The only way you can win playing Blackjack is to use a counting system, and most of the online casinos will use a single-deck and re-shuffle after each hand... so no way to take advantage of it.

As for the ones using, let's say, 6 decks, they will always (or almost) re-shuffle before there's less than 2 decks remaining, and every counter knows that it is usually when there's a few cards remaining that you can have a descent advantage - and therefore increase the amount of your bets... So forget about it.. if you think you can make money playing Blackjack via the Internet, I'm afraid to tell you that you're dreaming in colors. And there's also no way you can prove that the "shuffling system" isn't crooked.

Play for fun if you want, but don't play as an investment.. if you 'try' to do so, not only you'll lose your time but you'll also lose your money.

I tried playing online BJ a couple of years back and got absolutely killed!! NEVER AGAIN. I like a green felt table, a skimpily clad waitress with some cold beverages, and lots of different casinos to walk to when I hit a cold streak.

Ya know the funny thing is I took my first trip to Vegas last summer and spent about a total of 15 minutes on the slot machines. It was amazing all the people throwing their $$$$$ away. I guess blackjack is just my vice

I have been killed doing this sooo many times. I have almost learned my lesson, but sometimes I still go back for a little lesson. What I have found as a decent way to not get killed, and I actually have made a little bit with is the online slots. I have been playing them for about 2 months now, and they arent bad at all. The only thing is that you have to keep at it until you hit. You must not quit, that is the thing. I have not been screwed yet. The worst thing that has happened is that I went about 100 in the hole and then hit for 30, so i lost 70, but my winnings over time covered that. I know I may get killed eventually, but it is much safer than blackjack in my opinion. I have had times at the BJ table that I was drawn about 8 straight hands of 13-16, what the hell do you do with that??? Besides lose, not much...

Actual experience...Long story made short...Years ago, I was in a casino in Lake Tahoe playing blackjack...just me and the dealer...he shuffled and dealt me two cards face down...before I could lift my cards to see my count, he leaned over and whispered , "You have fourteen.". I HAD fourteen.

On Line Blackjack.....If you are foolish enough to play an electronic card game where YOU HAVE NO IDEA whether you are being manipulated or not, the casino is surely smart enough to take your money. "Welcome to my parlor", said the spider to the fly.

Lastly, if you are going to play Blackjack at a casino, you should become familiar with "Pyramid Betting."

i tell you guys what... i used to do that online BJ and casino BJ a lot. the online BJ... i made some serious dough.. no jokes. i made some dough. i lost big at times as well, but thru it all i ended up ahead. (no i am not bragging or even recommending it to anyone) i did some "dumb" things on those games and more often then not it paid off for me.

But never again will i even sit at a BJ table be it live or be it online or be it memorex.
and i will ask you all the same question:

WHY are you playing a game, where no matter what you do, the other guy (house) has the odds in his favor to win?
