Tactical Basic Strategy Rules for Singapore Players
- ✦Always Split Aces and 8s: A pair of 8s is a vulnerable 16; splitting creates two viable attacking hands.
- ✦Double Down on 11 vs 2–10: Doubling down against a weak dealer upcard maximizes positive mathematical EV.
- ✦Decline Insurance Bets: Insurance carries an unacceptable negative expectation exceeding 7.4%.
