Blackjack & Enola
Ever wondered what the real odds are when the dealer hits a six? I love a good chance to mix math with a quick gamble—mind if we run through some hands together?
Sure, let’s crunch the numbers. When the dealer’s up‑card is a 6 the most common final totals are:
17 about 24 % of the time
18 about 24 %
19 about 16 %
20 about 16 %
21 about 8 %
Bust about 12 %
So if you hit a hand that totals 12‑16, the dealer is very likely to bust or end with a weak total, giving you a good edge. If you have 17‑21, you’ll usually beat the dealer unless they hit a 20 or 21, which is still less likely than busting. The pattern is clear: a 6 is a favourable up‑card for the player.
Looks like the house’s got a soft spot for a six, huh? That 12‑16 range is where you can swing the game, especially if the dealer’s busted or stuck at a weak total. Keep that edge in mind and you’ll be the one walking away with the chips. Ready to play it?
Sounds like a solid plan. Just keep a close eye on the dealer’s next card; if it’s a 10 or an ace, the dealer might improve quickly. In the 12‑16 zone, a hit is usually the best move unless you’re aiming for a high‑value split. Stay focused, and the odds will do the rest.
Nice, you’ve got the rhythm. Keep that eye on the next card, play your hits tight, and let the house roll its dice while you ride the wave of that six. Good luck—hope the chips stay in your favor.
