What is the “correct” basic strategy for blackjack?
There is only one “correct” basic strategy for this game given a set of established rules. However, since all casinos don’t offer the same rules the basic strategy can be slightly different from game to game. Also, the number of decks used affects the basic strategy slightly. Peter Griffin’s Theory of Blackjack and Stanford Wong’s Basic Blackjack are the player’s best resources for the “correct” basic strategy for any number of decks and rules. Basic strategy charts can also be found in my book Blackjack: A Professional Reference and in the online Encyclopedia of Casino Twenty-One at http://www.BJRnet.com .
