Mathematicians tell us if you play blackjack with "perfect strategy", as shown Basic Perfect BlackJack Strategy, blackjack has a probability close to 52-48, say 52% for the house, 48% for the player.

Now if you go to luckynugget.com, purchase $100 bets, they will credit you $110 as promotion. They require to bet at least $400 before cashing out. So, if you play with small hands, like $20 per round, in theory, you would lose $400*(52%-48%)=$16. There's $100 (purchase) + $110 (free bet) - $16(loss)= $194. Your profit is about $94.

its true.
However, if they bust you, they freeze your account and since you opened it up in another country anyhow, your SOL.

Of course this ignores the fact that people have emotions. Sometimes their emotions lead them to do irrational things. The Casinos (sp?) are counting on this! Just maybe they have Black Jack tables to get those that are a bit smarter to come in and try a logical approach?

I did a gambling hot deal once (online). They gave you $50 but you had to gamble it all. $0 invested. So I hit the roulette table. I got up to $300 but cashed out at $250. Check came a week later.

That has been my only involvement with gambling. Black Jack is tempting but if you want to see how good you are go play the Yahoo games online version. If you can follow the strategy maybe it will work... But can you handle your emotions when the chance of a huge win appears and all it takes to possible win is to diverge from the strategy just a tiny bit?

Personally I don't think I'll be gambling any time soon...

it's too easy for an online casino to skew the odds, since they aren't using 'real' cards, nothing is forcing them to truly randomize what the computer gets.

I'd agree with Beast 1284 and stick with the stock market. The stock market isn't doing all that bad, you just gotta pick the right stocks ;)

Yeah, that's a $110 extra, $10 for signup, free bets matching up to $100 purchase.

I tried yahoo blackjack with that theory. It turned $3000 to $35000 in an hour. But that's not real money. :)
