I'm used to playing in casinos. Where can you make 1$ bets? Some kind of online thing?

start out at 25 per bet and work your way up until you're putting down 3-400 a hand. Starts coming in REAL quick on a good shoe.

Then again just last weekend I had 300 on the table - dealt 8s vs a dealer 6 (sweet I'm thinking), split....dealt 3 on each 8, double on both. Had 19 and 20 with 1200 on the table.

Dealer turned over a 5. Then a king. ouch.

LOL right

and I'm sure you think the casinos are non-profits? or they just like donating to you? you will lose it all if you don't run, as said before

If you play by the book, it's one of the few games where the odds are in your favor.

Even if you loose or just break even, if you do it right you can play all night and have a good time for under $100. I play the $5 single deck tables, and when I'm doing well I'll throw a few $25 chips out there, and suddenly you've made a few hundred bucks, and if you start loosing just start playing small beans again and stretch it out...

I only left with a couple hundred more than I came in with, but with a little study and just plain old asking the dealer "what does the book say?" you can play for a long time.

Yes that's true but most casinos (especially online ones) have little rule changes that turn the odds against you even when playing strictly by the book. There is no casino in which BlackJack is in your favor. They simply wouldn't create a game in which the odds are against them...

And that's the thing. You have to double/split on things that don't really make sense (like splitting twos against a three)...but if you don't you give the advantage back to the house.

I've actually wanted to start to learn how to count cards. That could really help out. I think there is a basic one out there to predict if the shoe is face rich or not (and you adjust accordingly if it does)

for now I just play straight by the book, because I know the rules at our local casino.

-edit- what I mean is the house has a slight advantage, but counting can turn it to where you actually do have the advantage.

Even with perfect strategy the house still has an advantage, it's just a fraction of a percent. There are not any games in the casino in which the player has positive EV.

 

[spidey07]

I edited. Didn't think I was making it clear enough.

 

[RaynorWolfcastle]

House always has the advantage, it's just small in blackjack. You may win on the short term, but that's strictly attributable to variance.

What are the By the Book Rules? I know the basics like standing on dealers 5 or 6, but my basic rules didn't seem to help me a month ago when I lost $60

If you want more than that, go buy a book and memorize betting tables!

Actually Single deck Blackjack can have have odds "slightly" in your favor if you play by the book... (and find the right table)

Single Deck Blackjack
Dealer Hits Soft 17,
surrender allowed
Odds in Player Favor: 0.11 %

Link

but as a general rule you are correct. Blackjack just has the best odds of you playing all night without loosing your ass.

 

[Lonyo]

Take out $500 and use the $100 left to play with and see if you can make any more
When your down to $50, leave it in there for another day.

I have a FOOLPROOF plan and it has worked for me. But you need a table with a LARGE limit and you need a VERY LARGE bankroll. You just bet $1, everytime you lose, you double your previous bet. You will NOT lose this way. But you gotta have big balls to be betting $512 and even more when you have to double that to $1024 if you get on a bad roll.

But it is nontheless a guarentee.

 

[FFactory0x]

I did. Playing with $100 now. Every 25-50 i make ill take that out.

Don't know if the sarcasm meter is broken...but that's why tables have max bets. You'll still lose in the long run.

No, poker has the best odds because it's a skill-based game where you're playing against other players, not the casino (save for the rake, which you should have no problem outperforming if you're good)
