The table below follows a \u00a3100 stake through every possible outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Outcome<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What Triggers It<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Pays<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Effect on a \u00a3100 Stake<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Win<\/td><td>Your total beats the dealer&#8217;s without busting, or the dealer busts<\/td><td>1:1<\/td><td>+\u00a3100<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Natural at a 3:2 table<\/td><td>An Ace and a 10-value card as your first two cards<\/td><td>3:2<\/td><td>+\u00a3150<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Natural at a 6:5 table<\/td><td>The same hand at a weaker table<\/td><td>6:5<\/td><td>+\u00a3120<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Push<\/td><td>You and the dealer finish level<\/td><td>Stake returned<\/td><td>\u00a30<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Surrender<\/td><td>You give up the hand as your first action, where the table allows it<\/td><td>Half the stake back<\/td><td>-\u00a350<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Loss<\/td><td>You bust, or the dealer finishes nearer to 21<\/td><td>Nothing<\/td><td>-\u00a3100<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Insurance wins (\u00a350 side bet)<\/td><td>The dealer shows an Ace and the hole card is worth 10<\/td><td>2:1<\/td><td>+\u00a3100 on the insurance bet<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two details are easy to miss. Winnings are paid on top of your stake, so a \u00a3100 natural at a 3:2 table puts \u00a3250 back into your balance. And if you and the dealer both hold a natural, the hand is a push. <a href=\"https:\/\/boldgambler.com\/uk\/casino\/blackjack\/how-to-play-online-blackjack-guide\/\">How to play online blackjack<\/a> shows how a natural is made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-natural-payout-3-2-or-6-5\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Natural Payout: 3:2 or 6:5?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No single rule matters as much as what a natural pays. The standard is <strong>3:2<\/strong>, but some tables pay <strong>6:5<\/strong> and a few pay only even money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving from 3:2 to 6:5 takes 20% off the profit on every natural. A natural arrives on roughly 4.75% of hands, about once in 21, so the change adds approximately <strong>1.4%<\/strong> to the house edge. A natural paid at 1:1 adds about 2.3%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Stake<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Profit at 3:2<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Profit at 6:5<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Lost on Each Natural<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>\u00a310<\/td><td>\u00a315<\/td><td>\u00a312<\/td><td>\u00a33<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u00a325<\/td><td>\u00a337.50<\/td><td>\u00a330<\/td><td>\u00a37.50<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u00a3100<\/td><td>\u00a3150<\/td><td>\u00a3120<\/td><td>\u00a330<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sharper play cannot win that money back. Six-to-five is most often attached to single-deck tables, and a single deck looks attractive until you notice that such a table can cost more than an eight-deck game paying 3:2. Where a lobby lists both versions, take the 3:2 one. Where no payout is displayed, open the rules panel before you stake anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-house-edge-and-rtp-what-blackjack-costs-in-the-long-run\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The House Edge and RTP: What Blackjack Costs in the Long Run<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>house edge<\/strong> is the share of your total stakes that the casino expects to keep across a very large number of hands. <strong>Return to Player (RTP)<\/strong> is the same idea from your side of the table: 100% minus the edge. Neither figure predicts a single session, where luck outweighs everything else. They describe the price of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The casino has an edge at blackjack because you act first: bust, and you lose even if the dealer would have gone bust too. Using perfect basic strategy at a 3:2 table dealt from six or eight decks, the house keeps about <strong>0.4% to 0.7%<\/strong> of what is staked, which means an RTP of roughly 99.3% to 99.6%. Poor rules push that figure up quickly. Put a 6:5 natural, an eight-deck shoe and a hit-soft-17 dealer together and the cost reaches about 2.06%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Table Setup<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>House Edge<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Expected Cost per \u00a31,000 Staked<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>One deck, 3:2, dealer hits soft 17, double after split<\/td><td>0.16%<\/td><td>\u00a31.60<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Eight decks, 3:2, dealer stands on soft 17, double after split<\/td><td>0.44%<\/td><td>\u00a34.40<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Eight decks, 3:2, dealer hits soft 17, double after split<\/td><td>0.66%<\/td><td>\u00a36.60<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Eight decks, 6:5, dealer hits soft 17, double after split<\/td><td>2.06%<\/td><td>\u00a320.60<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These rows are worked out for perfect basic strategy, with no surrender on offer and re-splitting allowed up to four hands. They are averages over the long run, not a forecast for tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-rule-by-rule-what-moves-the-edge\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rule by Rule: What Moves the Edge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A casino tunes a table&#8217;s margin through a handful of small rules. Each of the following either helps you or hurts you, and the effects add together:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Soft 17.