It seems like most of the decent casino bonus whoring sites I find are very much out of date and not reliable.
I would like to hear if their are any GOOD sites out their that can serve as a guide as I go from casino to casino trying to up my bankroll.
PM me if you want, but otherwise just post the site for everyone to see.
thanks in advance.

I was sent the link www.onlineblackjackguide.com (http://www.onlineblackjackguide.com)

I have been to this site and (so far) it seems to be the best, but I have to think there is something better out there...

pm'ed you... I'm not really one of those "hide the bonus secrets" guys, but at the same time if all the lurkers saw it and did it the bonuses might die. i have heard from other whores that once upon a time WR's were just so so low...

Click on the banner at the top of the screen and go to their casino bonus forums. More casinos than you can shake a stick at, with helpful commentary and updates.

If you go to casinos a-z, you at least have a basis for conducting your own research.

Just for the record, the site that was listed above was the one I PMed him. The forums are especially useful, and I never really used any of the basic site stuff.

I was just looking at this site for the Blackjack strategy at Starluck. It says to hit with 11 when dealer shows 10. I believe you should double down, right.

08-11-2005, 06:30 PM
Yes, according to Sklansky Talks Blackjack, always double with 11 when not counting.

you would double 11 against all upcards if it was a single deck game. in a multiple deck game where the dealer stands on soft 17, although he says the advantage is very small, it would mathematically be correct to NOT double 11 vs. A. this is especially true if the count is negative.

Yes, I see other charts saying to hit 11 vs. A. But it says to hit 11 vs 10. Also to hit 88 and AA vs. A. I'm just really worried that these sites misinfo will cost us lots of money.

the majority of online casino directories I've seen all have incorrect and/or outdated information. the T&C's in this industry change more frequently than in poker and you simply have to do your own homework.

don't worry about others making mistakes and losing money due to their own ignorance. the only person you have to worry about is yourself.

You know, I haven't casino whored for so long that I practically forgot BW has a casino forum. Back when I casino whored there wasn't one so I used the OBG forums. So, in conclusion, I also highly recommend the BW casino forum. The OBG ones may have some info on harder to find casinos, though, as there is a thread for each casino.

The reason you are supposed to hit instead of double on these hands is, with these sites, you do not know if the dealer has blackjack or not, i.e., they do not "peak". Thus you do not want to double, even into a ten, for the chance that you double whilst the dealer has a hidden ace(in the case of the ten showing.) Obviously the same holds true to an even greater extent when the dealer has an ace up.

no, that is incorrect reasoning due to incorrect information provided by OBG.

OBG claims that for both Vegas Strip and Vegas Downtown versions, that all bets including doubles and splits lose to a dealer blackjack checked after the player's hands are finished. however, the T&C's to not seem to agree with this:

"If the dealer has a 10, Jack, Queen or King as the up card it is possible he has a blackjack in which case the player hand will lose except with another blackjack. The dealer will check for blackjack immediately if one is possible and will collect the losing bet immediately if he does have a blackjack."

most people who have played the downloadable version with Vegas Downtown rules i'm sure have noticed that when the dealer shows a ten or ace up, the player may have the option to double, split or surrender, but if the dealer does in fact have blackjack, the hand stops immediately after the player's selection (without actually being carried out) and without spending any additional bets.

therefore I would say there is no reason not to double 11 vs. 10 at any of the *luck blackjack games. if the dealer has blackjack, the double bet is not lost.

Hmm, it must have been some other casinos, but I know I have played on some where they let you play your hand out and then uncover their sometimes hidden blackjack.

doesn't mean they take double and split bets away when that happens. as far as I can tell, the no-peek BJ games on IGM and Playtech use the OBO (Original Bets Only) rule. if you double or split with a ten or ace showing, you get these bets back if the dealer has blackjack.

only game I've seen online with the European No Hole Card (ENHC) rule which takes all bets on a dealer blackjack is the Chartwell single deck software on Eurobet.

What if you split and the dealer has blackjack? Also, what if you split, and then bust both hands (with 8's)? I'm guessing then you would definitely lose both bets. This would make the no-peek more HA than peek because of the possibility that you could lose double your bet when the dealer has blackjack (by splitting and busting) versus your single bet.

so, basically you didn't read and/or understand a thing that I said.

first of all, if you split a pair and bust both hands, of course you lose both bets. that has nothing to do at all with whether or not the dealer has blackjack or not. ENHC basic strategy already dictates that you do not split 8's against a dealer 10 or ace anyway, so your point is moot there. it is correct to split aces against a dealer ten showing, however. presumably the chance of busting two soft hands is low, and especially for single deck, that fact that you have two out of the four aces the dealer needs to have a blackjack in the hole makes splitting the mathematically optimal play.

also, just because the dealer does not peek for blackjack in advance does NOT automatically mean that the player loses bets for splits and doubles if the dealer does have blackjack after the fact. this is what I specified in the rules for OBO (Original Bets Only) which is what the majority of online casinos use. for those few exceptions where ENHC is in effect, simply make the basic strategy adjustments and you find that there are no instances where a player splits or doubles against T or A, EXCEPT for the lone AA vs. T situation.

ENHC has a slightly higher HA than OBO, but not significantly so after the basic strategy adjustments, only about 0.1% worse.

Ahh, the classic tag-team spam. I hope you're both banned.

This site has a long list of bonuses, but it doesn't differentiate at all between honest and dishonest casinos. E.g. it still lists Prism casino, which is well known to be a rogue, and Joyland, which is currently not paying its winners. It also has incorrect information for at least some sites. I didn't spend too much time there, but, for example, it lists VP as allowed for Royal Vegas, when almost half of the VP varieties are not allowed.

So please, KKBluff, take your spam for your site and for referring a friend elsewhere.

Whoah,
First of all I am NOT trying to spam.
I was just trying to find a good site with good bonues.
That is all.

I am in no way related to any of the sites above (including the one I was bragging about).
Sorry if it appeared like spam to you.

On a side note, thank you for making me aware of the rouge casinos listed and that the info they list may or may not be correct and/or up to date.

Chill down, I checked the site and it is better than the other ones often mentioned at this forum. It should be allowed to express that opinion:

Casinobonuspages.com is the best
Casinobonuspages.com is the best
Casinobonuspages.com is the best
Casinobonuspages.com is the best

Well, in this thread (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=3146261&page=0&view=colla psed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1), KKBluff was sell people on his refer-a-friend bonuses. After reading that, I figured that KKBluff started this thread, created a new ID, posted his link, praised his link with his original ID, then thanked himself with the new ID.

KK, if that's not what happened, I'm sorry to falsely accuse you, but it does seem like a plausible series of events.

On second thought, if you're messing around with refer-a-friend bonuses, you're probably not an affiliate.

Arfinn, I wonder if your post will soon read:
