Blackjack - I'm hooked!

Try starting a new account each day.

You could even do each account with $100 (and try and turn it into $1000) if the initial capital is too much.
 
sKaLpZ,

BlackJack using a perfect strategy will give the House an edge of 0.5%. Which means negative expectancy of -$0.005 for each $1 you bet. Calculations of these types are been there done that to death.

Sorry but sad to say you have no idea how to play BlackJack, let alone win the House.

From what i'm reading you're just doing Martingale. Think about it, casinos in Vegas have been around for more than 30 years. Have you heard of anyone bankrupting the house by winning?

well, for example: if you lose 10-times in a row, and the next 10-times the dealer wins in a row. Most likely you are due for a win.

Scary if you really believe that.
 
It's called variance, and it's a tough lesson to learn in the real world.

Flip a coin 100 times, "odds" are that it'll turn 50x50. But, in the real world, the first 30 could go against you, and now we'll talk "bankroll".

A $25 player needs a 10 G bankroll to stay in the game, and I mean a pro $25 player.

I was thrown out of Imperial Palace one day by this guy whose knuckles were dragging on the ground. Scared the crap out of me. And I was breaking even! The rest of the table was getting killed, I was new at it, and I made some pro plays without any camoflauge.

What kind of people don't like you because you know how to play.? If it were golf, Tiger would be banned. Stupid.

although for the amount of hours put in (planning, training, playing) and the number of ppl involved (players, management) plus the risk (of getting beat up) it didn't seem like that great of an accomplishment

Yes, they counted cards. sKaLpZ has stated several times that he is not counting cards. He seems to think he has an edge with varying his bet size yet the method he uses for varying the bet does not appear to follow any logical method that would give an edge, e.g. "If I lose X times in a row then I must be due for a winner" is not an edge.

funny isn't it? casinos encourage people to "make their fortune" there and beat up anyone who did.

nowdays with the 7-10+ deck shue and constant reshuffle its pointless trying to count cards.

Poker however....is still playable. :D

we got to look at what the strength(s) of the house really is.

One of the house's biggest strengths is that you have to play your hand before the dealer does.

I see one of two probabilites happening here:

1. You are self delusional.
2. Your posts in this thread are a put-on.

that is what I meant by 'odds.'

Confirmed, trolling. Lol.
 
Yahoo Blackjack is so easy to win. If you play basic strategy with the dealer without even counting cards, im sure 75% of the people playing it will end up positive.

Casino BlackJack is totally different .. much tougher. Each casinos has their different set of rules and most of them are set to the disadvantage the players.

For example:
-NO submission rule
-Cant hit or double down after splitting with the aces
-6-8 deck of cards
-no jackpot or bonus if u get 7-7-7

Black Jack is tough a better alternative i believe is Baccarat.
