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).

Based on your posts, you still seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of this game, and I encourage you NOT to play it. Blackjack IS NOT a beatable game. The only reason why people can make money at it is because some casinos will give you a bonus, and you won't lose the entire bonus while playing out the wagering requirements (but you will lose some of it). Playing completely proper strategy in online blackjack will still leave the house with an edge of at least .5%, and possibly as much as 2 % depending on the rules. You seem to think that you can beat the game. You cannot. I strongly encourage you not to do this, I almost guarantee you will bust.
