Do you like playing online blackjack?

Hi everyone,

Just wondering what's everyone thought on BJ online...sure it's a nice way to clear bonuses from various casino but it's boring as hell...maybe I should bet more than 1$, lol but I'm afraid of the risk...

Read about risk of ruin (busting) and decide what is right for you.

If the casino offers autoplay blackjack, utilize it.

Thanks nice site. 100 hands to go and so far my profit is 76$ in about 3 hours...not bad at all, it's not slow when you look at the clock it's just very boring. I'm not counting the double and split as double wager as it's a kinda of way of forcing to play a little more than required so that it doesn't look as I'm whoring only...could be useful if they have nice reload.

Well done at Casino-o-net...wagered $500 after depositing my initial $50. Total profit 69$ (including bonus).

I wouldn't do this. You need to at least keep track of it because there are going to be times that you finish down and don't want to do any unnecessary cover play (only do cover play when you are up). And even then, there are some casinos where you pretty much definitely don't need to do cover play (Starluck, Planetluck, CoN). Also, you are playing more than 1 hand at once, right?

mmmh no I wasn't playing more than 1 hand at once, lol...

How long does it usually take for them to take the money from your bank account? Right now it's strange, they have allowed me to play gave me my bonus and from what I can tell I could cash out and they still didn't take their $50.

Yeah 1 hand at once at $1 a bet sounds pretty slow. As for how long it will take, that depends on the site, which site are you playing on now?

casino-o-net, just figured they wouldn't let me play until the transfert cleared but then they have the big end of the bat I guess...if it doesn't clear I can't cash out, lol.

Question though, wouldn't playing more than 1 hand at a time affect my odds a little (positively and negatively depending on the situation) as more cards aren't in the deck when I could need them.

No... First, Casino on the Net, and most online casinos shuffle every hand making card counting impossible. Second, like you said, it would effect your odds positively and negatively equally, meaning it wouldn't. Its like saying that having more players at a B&M blacjack table somehow affects the odds of each player, it doesn't.
As for cashins, Casino on the net in my experience is lightning quick to buy in, but takes forever and a day to cashout from (I think it took me like 2-3 weeks to get my money).
