Automatic Winner Charlie Rule in Blackjack
Last update: April 26, 2007
Rarely in blackjack there is a rule that if the player reaches a certain number of cards, usually 5 to 7, without busting, the player will automatically win. This is called a "Charlie." If the player automatically wins with 7 cards or less, without busting, that rule would be called a "seven-card Charlie."
As shown in my blackjack section, the house edge is lowered 0.01% under the seven-card Charlie rule, 0.16% under a six-card Charlie rule, and 1.46% under a five-card Charlie rule.
The following table, for 3 or more cards, shows the basic strategy if the player is one or two cards away from an automtic winner.