<\/strong> A dealer who hits soft 17 (H17), instead of standing on it (S17), gets a second chance to improve a weak hand. That costs you about 0.22%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Doubling after a split.<\/strong> Being allowed to double on a hand created by a split (DAS) lowers the edge by about 0.14%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Late surrender.<\/strong> Folding for half your stake once the dealer has checked for a natural lowers the edge by about 0.07%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The dealer&#8217;s second card.<\/strong> If the dealer takes no hole card until the players have finished (ENHC), the edge rises by about 0.11%, because doubles and splits are exposed to a dealer natural.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The natural payout.<\/strong> 6:5 in place of 3:2 adds about 1.4%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The number of decks.<\/strong> Fewer decks favour the player, as the next table shows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deck count has a steady effect. Holding everything else at hit on soft 17, double after split and no surrender, each extra deck nudges the cost upwards:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Number of Decks<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>House Edge<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1<\/td><td>0.16%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2<\/td><td>0.46%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4<\/td><td>0.60%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>6<\/td><td>0.64%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>8<\/td><td>0.66%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fewer decks help because every card you see changes the mix of the rest by more. That makes one deck the best case and eight the worst, but the benefit vanishes if the single-deck table also pays 6:5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch for the no hole card rule at European-style tables. The dealer takes the second card only after you have acted, so a dealer natural sweeps up everything you have out, extra stakes from doubles and splits included. The <a href=\"https:\/\/boldgambler.com\/uk\/casino\/blackjack\/online-blackjack-player-actions\/\">player actions guide<\/a> explains both buttons, and <a href=\"https:\/\/boldgambler.com\/uk\/casino\/blackjack\/online-blackjack-rule-variations-regional-games\/\">rule variations and regional games<\/a> shows how different games combine these rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-insurance-and-even-money-why-the-maths-says-no\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Insurance and Even Money: Why the Maths Says No<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Insurance pays 2:1, which means it only breaks even when the dealer&#8217;s hole card is worth 10 at least one time in three. The real figure is lower: with an Ace showing, it sits near 31%. The table counts the 10-value cards still unseen once the dealer&#8217;s Ace is out, without yet considering your own hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Number of Decks<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Chance the Hole Card Is Worth 10<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>House Edge on Insurance<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1<\/td><td>16 of 51 cards (31.37%)<\/td><td>5.88%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2<\/td><td>32 of 103 cards (31.07%)<\/td><td>6.80%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>6<\/td><td>96 of 311 cards (30.87%)<\/td><td>7.40%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>8<\/td><td>128 of 415 cards (30.84%)<\/td><td>7.47%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Put \u00a3100 into insurance at a six-deck table and the long-run cost is about \u00a37.40. <strong>Even money<\/strong> is the same wager wearing a different label: you hold a natural, the dealer shows an Ace and you are offered 1:1 on the spot rather than waiting to see whether the hand pushes. It costs exactly the same, and basic strategy declines both offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-side-bets-compared-perfect-pairs-any-pair-21-3-and-lucky-lucky\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Side Bets Compared: Perfect Pairs, Any Pair, 21+3 and Lucky Lucky<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A side bet is an optional extra placed next to your main stake. It is settled by itself, pays a big multiple for a rare combination and carries a far higher cost than the base game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Side Bet<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Wins When<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Typical Payouts<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>House Edge (Eight Decks)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Perfect Pairs<\/td><td>Your first two cards are a pair<\/td><td>Mixed pair 5:1, coloured pair 10:1, suited pair 25:1<\/td><td>About 11.8%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Any Pair (as in Infinite Blackjack)<\/td><td>Your first two cards are a pair<\/td><td>Mixed pair 6:1, coloured pair 12:1, suited pair 25:1<\/td><td>4.10% (RTP 95.90%)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>21+3<\/td><td>Your two cards and the