WTF, you lost $175? That doesn't sound right. Legitimate blackjack games have a variance of 0.

it was practice, Homer. i was using play money and started with $5000 and then an hour later, saw my money down to $4870something! it was unreal! sure, it was play money but what if i was playing with REAL money? also, i was betting $5 because that was the minimum intercasino would let me play (again, using play money).

i got a little angry (i don't know at whom) and was shocked a little because i've NEVER lost that much money in that short a time.

but, since almost everyone is saying how ridiculously easy blackjack whoring is, i've decided i'm gonna give it one last try. i've already deposited $200 (real money this time) at Casino On Net and i got the 100% sticky bonus so now my money is $400. i'm gonna play NON-STOP - 6-8 hours straight - today and decide whether blackjack winning relies entirely on luck OR there is some way you can do to help you win more (like following the strategy guides).
