About Blackjack Coach
What this site is
Blackjack Coach is a free place to learn how to play blackjack well. It has a practice trainer, strategy charts, and plain-language guides to the rules and to card counting. Hi, I'm Richard, and I built it.
Who it is for
It is for beginners who want to learn the game, players who want to check their habits, and anyone curious about how basic strategy and card counting work. If you have been guessing at hard 16, this is for you.
What it is not
Everything here is educational. There is no real money, no betting, and no accounts. The site has no affiliation with any casino, and it does not send you to gambling sites. Nothing here guarantees winnings. Blackjack has a house edge, and even perfect play loses over time. Please read our responsible gambling page.
Where the strategy comes from
The charts use published basic strategy that the math community computed by simulating and solving the game. I cross-checked them against the Wizard of Odds charts. If you ever find a mistake, please tell me and I will fix it.
How it is paid for
The site is supported by ads. See the privacy policy for how that works, and the terms of use for the rest.
