" JubJub Blackjack "

My basic betting strategy is to take the unit that I want to win, usually 25np, and make that my "base bet." Any time I win a hand, I bet my base bet for the next hand. Any time I lose a hand, I double my previous bet EXCEPT I bet the base bet two hands in a row before I double my bets. For example, I lose a 25np bet, so I bet 25np again. I lose that, so I bet 50np. I win, and I bet 25np again. Basically, with any two wins in a row, I make 25np, and with any win, I make up for my previous losing streak all at once.

Now for play strategy. This is similar, but not identical, to basic blackjack strategy. I modified it for card frequency here.

If the dealer has a 7 or higher showing (including an Ace), do the following:

If you have 3-9, hit.
If you have 10 or 11, double.
If you have 12-16, hit.
If you have 17+, stand.
If you have a soft 12, I would double against a 7 or 8.

If the dealer has a 2-6 showing, do the following:

If you have 3-7, hit.
If you have 8-11, double.
If you have a HARD 12-HARD 16, stand.
If you have a SOFT 12-SOFT 16, hit.
If you have 17+, stand.

The reason you stand in the mid-range against a 2-6 is that the dealer usually busts on those, and it gives you a better shot at winning. Basic strategy says to always double on 11, even against 10s and Aces, but if they have a Blackjack they do not tell you right away, and this game seems to have a disproportionately low number of 10 cards on doubles.

Also, in regards to the betting strategy: Yes, if you lose and then win, you only tie the same amount of NP you had before. You can double sometimes, and you can blackjack, so you still have plenty of chances at forward progress. It's better to break even than fall behind.
