Blackjack Online

Shea · Dec 12, 2005

Has anyone had any successes playing blackjack online? I started playing a few days ago at nine.com and I'm not having any luck. I was curious if the odds at the online casinos were the same/different as what could be expected in playing in Vegas. Any thoughts?

tons of threads on here. most people agree its not a game anyone should be playing online since it isnt regulated.hard to know how fair it is.

I don't get why people play casino games online. No way to regulate it. At least with Poker you know you have a fair shot playing against real people.

At most places, you will have a fair shot. That being said, you need to remember that a fair shot still makes playing blackjack -EV, because the house has the advantage.

Throw in some strong bonuses, however, and you should be able to make the game +EV.

I have played, won and collected online. And all with free accounts. However, remember you are playing a negative expectation game and you are likely to lose. The odds are worse than playing in a land based casino as you are playing against 6 decks that are shuffled after every hand. This increases the casino edge about 1 percent over a land casino edge. Being their edge is greater there is less of a chance of you winning but I do think for the most part their games are dealt fairly.

Nonsense, almost all online casinos deal a fair game just like Las Vegas.

However you can expect to lose 0.5% to 1% of all your bets with perfect playing strategy. Thus there is no way to win long term without some sweetener.

Hard to play perfect playing strategy when you draw a 20 and the dealer constantly pulling a 21 from their ass. These casinos exist for a reason and it's not to give everyone a fair shake and have the same hold as Vegas or AC. Do they have winners? Most definitely! But at the loss of how many people? Anyone who compares a land based casinos to an online as far as the proportion of winners to losing playing "perfect strategy" or not is out of their minds!

Damn, sad to see that but that's how most of us learn, the hard way!

I strongly believe the casinos at online sportsbooks rip you off.

I made a little success at online casinos but never won casinos at sportsbooks. I had like 1-10 on blackjack at pinnaclesports.com, lost all of my balance. I was better at gosportbet.com but couldn't win after all.

You shouldn't play casinos at sportsbook. Go to online casinos if you wanna play casinos.

If there is any consolation, I had no out of pocket loss here, but I drained a perfectly good out. Still it was a good couple of weeks of profit here and it didn't stop me from going out and puking off my back porch.

Life IS tough. And it IS tougher if you're stupid.
