Here's how to calculate 3 to 2 payouts for blackjack without fuss. Simply multiply each digit one and a half times and add them up. Say your bet is $18. This number breaks down as 10 plus 8. One and a half times 10 is 15 and one and a half times 8 is 12. Add 15 and 12 to reach the total: 27.

Want another example? Assume you place a bet of $38. That's 30×1.5 (45) and 8×1.5 (12,) which comes to a payout of 57.

As you can see, the above method works very smoothly for even numbers. Odd numbers, however, can be trickier. Say you bet $111 dollars. Suddenly, this method doesn't seem so easy, does it? Most people would need to use a calculator. The way to go here is to break the number down into three parts: 100, 10 and 1. Then apply the method to each part, so you get 150, 15 and 1.5, for a total of 166.5. It may take some getting used to at first, but it's the quickest way to reach a result, short of whipping out your phone.
