3-5-7 Strategy
So 3-5-7 is not a very complicated game, and after betting, the player really has no control over what happens, other than whether or not to surrender. But, between that and the fact that you may choose to bet different amounts on the 3, 5, and 7 card hands, there actually is a strategic element to the game. It’s really quite simple. First, the house advantages of the games are as follows:
3-3.49%, 5-4.12%, 7-3.28%
So, a couple of things should be clear here. First, if you know how to, and enjoy, playing other games, by all means do. This is not the best odds on the casino floor, by a long shot. That being said, the basic strategy is pretty self explanatory. Remember that the 7 card hand is optional to play. It’s not from a strategic point. Always play the 7 card hand. Along the same lines, never surrender. Finally, place bets according to odds. For instance, you might place $10 on the 3 card hand, $5 on the 5 card hand, and $15 on the 7 card hand.
