Online Blackjack
 

Anyone have any experience with online Blackjack?

The reason I ask is because I'm currently using an online casino to bet "pretend money" as per a Basic Strategy Chart.

After a few days I'm showing a profit which slowly increases as I continue playing. I'm suspicious whether some of these casinos programme their software to favor prospective clients who use their practice Blackjack games just to entice them to then play with real money.

Basic strategy loses money long term.

Now as for online casinos, do you really think a web site will be designed by a benevolent company to hand you and other players money once you start playing online blackjack for real with real money?

You'll do just as well going to the local pokies. Might as well throw your money away imo.

Hi, Mr Logic.

I've seen different Basic Strategies. As mathematics is a precise science you'd expect one or identical ones to be the best. The B.S. (doesn't sound too exciting) I've got is from Andy Bloch who, with his team, is reported to have won millions of dollars by using this B.S. with card counting, so you'd expect it to be very accurate.

If I was an online casino boss I would make the game as fair as possible because it is such a competitve area that one cannot afford to provide dubious games, and also the deck is shuffled after every game to prevent card counting. After saying that, I would be surprised if they are all entirely honest.

I have done further reasearch, and the casino I've been practising has been in existence for 11 years and has a very strong reputation. I don't know if I can name it here as I might be breaching forum rules.

Do you know of any online casinos that offer the surrender feature because mine doesn't, and because of this I have lost (on paper only) much money.

It is possible to make a bit of money out of the online casinos from the different bonuses they offer. It is not quite as lucrative or easy as it was in the past, but some of us still continue to pull a decent profit from it.
