Odds of Busting after Hitting a Card

Knowing how high the chance to get twenty-one is if you're holding a certain number of points is helpful. The table below shows the approximate numbers valid for the situation when a shoe has just been launched. After all, if, for example, during the first draw on all boxes there are some tens, in the very next hand, these numbers are unlikely to be correct because the game has an uneven number of cards of various denominations.

Of course, if you have eleven or fewer points, you can not bust taking one card, so the chances are zero. Accordingly, any card can be taken to the sorting if you have twenty-one.
