    Beating Live Online Blackjack?

    Maybe counting bonuses or something? What rules differ between Casino blackjack and online? I assume if you play too solid against them, they'll simply disallow you from playing.

    Also, what about regular blackjack when taking the bonuses into consideration? Beatable? Or does the house truly always win?

    yes, I read that. to be fair, the book is like D-. Paid the player and then included a clause so no future players can do this.

    So I guess if people are getting caught doing it, they must be profiting (until caught I assume)

    because Casinos have many more distractions (people talking around you/to you, noises, etc)
    whereas if it's possible to do in my underwear I can "learn" first before plying it otherwhere

    Does anyone here play online blackjack as a team so a couple of people can be in charge of counting and passing on the number to the main player? Or is it useless since online casinos may reshuffle randomly, not to mention rigged in some cases?

    Disregard my prior reply. I didn't realize they reshuffled every single time.

    As far as the rigged thing, i believe it. But not because of the cold streak thing, but the predictability of when they turn it on. In a live casino, I have had streaks where the dealer killed me and the table almost every hand before the reshuffle.

    On sportsbook.com, I won a 1000 bucks plus on BJ betting usually 2 bucks a time, and going as high as 25 or 50. I thought, "woah this is easy". One late night, I was bored and broke my rule of going on extended Blackjack benders. Damn, the casino ****** me good with an incredibly long cold streak. I didnt even resort to a pure Martingdale system. I stayed firm to the min bet for 10 hands in a row and still lost every single one. Then I doubled it (but stayed at that first doubled amount) for another 10 hands and lost almost every single one of them with incredible dealer cards. And I can't remember clearly as it was late at night(the casino's favorite time for you to play even when they are not rigged) , but I must have gone stupid Martingdale at some point after the 20 hands. Went to zero real fast. Never bothered to redeposit on sportsbook.com after that. And stayed away from online gambling of any kind for two years because it just left a real bad taste in my mouth.

    So I have been on bovada for a year and I have read here all the horror stories about any online blackjack and bvovada being as bad as any of the others. So out of curiosity, i have been betting small again and cashing out my winnings from the casino to the regular sportsbook on the site after each session. I won a 100 bucks in a couple of days the slow easy way. THen I decided to try a practice session and was betting bigger with the knowledge that I won't lose anything. Then I click on the play for real, but stayed away from betting big. Even with that conservative tiny $1 a hand betting with occasional 2 and $3 bets, I lost my 30 bucks real fast. I closed out and went to practice and won again real big but this time betting the same way I would with real money After winning a bunch of hands, I turned up the bets and nothing got affected, I was still winning . THen I went to real again. Won 20 bucks the slow way, then noticed the casino hands being incredibly lucky again for the dealer as I increased the hand, got the message and cashed out by transferring everything back to the general account balance again. Did another round of back to back practice and real. Same ******* disparity. The disparity between back to back six practice sessions and real sessions was just too much to ignore. My advice to people who know it is rigged, but have that addictive personality to ignore the common sense in your head is to just alternate the practice session with the real session. Each time I do that, it is like a slap in the face and someone then threw mud at your face to add insult to injury.

    Online Blackjack is admittedly damn addictive. The convenience of it is so good that late night impulsive playing can lead to pretty good profits for the company even if they do not rig it.

    B.S., I tried it again for 20 bucks worth after reading your reply just for the hell of it. Thank me for my 20 bucks as I kind of knew what would happen. ever since I became a marked guy , my cards are just a lot worse every single time. It's not even close to what i got early on. If it is random, I would be losing, then winning, then maybe a long losing combined with some winning. What I am getting is so totally akin to what I got on sportsbook, it's not funny. My experiment is over. I am just wiser as I am only playing with the money I earned from you guys when you tried to entice me to play more blackjack with some generous cards in my favor. I refuse to play any of my money as I lost only money I earned in blackjack. so bovada, we are even.

    Hell, not only is the practice probably rigged, maybe even the first few winnings I got from the casino were rigged.

    The 5dimes live dealer casino is an 8-deck game. Big house edge, but you can make money. Counting won't be profitable as the shoes are only 50% penetration.

    I enjoy it. Don't chase, don't bet big.

    Is there a link to perfect counting strategy?

    Like a list of clauses such as "if you're showing XX, dealer is showing Y, and count is +/- Z, you should hit/stand/double/split/surrender"

    I don't think it's ppossible to have an eedge over the house. If a casino had 75% penetration , it wouldn't last for long. Advantage players are great at finding casino flaws. I'm ytalking live online oof course as almost every single casino has at least one exploitable bj game.

    For the record, I've had the same experience betting online BJ.
    -
    I'm thoroughly convinced that the next card to be played depends on if you choose to hit or stay.
    I'm further convinced, after being dealt 14 and 15 hand time after time....that it will screw you at any time.

    It was an unrealistic burst of COLD.

    Oh yeah, one more thing.

    On the 4 times I've tried BJ on line, I've come out WAY ahead each time...ON MY FIRST VISIT.

    After that, get the KY ready.

    Beware of those Beeyictches. They smile and have great boob jobs but they are accomplices in a rigged game designed to part you from your money. Once they decide to adjust the software, you will lose 11 out of 12 hands and you'll be out of money in minutes.
