If you've never played Blackjack, there are certain rules of thumb that you can follow. For example, never hit your 12, 13, 14, 15, or 16 when the dealer is showing a 3, 4, 5, or 6; always split your aces; always split your 8's and always double down on an 11, if the dealer has 10 or less. These basic tips are helpful, but I advise everybody to get a copy of the "basic strategy" card.
