Delving deep into the game of blackjack beyond the basic strategy is the name of the game here.

Are you familiar with kinesics? By definition, it’s the ability to interpret another’s body language, facial expressions, etc. If you’re receptive to such movements and behavior, this communication can be used as a tool step up your blackjack game.

We’ve got an article dedicated to the topic of kinesics and how it applies to the dealers.

There’s more where that came from!
