Default I\'m a winning blackjack player!

Last week I completed about $50,000 of play-through at two casinos, playing mostly $10 blackjack.

Using Homer's confidence calculator, and inputing my data from those sessions (5000 hands, average .40/hand, SD = $10), I was able to calculate, with a better than 99.5% confidence, that I'm a winning blackjack player.

I'm very excited about my new-found blackjack prowess, and can't wait to start making a living as a professional.

I figure it's not that I'm such a great blackjack player, it's just that those online casino dealers really are that bad.

Moral of the story: if you can't make at least 4 bets/100 playing $10 blackjack, you must be a moron.

Why not just practice winning roulette? I think the payout would be much bigger. The professional roulette players make way more than professional blackjack players. Go out a pick up a book on which numbers come up more often. I'm sure someone in these forums woudl be willing to sell you a pattern mapper. Congrats on your blackjack preformance so far. Good luck.

I bet you think you are being pretty clever with your sarcasm. Really though, you just look even more retarded. Blackjack is very beatable, and just because you can't do it, doesn't mean nobody can.

Be care when you call people retarded. Online blackjack is NOT beatable*.


*unless, of course, you include casino bonuses, comps etc as part of your winnings. In this case roulette can be beatable as well.

Somehow I doubt that was the thinking behind that response.

All jokes aside, if you did the calculations correctly, and it said you were a winning blackjack player online, that would be very surprising.

Only way that you can be a "winning player" in blackjack is if you count cards. This is impossible on on-line play because most of the software reshuffles every hand.

Since the house edge on blackjack when played perfectly is fairly small, you can make a profit taking advantage of the promotions/bonuses.

To make a statement such as "I am a winning blackjack player" is simply... well... ignorant.

Buster,

Blackjack, like every other casino game, is not beatable. The house will always win as far as gameplay is concerned. There is a reason why a casino will not (usually) object to your use of a card with bj strategy on it. Counting cards is what gives you an edge over the house; that is why the house does not 'allow' it. As it has been said several times in this post already, you can't count cards in online blackjack. Therefore, you cannot beat online blackjack from a gameplay standpoint. You can be lucky and make money on it in the short term, and you can overcome the house edge with the continual bonuses. But without counting cards or bonuses, the house will win and you will lose. Period.

I know this post is a joke, but in fact, it's correct. A winning roulette player wipes the floor with a winning blackjack player.