dealer&#8217;s upcard make a poker hand<\/td><td>Flush 5:1, straight 10:1, three of a kind 30:1, straight flush 40:1, suited three of a kind 100:1<\/td><td>3.70% (RTP 96.30%)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Lucky Lucky<\/td><td>Your two cards and the dealer&#8217;s upcard total 19, 20 or 21<\/td><td>Varies by paytable; the top prize is commonly 200:1 for a suited 7-7-7<\/td><td>Varies by paytable<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perfect Pairs and Any Pair are triggered by the same event, a pair among your first two cards, which turns up about 7.47% of the time with eight decks. Any difference in cost must therefore come from the paytable: 5:1, 10:1 and 25:1 is worth about 11.8% to the house, whereas the more generous 6:1, 12:1 and 25:1 used for Any Pair is worth 4.10%. In both, a mixed pair means the same rank in different colours, a coloured pair the same rank and colour, and a suited pair the same rank and suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the cheapest bet in this table costs several times the main game, so treat side bets as a pure entertainment purchase and read the paytable first. Live games that build in side bets or multipliers, Infinite and Lightning Blackjack among them, are covered in the guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/boldgambler.com\/uk\/casino\/blackjack\/online-blackjack-live-dealer-rng-formats\/\">live dealer and RNG formats<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-a-five-point-checklist-for-the-rules-panel\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Five-Point Checklist for the Rules Panel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most games hide the rules panel behind an &#8220;i&#8221; or question-mark icon, and half a minute reading it will tell you whether the table deserves your stake. The five lines to find are these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A natural pays <strong>3:2<\/strong>, not 6:5 or 1:1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The dealer <strong>stands on soft 17<\/strong> (S17).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The dealer <strong>peeks for blackjack<\/strong>, so the table does not use the European No Hole Card rule (ENHC).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Double after split<\/strong> (DAS) is allowed, ideally on any two cards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Late surrender<\/strong> is offered.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is rare for a table to meet all five, so pick the one that meets the most, beginning with the natural payout. Once you sit down, the <a href=\"https:\/\/boldgambler.com\/uk\/casino\/blackjack\/online-blackjack-basic-strategy-charts\/\">strategy charts<\/a> tell you what to do with each hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-where-to-go-next-strategy-variants-and-live-games\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Go Next: Strategy, Variants and Live Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To turn these numbers into decisions, open the <a href=\"https:\/\/boldgambler.com\/uk\/casino\/blackjack\/online-blackjack-basic-strategy-charts\/\">basic strategy charts<\/a>.

At 6:5 the same hand returns only \u00a324 and the house edge goes up by about 1.4%. Look for the payout printed on the table layout or in the rules panel. <strong>Pick 3:2 every time, because 6:5 costs much more in the long run<\/strong>.\n        <\/div>\n    <\/details>\n\n    <details class=\"faq-item\">\n        <summary><h4>How low can the house edge go?<\/h4><\/summary>\n        <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n            With a 3:2 natural, six or eight decks and perfect basic strategy, you are looking at roughly 0.4% to 0.7%. The soft 17 rule and double after split do most of the work in deciding where in that band a table falls. <strong>The best tables pay 3:2, stand on soft 17 and allow double after split and late surrender<\/strong>.\n        <\/div>\n    <\/details>\n\n    <details class=\"faq-item\">\n        <summary><h4>Is insurance ever a good bet?<\/h4><\/summary>\n        <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n            At a typical multi-deck table, no. A 2:1 payout needs a 10-value hole card one time in three to break even, but it shows up only about 31% of the time, which leaves the house a 7.4% edge in a six-deck shoe. <strong>Insurance and even money cost more than they are worth<\/strong>.\n        <\/div>\n    <\/details>\n\n    <details class=\"faq-item\">\n        <summary><h4>Do side bets make sense?<\/h4><\/summary>\n        <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n            Rarely. On the paytables shown above, 21+3 costs 3.70%, Any Pair 4.10% and Perfect Pairs about 11.8%, against roughly 0.4% to 0.7% for the main hand. A side bet is settled separately, so winning or losing one leaves your main hand untouched. <strong>Side bets are optional extras that cost several times more than the main game<\/strong>.\n        <\/div>\n    <\/details>\n\n    <details class=\"faq-item\">\n        <summary><h4>Is a single-deck table always the cheapest?<\/h4><\/summary>\n        <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n            Not if the rules around it are worse. With hit on soft 17, double after split and no surrender, the edge runs from about 0.16% with one deck to 0.46% with two, 0.60% with four, 0.64% with six and 0.66% with eight. But single-deck tables are the ones most likely to pay 6:5, so read the payout first. <strong>Fewer decks only help when the natural still pays 3:2 and the other rules stay fair<\/strong>.\n        <\/div>\n    <\/details>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Understand online blackjack payouts and house edge in the UK.
