Blackjack Etiquette

[cyrilcossy]

Playing blackjack is like a human activity. There are etiquette that you should know. From 21 hand signal etiquette where most of the communication will be done by your hands. eg: for face up game: pointing at your own card means hit, wave your hand over your cards, with your hand parallel to the table means standing, place a 2nd bet NEXT TO your original bet. don't place the 2nd bet on top of your original bet means doubling and/or splitting. and for face down: scraping the table with your hand means hit, put your cards underneath your bet means standing and turn your cards face up, and place a 2nd bet next to your original bet means doubling and/or splitting.

etiquette is forgotten when you play with friends. but if you are in a formal setting like a casino, then i agree that etiquette needs to be followed at all times.

you have to follow etiquette when you play so as not to offend the other players. but yeah, you can be lax when amongst friends. but in casinos, you better stick to it coz they can ask you to leave.

Speaking of being asked to leave, this is so true! My friend and I were at the Belagio like two years ago and he was making a scene at the tables and was asked to leave by one of the guys in black.... hahaha!

Oh that sucks. Casinos are like a tight knit community. They have a black book of cheaters and those extra "lucky" ones...

And yes, there seems to be lots of body language involved in blackjack in contrast to poker.
