      I've busted fast every time I've played this - I'm quite curious about how some people manage to make it up to 4000-5000, which is +20-25 bets! I've never even reached 2000 lol.

        I always martingale starting at 25 going up to 200 and once there bet 200 the rest of the way. Always end up going bust but love just to play and laugh about it. Hope someone on this forum gets number one spot soon

          whats really mind boggling is when someone has 4800 points and still has 20 hands to play!!!

            I go bust quickly. I wish they'd let you know how many hands you have left.

              If you go back to the main page where it shows your initial entry (where you click play now) it shows you how many hands you have remaining.

              it doesn't show you on the actual table screen though.

                I guess since I had the casino turned off I am not allowed to play in the BJ tournies any more. No big deal, before the merger I won a few times. since the merger I havent sniffed the leaderboard.

                  you have to double up every hand that is anywhere close. i got up to 5100 with 9 hands remaning then lost my last 4 and finished out of money by 1

                    I won the 500 dollar freeplay in early September...

                    And the best idea is bet max from the start....I thought that was common sense..... and oh ya, double anytime you have 9 vs 8, 10 vs 9,8-11 vs 6-2.... etc etc.....you can't just play standard and expect to get to 5000

                          I thought they were being generous for the holidays. Turns out it's the opposite.

                          The free Monday blackjack tournament is gone. In its place is this, and this is not free. I never deposited. I just had my balance transferred over from BetJam, and never had to deposit because I'm actually up a few hundred there.

                          Not only do I not get a free entry, it does not even allow me to buy an entry. It just shows the existing tournament, but does not allow me to enter. Oh well.

                            that really is odd because the rules for this tournament are the exact same from the Monday Night Football one.
                            The rules for the Monday Night Football one said you had to make a deposit in order to have a free entry as well.

                            You should def. be able to purchase an entry into the tournament..I'd inquire if you want to enter it Tuesday-Friday.

                                if you get dealt a 7-8-9 it's inevitable that the dealer is going to have one higher than you.

                                the one week that I actually placed in this, the dealer almost always seemed to have 4-5-6 as a starting card and busted..many hands in a row

                                very very very challenging. in order to have any chance you basically have to double down on any hand it makes sense with and just cross your fingers. this weeks leader has 6100 which means he only lost about 10 hands out of 50 betting a max 200(not even counting pushes into the equation)

                                  In the past I just played basic strategy. Tonight, I did the more aggressive doubling down (dd against 4,5,6 as long as you have 8 or better, or any soft hand aside from AA) and splitting (only had one chance to really split against a weak dealer card, though).

                                  Heritage was very nice and gave me two entries because of what happened.

                                  First one: busted out in 29 hands
                                  second: busted out in 9

                                  oh well.

                                          he is placing in these things left and right.. tell us the secret Brian

                                          I think in my original post for this thread, one week the dealer got blackjack literally 4-5 hands in a row...lol

                                            Played both entries today. Again nowhere close.

                                            12/26 - played both
                                            12/27 - played both
                                            12/28 - played 1
                                            12-29 - played both

                                            That's 7 of a possible 8. No finishes over 2000, I believe.

                                            IIRC, the 26th and 27th ones busted out, and one of them busted within 10 hands, heh.

                                                Just plain luck, cloverfield. And its basic common sense strategy of playing max evrry hand unless your in first and try to double on any marginal opportunity

                                                  Got close to 4,000 today before the dealer started with the low cards on doubling downs. Still finished with 2800, which I believe is my new high.

                                                  Didn't bust out in either one! Impressive. Still so far away from the leaderboard, though.

                                                      I've taken a few of the smaller prizes.You obviously have to hit a hot streak and toss out normal strategy. I double on 10 against a face card etc.

                                                        got like 4-5 winning hands in a row, I was stomping the dealer.....
                                                        then reality struck and the dealer got 19-20 about 7 hands in a row

                                                        I was dealt a 4-6 card almost each time and would bust when hitting. I got pretty much torched every day this week that they had the contest...dealer seems to tease you by letting you win a couple in a row and then you flat out get dealt crap!
