How and Where to Learn
There are many ways to learn the game of Blackjack which is also called 21. The basic motive of the game is to try and get a score of 21 but not more. This is simple enough but depending on what type of Blackjack a player chooses and if money is involved or not there are many things to consider. A person that has never played Blackjack online should look up a good Blackjack forum and read a bit about how the game is played online before joining a Blackjack casino. Unlike the land-based casino Blackjack doesn?t have to be played against other players online. It is very common to play against the dealer alone and this could mean a different approach. A good online Blackjack casino will offer a Blackjack school where beginner can learn from scratch and other can brush up their memory a bit. This should be followed by a good free online Blackjack version where the game can be learnt in a relaxed manner. Once a player feels ready to enter the games with prize sums and competition the play alone will work as a teacher.
Advancing
The best way to advance and become a better Blackjack player is to simply play a lot and preferably against other players. Blackjack tournaments are an excellent way to learn the game by way of experience. If a player has the option of chatting with other Blackjack players this could be a great way to exchange advice and learn from others mistakes and successes. It also makes it more fun to play Blackjack online when there is some form of communication with the other players. This is no less so when the crowd of players are from all over the world. Blackjack strategy is readily available online and a player is wise to see what others have to say about a specific strategy before applying it to his games.
Blackjack Professionals
A few Blackjack players are determined to reach the top and eventually make a living from their gaming. This is certainly possible as many of the professional Blackjack players can testify to. To become a true Blackjack star it is good to consider learning from the stars of the past and today. Blackjack card counting is something that most of the leading Blackjack players are well understood with. There are different systems of counting and by trying a few out a player could eventually find his own method of keeping track of the cards.

Theres a LOT to learn when you want to beat a blackjack table. i recently answers somebodies question on this with more detail than i usually do in my answers, this is the link… http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ap0aKjvUfeN94H0ig3ouVvfty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090123050735AAwY1Pe&show=7#profile-info-mtBJIkpGaa
that explains all the necessary info for one particular card counting system.
****THIS IS THE BEST EXPLANATION AVAILABLE ON YAHOO ANSWERS**** period, idc what you think, i know more about blackjack advantage play than anybody here
If you do everything i wrote in that article, and only play when the count is high ***enough*** for you to have a player advantage as i described, you will expect to win money, there re other ways to play, and other ways to bet, but that way it the most efficient, in terms of the dollar amount you expect to win, it is however less efficient in risk aversion, and variance vs. time, which are concepts im not going to explain
there are some good links on that posting, and these are a few more.

Hoyle.com they are the authority on card games.
You might be able to teach one a VERY rudimentary form of playing blackjack, whereby he/she (the dog, that is) could learn to bark or not, signifying hit or stay, when you tell it certain numbers. I can't imagine it going much beyond that though.
I also have played BJ many years with great success. I limit my sessions to no more than 2 hours, and limit my chip loss to $15 on any table. If I lose more than that I switch tables or casinos. My win rate is around 70%, you must keep a record of all your sessions. I've have been barred in 3 casinos. You must learn basic strategy and card counting. The key to winning, is how you accept losing sessions, like the hotshots on the movie 21 that thought they could not lose.
Finding a place to learn blackjack online is easy. The hard part is learning to play it well enough to give yourself the advantage over the house at certain times. Bodoglife.com has a good blackjack program to learn on. You should also go to a place like blackjacktactics.com to learn the basic blackjack strategy as well as the basic hi/lo count system.
As for the Casino Host job, that's a bit more difficult. That is one of the most wanted jobs in Las Vegas. You can not just walk in a get a Casino Host job. Casino Hosts work there way up through the Casino, making contacts and friends as they go. It's all about customer service and making contacts and a lot of the job is spend developing new contacts out of the Casino when your players are not in it playing. The pay is incredible if you are good, but it generally takes years in the Casino first to make it there and there are very limited spots open to get. I would suggest dealing blackjack first to work your way up through dealer, pit boss, management, etc.
The differences between regular blackjack and Super Fun 21 can be found at http://www.ranked-online-casinos.com/super-fun-21-online-casinos.html You can also find casinos that offer this game online.
Here are some good tips:
Always double down on an 11. Only double down on a 10 if the dealer's face-up card is somewhere between a deuce and an eight; Aces, nines, and tens are dangerous.
Never split any fives or tens (including 10-point cards). You already have a ten with the first scenario, and a 20 is one of the strongest hands of all.
Always split Aces. Even though you receive only one card to each new hand, the potential for Blackjack is always there.
Always split eights unless the dealer's face-down card is a deuce to a five. A dealer has to take another card on a 16.
If the table requires the dealer to hit a soft hand (ace as 11), skip it. Good casinos require dealers to stop whenever they have an ace and at least a six, meaning they can't regard it as a one-point card. Bad casinos require dealers to continue until they have a hard hand (ace as one).
You might also consider looking for some Tom Ainslie books. My favorite is in this link:
No problem…you'll learn how to play blackjack and other popular casino games for free at http://GamblingReviewsSite.com/casinogames You will also get Blackjack tips above and beyond the typical tutorial. After a few short minutes you'll be a master. Blackjack is not a game of skill as much as it is knowing what to do when, there are never any decisions to make they are all made for you. All you have to do is learn them! Have fun and good luck!

Basic Blackjack Rules:
The goal of blackjack is to beat the dealer's hand without going over 21.
Face cards are worth 10. Aces are worth 1 or 11, whichever makes a better hand.
Each player starts with two cards, one of the dealer's cards is hidden until the end.
To 'Hit' is to ask for another card. To 'Stand' is to hold your total and end your turn.
If you go over 21 you bust, and the dealer wins regardless of the dealer's hand.
If you are dealt 21 from the start (Ace & 10), you got a blackjack.
Blackjack usually means you win 1.5 the amount of your bet. Depends on the casino.
Dealer will hit until his/her cards total 17 or higher.
Doubling is like a hit, only the bet is doubled and you only get one more card.
Split can be done when you have two of the same card – the pair is split into two hands.
Splitting also doubles the bet, because each new hand is worth the original bet.
You can only double/split on the first move, or first move of a hand created by a split.
You cannot play on two aces after they are split.
You can double on a hand resulting from a split, tripling or quadrupling you bet.
Good luck!
splitting cards.. if you get a pair of something, then you can split them. You put out an extra bet of the same amount since you are choosing to have another hand by splitting. Once they are split, you play them as seperate hands. If you split aces, you get just 1 card.
(at least where I worked.)
Play at a free game site like pogo.com .. maybe yahoo or msn games has it too. But realize you'll win more often than normal in a free online game.
They won't let you be the dealer.. you're the player in the free games ive seen.
If you go to a casino, you can ask if they give away the free card that tells you what to do in each situation.. when to hit and when to stay. Many casinos give them out free.
Black Jack is a simple game that the player actually has an edge to win. It is a game of skill .. playing the odds. Practice the basics of the game over and over. When you get to Vegas, play the black jack video machines to prepare you. Use the live game instructors at most of the casinos on the strip. They are usually held in the morning hours when the crowds are low.
