You should be aware that the casino still has the edge in blackjack, even if you use this blackjack strategy chart. However, by playing according to the blackjack chart you minimize the casinos edge - almost to the break even point; thereby maximizing your chances of winning at blackjack. You can see how big the casinos edge is in the top right corner of your custom made blackjack strategy chart - the casinos edge naturally varies depending on the blackjack rules.
To use the basic strategy chart, look up your blackjack hand along the left vertical edge, and the dealer's up card along the top. In both cases an 'A' stands for Ace. From top to bottom are the blackjack hard totals, soft hands totals, and what blackjack hands you are allowed to split.
