Mafia Wars - BlackJack - Counting Cards
Share
Hi Mobsters,
For all those eager to try your hands at the Mafia Wars Blackjack, here’s a quick and easy card counting strategy.
To get started, here’s a brief summary of how Blackjack works. The objective of the game is to beat the MW boss with a Total of 21 or less. If you want to be a successful Blackjack player there are two things you should know. One is the Basic Strategy and the other is Card Counting.
Ideally, in Blackjack, as each card is dealt, the deck changes in composition and thus the odds lilt subtly in favour back and forth between Dealer and Player. The process of card counting seeks to identify those periods which favour the player, and bet high, and those periods which favour the Dealer, and bet low. There are two things a Player has the power to make decisions over. One is the way he plays his cards, the other is how much he bets. Well, the Basic Strategy has the card playing sorted out. All that needs to be done now is turn your attention to betting big when you think you are going to win, betting small when you’re going to lose.
The simple high-low strategy for card counting:
This involves counting off the high cards against the low cards. The Low Cards are 2 to 6 and the High Cards are 10 to Ace. For every low card you count "+1" and for every high card you count "-1". Seven, eight and nine receive no value at all. So, we have 5 low cards and 5 high cards.
Thus, the basic logic applies that if you receive more low cards than high cards, further on along the deal you’re going to receive more high cards than low cards. It’s simple – if there are only 5 of each. Depleting one incrementally increases the chances of receiving the other. If you run out of low cards, then you only have high cards to receive. In card counting, this is exactly what is meant by keeping count – the proportion of high cards to low cards yet to be dealt.
When the count is even, and the deck favours neither high cards or low cards, there is no particular advantage to either Player or Dealer. But when the count goes high, indicating that the deck has proportionally more 10’s and Aces than it does 2’s to 6’s, the play favours the player and he will win more often than he loses. If he bets high, he will win more while he is winning more often. However, when the count is low, indicating that the deck has proportionally fewer Aces and 10's then it does 2's to 6's, then play will favour the Dealer and the Player will lose more often. If he bets low, he will lose less while he is losing more often. You should aim at being able to reliably count off a deck in 30 seconds or less. Then try counting multiple decks.
Why don’t you give this a try in Mafia Wars? Check out Blackjack now!

Can't see the whole page or my page jump up

If you can't see whole page of the game, or your page jump up here is a simple solution for that problem, and you do not need to have any script for this.
(for Mafia Wars players)
1. this is example for those who are not able to see whole page of the jobs in the game (the same is for all options in the game: war, fight list...)
2. This is mouse, an old but good, and position of the wheel on it.
3. PRESS wheel on the mouse!
4. Scroll down with the wheel. When you are on the place you wish to see, or on the bottom of the page simply press the mouse wheel once more.
5. The same solution is for the game page if it jumps up. Press the mouse wheel, scroll down and press wheel once more when you are on the place of the page you wish to be. You will probably need to do that every time (example: Richie stash and ask for help) when you wish to post ask for help, but you will be able to ask for help. Hope this will help.

Blackjack is in the game
ShareBlackjack Beginnings!
Hi Mobsters!
Did you know that at this exact moment, in a casino somewhere a player and the card dealer are locked in battle?
Yes, Blackjack, also known as Twenty One, is the most widely played casino card game in the world. But what’s interesting is the mystery that surrounds the origins of this game.
Some people believe that Blackjack originated in French Casinos in the early 1700s. But no one really knows for sure the exact origin of the game. Blackjack got its name because if a player held a Jack of Spades and an Ace of Spades as the first two cards, the player was paid out extra. So, with a Jack being a vital card and Spades being black, the game was called Blackjack.
In the modern game, a Blackjack refers to any hand of an ace plus a ten or face card, regardless of suits or colours.
Today, many variations of the game rules exist, and for a very long time now, Blackjack has attracted many high-profile players across the world, particularly card counters, who track the profile of cards that have been dealt.
It is no secret that given the nature of the game and the high stakes involved here, the game has been a target for the underworld. It is believed that many Blackjack tournaments are secretly held in the dark insides of a Casino and attract Mafia from across the globe.
But whatever the origin or nature of the game, one thing is for sure – the widely played casino card game, Blackjack was not conceived by any one person at any one particular point in time. It has evolved over the centuries and continues to evolve attracting an even larger and diverse set of players today.
Fuelling its popularity, and playing a key part in the evolution of Blackjack, Mafia Wars brings to you its adaption of this card game, where Bosses are dealers and taking them down will earn you some amazing rewards.
So, you think you have it in you to go for the win? Try your hand at Blackjack in Mafia Wars.

In Mafia Blackjack, you play against the currently active Boss, who is also the Dealer.
Your aim is to accumulate a higher Score (total numeric value of your cards) than the Dealer (Boss), but without going over 21. Your score is calculated by adding the values of your individual cards (card values are described below).
Glossary:
Deck of Cards: 52 Cards (13 cards each in 4 Suites)
Suites: Spades, Hearts, Clubs and Diamonds (all suites are equal in strength).
Face Cards: All Jacks, Queens and Kings.
Value of Cards:
Suites: Spades, Hearts, Clubs and Diamonds (all suites are equal in strength).
Face Cards: All Jacks, Queens and Kings.
Value of Cards:
· Cards from 2 to 10 represent their own numerical value.
· All Face Cards (Jacks, Queens and Kings) are counted as 10.
· All Aces are worth 1 or 11, whichever is better to help you reach the score of 21, without going over 21.
