Be careful you have the right card. If you use the download version of the games, they have a surrender option and you need the card with the surrender option built in. It's not the standard card and you'll have to go to Wizard of Odds to find it.

Oh yeah, I know this one. I use the WOO site quite often and he has links to quite of bit of strategy cards based on the software as well.

I did starluck yesterday...wagered $753 so far and need to wager $847 before I make a cashout. I lost $40 so far..is this normal or am I using the wrong chart or what? I'm using this chart the one on the right where the dealer hits on soft 17 because that's what it says on the BJ table. If I keep going at this rate I'll make like $5 by the time I can cashout. Better than losing money I guess but I thought I'd make more. BTW, I'm just making $1 bets.

Blackjack has a high variance. You can easily lose your own money doing bonuses like this, but they are still very worthwhile. If the expected value is +$100, sometimes you'll lose $200, sometimes you'll make $300.

It's all variance man. I personally have gone on 3, count em 3, sets of 22 hands in a row lost at BJ on 3 different sites this past week alone. It happens. And 40 halfway through isn't that bad. Lots of people lose their whole deposit.

I finished the Casino On net bonus, i stayed even the whole time ended up $10 over the $400 in the end. When i went to StarLuck, i was doign goof for the first 30mins, then i had no luck at all. 20's were getting busted by 21's etc.. i have also thought these sites are rigged because it would be easy to rig them and extremely profitable, im only trying them out for the bonus. got $200 bonus, lost $100, not too bad. i dont think i want to do the other *luck.

I thought I would give Starluck a shot. I made a deposit and then was lured to my biggest vice; the dice table. I found out craps and roulette do not work towards clearing any bonuses. At any rate, I played BJ for about an hour, up $175. I would start w/ $5 bets and press if I won. If I lost, I'd go back down to $5 bets. I caught a nice run and ended up wagering a little over $1800.
