Blackjack History

Blackjack first originated in France as vingt un or 21 in the 1700's. The reason it is called blackjack was if a player was dealt an Ace of Spades and a Jack of Spades, they were rewarded with extra money. Blackjack was first played in the United States in the early 1900's in Indiana. Because blackjack was new and not too popular, the gambling parlors offered to pay 3 to 2 for a count of 21 in the first two cards. In a modern deck of 52 cards, those cards with a value of 10 (10, Jack, Queen and King) represent 30.8% of a deck.

One of the worse things in a game of poker is to show emotion, so giving yourself a chance to put things in perspective rather than getting worked up can be a very beneficial move.
