Blackjack Does The Number Of Players Matter


Dear Mark,
I believe it is easier to beat blackjack as a single player, whereas a
dealer told me it makes no difference how many players are on the game.
Was she right? Sheldon D.

She's bright and right, Sheldon. The number of players on a game makes a duck's egg difference in terms of the game being beatable. The house edge remains the same if there are one, two, three, or even five players on the table. However, because the speed of play slows with multiple players, you end up playing fewer hands per hour, and since the casino has a built-in edge on all play (except play by card counters), you will, theoretically, lose less money. So, Sheldon, for most players, a multiplayer game is more favorable, not less.

By the way, Sheldon, playing decisions made by other players at your
table will not affect your expected return. If some nincompoop on third
base splits tens, yep, it's annoying, but statistically it makes zero
difference to you over the long haul.
