions of hands.  Of course we break this down to every count as well.  Before the Playing 21 Program, you would have had no idea whether or not the way you were playing each hand at each count was the best way.  Now you do know.  You can now be the perfect Blackjack player.  Here in the Win/Loss Report, you can now vary your wagers, to bet more when you are turning a profit.  A very subtle tweak can now make you a winner.  The Playing 21 Program does prove the casinos cannot win at Blackjack, the way the game is currently being offered. 

There is no doubt regarding the power of the Hand Breakdown vs. Dealer Up Card.  Even if you do not count cards, you must know how to play the game.  Making wrong decisions are only adding notches to your loss column.  Even if you are a Playing 21 Program owner, and win at the game Blackjack, you are winning less if you do not play to perfection.  We do want you to win.  You may ask why?  Well, if you win, you are more apt to share us with every Blackjack player you meet.  We consider that the ultimate compliment you can pay us.  Hey, we gave you the answers you needed to succeed…the rest is clearly up to you.  If you do, reward us with your Voice, telling others you meet about us. 

The game Blackjack is no longer as mysterious as it once was.  Casinos do (and will) fear this program, but it will take millions of players before they act on that fear.  You can be a winner, and this program can show you exactly how.  Stop walking around the casino clueless, and losing your hard earned money, when a $50 purchase can help you be the best you can possibly be.  If losing doesn't piss you off, you don't need this program because you don't truly care to win!  There isn't a Blackjack player I know who doesn't walk in the casino with $50.  Buy all the answers now
