Single-Deck Blackjack Strategy

It wasn't that long ago that blackjack with a single-deck was the only game in town.  But when Edward Thorp came along in the 1960s with card counting techniques, the casinos had to adjust.  In addition to hustling off card counters, casinos introduced multi-deck shoes, automatic card shufflers, and more frequent shuffles.  The good news is that you may still find a single-deck blackjack game in some casinos.  But be forewarned, the casinos giveth and also taketh away.  This is especially true when they pay 6/5 for a blackjack  instead of the 3/2 that has been the standard for many years.  To learn more about this game,  read ReadyBetGo's single-deck strategy articles.
