The No-Bust Blackjack Philosophy In blackjack, hands totaling between 12 and 16 points are known as stiff hands. Up to a point total of 11, players literally cannot bust by taking a hit. Once you hit a point total of 12, the odds of busting from taking a hit start to get scary. With 12 points, you have a 48% chance of busting from a hit. At 13 points, that chance goes up to 52%. By the time your hand is worth 16 points, you have a 61% chance of busting out from taking a hit. So,
play superslot how often does the dealer bust? The dealer has about a 33.15% chance of busting on every hand, meaning he’ll avoid busting and most likely beat the no-bust player in more than two-thirds of hands (66.85%). Let’s compare that number to the player’s odds of busting a 15 point hand – 58.58%. The player is at a disadvantage here, regardless of what decision he makes. That’s why it’s called gambling. But it doesn’t take a lot of math skills to recognize that 58.58% is less than 66.85%. The no-bust player thinks he’s doing himself a favor, even though he’s really shorting himself by 10%.
