SHOE

BLACKJACK TERMS DICTIONARY

 

 
   

SHOE

In the game of Blackjack, the term "shoe" means a holder, often plastic, that holds large numbers of decks of cards for a blackjack game.  Shoes are necessary for games that use 6 or 8 decks of cards since a dealer can not hold that many decks in their hands.  Therefore the dealer will shuffle the decks, allow a player to cut them, burn one or more top cards and then place the remaining cards into the "shoe".  The shoe also has a convenient front portion where the dealer may draw a card out one at a time in order to deal.

Does this book tell you how to win? No. It does tell you how you might get the odds in your favor, and gives some strategy tables for some of the more common blackjack games played in casinos. It also tries to explain using math and simulations why getting the odds in your favor may indeed improve your play, but why no one we know of can guarantee winning all of the time.
