    Online blackjack is pretty much the same as at brick and mortar casinos. If anything the online places have better odds. There's so many different internet casinos that they have to be highly competitive with each other and therefore have an incentive to offer more player-friendly rules. Where I live there's only three real casinos in the area (not including the card rooms downtown with the dumb "No Bust California 21" games or whatever) and they're all pretty far apart from each other so they're able get away with rules that have a larger house edge.

    The reason why you always hear these stories about the dealer getting lucky breaks is because you see a lot more hands online than you do in person sitting at a table with other people. Blackjack has a house edge and you can't beat the math in the long-run, but when you take all the comps and everything into consideration then it's possible to come out ahead playing perfect strategy against good rules. Unfortunately that's not the case online.

    I won 10k one time. Since then a few hundred here and there. Play on sites with the same software as SBR (bookmaker, DSI, justbet etc). Occasionally you will go on a heater. Ive found sites like Bodog to be tough because it seems like the result can be altered if you adjust your bet amount.

    Plus youll want to get comp for playing. Bookmaker Bet Points will basically double/triple any comp Bodog will issue you. I had 300,000 in handle, and broke even last week and I only earned 155 dollars comp on Bodog. I looked to see what I would of earned on Bookmaker and it came out around 600 dollars.

    As a frequent player on a lot of online casinos, I would say they are all rigged. Eventually you will get overrun in any game, so if you can make a few dollars, take it and run.

    think you always need to have a big bank roll.

    so you can take some of the real bad runs.

    online casino seem very streaky, not sure why, but ive also gone on some huge unbelievable runs that have gone my way.

    I won once, I took a free 30$ free play from William Hill, played BJ only and I cashed out 300$ (which was the maximum I could cash out). Im ahead cause I never deposit in online casinos.

    You can win an online casino, but this is not for a long term winnings. Because it is on your hand if you will continue playing after winning a price. If you prefer to play casino for just having fun, well i must say online casino is best for you, easy and not that hassle to play.

    I won a progressive in a microgamoing casino for about 12k once, I was 8k down in 5 years prior to that. I lost 5k in a month after that so I am down obviously, but I withdrew the rest at least. I am not making any more casino deposits. Well I am kind of a degen so maybe I do lol. But at least I partied and I bought a new laptop!

    I don't like web casino, because the lose is sure.
    I play only here on SBR, because I can permit myself to lose 100 betpoints without big drama :-D

    I have played for a long time had an incredible run for a week playing daily turned $500 into $20,000 cashed out $5,000 left the rest in eventually lost it all back in like 5 hours. Then several other times ran a few hundred up to thousands but eventually lose it all back it is too easy and addicting when you sit in front of the computer not to log in and play a few hands . Never again. It was awesome seeing all that $$ in my acct , but the feeling when you lose it all back not good and then you never stop deposit after deposit to get it back .

    I won $36,000 over about 10 months from the old Bet Jamaica. My only advice has been mentioned above a few times. Set a bottom. There are so many hands and the action gets so quick, what you earn over several weeks or longer of chipping away can go up in smoke literally in a 30 minutes...or less.
    Agree with the big bankroll too. BUT AGAIN SET A LOSS AMOUNT/TIME LIMIT. I broke that rule just a few days ago here at SBR and gave back 20,000 points.
    Also, play alone with no audience, do not play at work and play sober. Play with no emotion, don't play after a fight with the better half.

    If you chip away and set a bottom, you can do it. It's how I got my $36,000.

    You'd need the following:

    6 Deck Shoe
    BJ Pays 3:2
    Surrender Allowed
    resplit aces after split
    DD allowed after Ace Split
    Dealer does not hit on soft 17
    Good deck penetration.

    That'll be +ev for you..

    The best players are hit and run artists. Mini winning streak....OUT. Mini losing streak.....OUT. The key word is capitalized. If you play for more than 20 minutes, you are probably going down.

    Most online casinos are verified to be fair by independent third party companies, such as iTech and so on.

    There is without a doubt some rogue casino sites out there, but there are many more that are legitimate.

    Anywho, online im up like 4,000 euro on online casino, due to a jackpot bink one of the first times i ever played it.

    Live casino i won 3,000 euro playing three card poker in Malta, paid for the entire holiday + extra stuff

    My brother in law right when he turned 18, put 50-100 online, youwager or bookmaker etc. ended up running it up to 3700. Every single time he hit a new milestone 500,750,1000,1500 etc I kept telling him cash it out, and it just kept going up. And then in the matter of a two hour session he lost it all. 😂

    I had one outstanding run in 2015 playing roulette. Took $500 to 10k in 2 months, starting cashing out $800 ** payouts once a week for another 5 weeks while building it to 25k at my peak. On one Tuesday afternoon I called in sick from work, slept in, and starting playing around noon I lost 19k in a couple hours. Cashed out that remaining 6k over the next couple months and stopped playing in the casino with that account.

    I won just over $15k at Bodog last April getting a straight flush on let'em ride poker. They have the 10% jackpot side bet which was most of the payout.
