10 more Ways to Beat the Casinos at Online Blackjack. cards counting extra 01.04.2003
 

PREMISE. Although the odds for online black are better than the odds in Atlantic City or Las Vegas, the odds are against you. The house edge varies from a minimum of 0.24% to a max of 1.5% depending on the rules the casino uses. This edge cannot be overcome in online gambling by card counting because all of the online casinos shuffle the deck after each hand. A good way to increase your chances of winning money is to attempt to win the introductory bonus that many online casinos offer. Remember, most casinos will have a minimum wager requirement to cash out the bonus. Don't be scared of the requirement, follow our steps and realize that all bets count toward the requirement, wins and losses.
Example: The Gaming Club: buy $100, get $250 free for a total of $350. The minimum wager requirement is 15x. Therefore, you have to wager a total of $5250 dollars in total bets. The house edge at The Gaming Club from our Strategy Card is 0.24%. $5250 x 0.24 % is $12.60. That is the amount you are predicted to lose if you follow the strategy card. Subtract the $12.60 from the free $250 dollars and you profit by an amazing $238.40. Don't understand?
What's The Catch? These casinos simply don't think you will follow the steps to make money. Either you won't follow the blackjack strategy or you'll try other games with poor odds. Of course, nothing is a sure bet and the methods mentioned here don't guarantee you'll win. We are just saying that you can put the odds more in your favor.

10) Pick a reputable CASINO:
Search online to find casinos that are reputable and have good payment histories.p> 9) Find the best ODDS:
Not all online casinos offer the same versions of blackjack. The odds can be changed dramatically by adjusting a few of the rules in the house's favor (such as dealer hitting on soft 17). These adjustments could totally make or break your session. Make sure you know the rules before you play.

8) Follow blackjack strategy cards:
Strategy cards tell you how to play each hand for every possible blackjack scenario. Strategy cards vary depending on the rules the casino is using. Make sure you use the right strategy card for the casino you are playing.

7) Find the best bonuses:
Bonuses are the reason why people gamble online. The online casinos have to provide high bonuses to draw people in. Most offer at least 100% cash match on your initial purchase. Use caution: some casinos offer big bonuses, but are not reputable or have poor odds. Also, most have wagering requirement to take for you to be eligible for the bonus. Make sure blackjack wagers count towards the requirements.

6) Limit your Losses:
Limit your losses to your initial chip purchase only. Most bonuses only apply to initial bonuses. If you lose your initial deposit, then it is time to move on to a new casino. This method will maximize your overall wins by getting more introductory cash bonuses to play with.

5) Cash-in your Wins:
Know how to take a profit. How many times have you had a friend who was up "a couple of grand" only to come back a little later with nothing? Play until you have fulfilled the wagering requirements for the bonus. If you are still ahead after this, the first cash in should be when you have double your initial deposit (not including the bonus.) Cash in 2/3rds of your money; leave the rest to attempt to win more. Continue to cash in half your money every time you double after that. Once you have no money left to play, take your win and time to go to another casino and enjoy another introductory offer.

4) Wager Small until meeting wager requirements:
By wagering the table minimum bets, you increase your chances of being able to cash in the bonus money. Remember, you need to wager at least 9x's the bonus amount at most of the casinos before you can cash in a bonus (check rules at each casino.) Make sure to check that blackjack counts towards the wager requirements at the particular casino you are playing. By betting small until you meet the water requirements, you increase your odds of being able to cash in the bonus.

3) Know your Banking Options:
Avoid credit card use. Most casinos won't accept them. Credit cards also lead to bad financial habits. Only wager what you can afford to lose. Better options for online banking include Firepay and Neteller. These sites allow you to transfer funds from your bank account , to their site, then to the casino. Many casinos tack on 10% for deposits made via Neteller and Firepay increasing your odds even more.

2) Use your Resources:
Know where to look online for the most complete, honest, insightful, and useful information about online blackjack gambling. Avoid cheesy sites that are solely trying to take the referral fee from you.

1) Kickbacks: Download from Kickbacks Sites:
Online casinos pay websites such as OBG to bring traffic to their sites. OBG earns money every time someone clicks from a link on our site to a casino and then wagers money. OBG takes this money, and returns it to the player in a form of a "kickback". Kickbacks are at least 10% on all losses. The kickback is another way for you to be profitable against the online casinos and increase your chances of winning.

It is important to keep some things in mind when playing 21:

* The dealer has to follow a set of rules regardless of his position. Even if the dealer has a winning hand with a total of 16 he still has to take another card and may bust.
* The way to win is to get a better hand than the dealer. Many players forget this and play solely to get as close to 21 as possible, and end up busting more often than they should.
* The dealer has the advantage in that all players go first. If a player busts first he/she loses even if the dealer busts later in the game.
