Here are some things you should never say or do when you’re playing blackjack:You’re not allowed to pay the money directly to the dealer – everything related to bets should be seen by the security teams and cameras. Put the money on the table and tell the dealer what the value of the chips you want is.

You’re not allowed to blame anyone for your bad luck – it is only your fault and nobody else’s, so keep your mouth closed and keep playing.
Holding cards with two hands are forbidden – in the blackjack game where cards are faced down; do not pick them up with both hands, but with one hand.
Do not tip the dealer – this gesture might be wrongly considered by the security team and even it is a great thing for the dealer, this won’t be good for him due misinterpreted.
Do not place on a higher denomination chip on a lower denomination chip betting place – put the correct chip in the right betting place as you do not want trouble.

Do not talk with your friends and give them indications on how they should play their cards.

While playing with many decks do not twist cards from a shuffled deck and insert them in the cut cards.
It is forbidden to make a bet in the middle of a shoe.

Do not use an arrogant tone while you’re playing or ask for a comp.
Do not use casino hosts.
Do not use the basic blackjack strategy – instead, use the card strategy, as it is real and near to you, in front of your eyes and in the cards played at the table.
Do not play a 6 to 5 game – it will affect your bottom line; better play in those casinos which give you a 3 to 2 payoff.
It is not recommended to use progressive betting systems – better than that watch the cards played and bet basing on the small versus high cards. Or you can learn the Speed Count strategy who will give you the best hint when to place your bet.These are few of the rules a player should respect when is playing blackjack in a casino.
