Free Bet Blackjack Strategy

Optimal basic strategy adapted for Evolution's Free Bet Blackjack.

Strategy Key Differences

Free Bet Blackjack strategy differs from standard blackjack because:

  • ✓Always take free doubles on 9, 10, 11 - they cost nothing
  • ✓Always take free splits on pairs (except 10s) - they cost nothing
  • !The Push 22 rule makes standing slightly less valuable

Golden Rules

1.Always take Free Doubles on hard 9, 10, 11 - they are always +EV

2.Always take Free Splits when offered (all pairs except 10s)

3.Never split 10-value pairs (they require a paid bet)

4.Avoid insurance - the house edge is too high
