Is Gambling taking over your life?
Are you unable to resist the Blackjack tables?
Are you finances suffering?
YOU NEED TO SEEK HELP !
Step 1: ADMIT that you need help.
Step 2: Identify the CAUSE of the problem.
Step 3: HELP is at hand.
You need to know how to play "Soft Totals"
A Soft Total is a where the total includes an Ace. For instance, A-6 is a "Soft" 17
My suggestion is to Hit any Soft total of 17 or less.
If you see players Standing on a Soft 17, they are weak players or, more likely, tourists. Soft 17's should be Hit, or Doubled and Hit.
Soft 19 or 20 are strong hands, and you should Stand.
The difficult hand is A-7 ... a Soft 18.
My advice with a Soft 18 is this:
If the Dealer's "Up" card is a 9 or 10, then Hit your 18.
If the Dealer shows a 2, 7, 8 or Ace, then Stand.
If the Dealer shows a "Stiff" card (3, 4, 5 or 6) then you should Double.
Now ... GO AND WIN SOME MONEY !

Nice one but I was thinking that if you're an addicted gambler you should consult a physician and undergo rehab. Anyway, I can't say that I'm addicted to Blackjack yet so I think I'll play more.
