Default online blackjack

I am interested to see what "sophisticated" gamblers think of online bjack. My experience has been very bad. My losses always come after I make a good score betting sports (a few thousand a day, etc)...and afterwards taking a shot (with a few hundred or so) with the online bjack. Since I have made a small profit with sports, I can tolerate the small bjack losses, although it is very annoying to throw money away. I play perfect strategy at a small disadvantage (should be around 1%?) It seems to easy to fix the cards, so, I have decided to no longer play. And the disadvantage makes the decision that much easier.

Thanks.

I play online blackjack if there's a bonus that makes it +EV. Without one, I have no interest.

In my somewhat limited experience, the decks don't seem to be fixed. I've bonuswhored at five online casinos, and cashed out with more money than i started on four of them.

He's actually saying he never plays with his money at all unless there is a bonus.

The huge majority of players on this forum are poker orientated, and you have to brace yourself for a lot of critisism for playing a game where you will, eventually, lose your money.

I think it is better for you if you continue to believe that the games are not fair, certainly you only have the site's word for it.

If you are still intent on playing after this warning, you should check out all the Price Waterhouse Coopers reports at all the sites that interest you and find which has the highest blackjack return.

You should then email PWC to confirm that the report of the site you intend to play is authentic and you will then be playing the least unfavorable game.

If you wish to earn a little from the game, you might wish to search blackjack,whoring (A term used by bonus hunters) , bonus, and combinations of similar words, and look for posts by Homer J. Simpson (sorry to anyone else who has made excellent posts on this subject) to see if your bonus is worthwhile.
