Journal Entry #11, Cheating the Dealers for all their worth

Who loves playing the game Black Jack known as Gaia Cards. Well I bet of you want to stab/burn/break the dealers, but why bother? Be that parasite like me and suck all that yummy gold they keep taking from you. This little tip shall help you in ways into beating these dealers:

LUCK OF THE DRAW!
1. Lets say you have a low card number like 12, and the dealer has a 6 face up. The BEST option is to just stay. The reason is they usually will cause themselves to bust, by the game rules, they can't stop drawing until reach 17 or more, so if they have 15...or 16, they are forced to draw, most of the time causes a bust and you to win.

2. Another one is quite a gable, if the dealer has 7 face up or higher, and you have a low card number below 16...the best bet is to draw and hold for the best, cause almost everytime then have a 10 or a face card face down.

NOW TO CHEAT!
3. You hace 2 Cheats, "Redraw" and "Peek" NEVER waste a Cheat for a "Peek" Only use your cheat for "Redraw" Cause if that one face card is good, I rather take the chance of getting rid of rather then seeing the other one.

4. The dealers cheat we know, but you can to, but theres always a risk. But lets say the dealer has 7 face up, and you have...15, the dealer most likly hiding a 10 or higher face down. BUT heres the gamble, you can use the "Redraw" cheat and remove it, in chance of it getting better or worse...BUT ONLY do it when you have a great chance of winning, so I would say not wasting that cheat for that 15 you have, just hit and hope the best. NOW if you lets say 10 and the dealer has a face card face up, don't waste that "Redraw" Cheat, at least not untill you see what you hit, if your hit is good, and your sure you'll win if you use the "Redraw" Then use the cheat. But if you pull a 3 and get 13, hit again. No point wasting a cheat if your goning to lose anyway.

5. Now the most annoying cheat these dealers can throw the "Pocket" heat, allowing to pull out an Ace and usually Black Jack you. And the most common is the "Restart" cheat, which does the same as the "Redraw" cheat. Now sometimes the dealers use these and sometimes mess themselves up and busting or being lower. Just because they used a cheat, doesn't mean you should waste yours like that, save your cheat for when it counts for a sure win.

DOUBLE DOWN!
6. Ah to double down, is to raise the stakes. I'm sure everyone know how to use this little trick. The BEST is to only use it when you have 10 or 11 and the dealer has a 6 face up or lower.

COMBO OWNES!
7. Now the challenge, combos are great, but only if used correctly. My best Combo is the on step 6, but add the "Redraw". There are other combos, but I only advise using this one, the others are for more expirenced people like me. If you don't like that thought, find them yourselves.

NEVER GO OUT!
8. Just because you beat one dealer, doesn't mean you should quit, there are still 2 more dealers to face. Besides that each time you beat them they give you tickets if you beat them.

9. If you win, always use the won tokens, don't use the ones that have not ben used unless you run our of the won tokens for 2 reasons. 1 If you double down, it takes the tokens from your unsed ones. AND 2 if you have to go and must check out, all your won tokens will be turned into tickets, and you never lose your unused one so you can use them later.

10. Health, we all see those health bars, if you quite your health reset to 100%. But I advise to keep going cause your health will continue to incrase, the hiest I got so far is 230% health. Also your cheat meter and won token stay around also, so don't leave the game unless you really must.

I hope all this hard work teaching gives me some dontation ^_^
