When dealer is holding a 4, 5 or 6, these are the most favour cards players want to see in
dealer's hand, because these are cards that will ended up a busted hand (exceed 21 points) most
of the time. In this situation, if you are holding cards added up to points of 9, 10, or 11,
always double your bets; and always stopped drawing cards if you have points of
12 or over and let the dealer to get his busted hand instead of drawing cards.
