Perhaps at the front of the list for blackjack is the notion that the skill level of the other players at the table affects your results. Or specifically, that a bad player, especially one who\u2019s last to act before the dealer, will negatively affect the overall outcome of good players. You\u2019ve heard it a thousand times, but it\u2019s not true. Anyone who\u2019s ever felt this needs to read this article in which Henry Tamburin presents evidence that settles the matter. It\u2019s&nbsp;<em>your<\/em>&nbsp;skill level that determines your results, not the play of others. Pay attention also to the list of things that do matter. I\u2019ll take slight issue with the last bullet point that observing a lot of small cards having been dealt in previous rounds signals a good time to raise your bet. That\u2019s certainly the essence of card counting, but simply \u201cobserving\u201d isn\u2019t likely to yield solid information. You need to become proficient at counting to detect favorable situations.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.888casino.com\/blog\/wrong-blackjack-advice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This article was written by Henry Tamburin in association with 888Casino.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">THE INCREDIBLY WRONG ADVICE IN BLACKJACK STRATEGY<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Several years ago, I wrote an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.888casino.com\/blog\/blackjack-strategy\/misinformation\">article<\/a>&nbsp;that contained misinformation about blackjack that originated from players, dealers, movies, and the Internet.
