Its probably a suckers game but online I can bet as little as $1 a hand where as at Foxwoods I have to bet $25 a hand.

How can we know if its legit?

Do you play? How do you do?

I love the fact that I can drop me bet down to $1 during a losing streak and then bring it up to $250 when it gets hot.

I like playing in the comfort of my own home as well.

grog,

At a minimum, it is "rigged" to have a house edge. Unless you
are getting a bonus that overcomes that house edge, why play at
all?

Why not just take a match and light your money on fire?

You bet $250 a hand and the house has a 1% edge, you are throwing
away $2.50 in e.v. every time you play a hand.

It really broke me over the years and i consider myself an expert player. I got destroyed at pinnacle, 5dimes, olympic and others. I wrote a letter to Shackleford who is the guy who put together the blackjack program at pinnacle even. I know it is rigged!! I just had a very hard time stopping. The only BJ online that i found that wasn't rigged was the Bet365 live dealer BJ. I had some good times with that, and you can even communicate with the cute Phillipino dealers.

Stick to the major software platforms and you will get fair cards.

Anyone have experience with the Bookmaker.com casino.

I have played and won and lost. I guess there is no real way to know if its fair play or not.

I don't mind playing against a house edge but i don't want to play against a rigged system.

I'm sure you do.

You should probably seek professional help.

I make too much money betting sports to seek help. It took
me awhile but i am done with online blackjack. If i want my
BJ fix i go to AC. The only person who
can truly make you stop in the end is yourself! Those programs
they have set up don't do jack$hit.

Well it's not really a problem if you can stop yourself.

WHen one of the major online poker rooms launched BJ I would drop in and play a few hands while playing a holdem tournament.
After several times I realized that each time I played BJ I would win the first hand of the session.
Then I found if I closed the software (poker and all) then relaunched it, logged into BJ, it would pay off the first hand every time.

It took them about two months to change that.
