I did just deposit $500 at BoDog for the 10% bonus. Evidently I have to wait for the amount to clear before I can wager with it. Sure did clean house earlier today on their play money system...

I have to say "Big Thanks" to you, Bears! I made my initial deposit on BoDog and was confused at first that I had to transfer from "ecash" to casino chips. Once I finally did this, I started wagering my stake plus the $50 bonus. I am currently up $500 and am enjoying myself (obviously!).

Now I only wish I had gotten my account through you on their referral program. I didn't know they had one beforehand. Sorry!

Of the wo software suppliers - best luck at MG.
Although I woulf not play at either without a bonus and most promotions do not allow BJ.

The best BJ game on the net at mainstream casinos is Crypto Single Deck BJ.

This game has an EV of -$2 for every $10,000 bet, factoring in comps. If you play the Wizard of Odds Composite Exception rules it is just about a player positive expectation game.

Only drawback is the minimum $25 bet. But that shouldn't worry you really as it only affects variance and that cuts both ways. Betting bigger tends to generate bigger bonus offers anyway and that is the real name of the game.

I believe there is a positive expectation player single deck game on Boss Media if you can find it. Never played that myself though.

Best casino to play is Intercasino, no doubt imo.

Good, informative post, Mitch. I appreciate it. I have been playing Blackjack at BoDog (RTG) and at River Belle (MG) I have played Atlantic City and Super Fun 21, which I read was a good single-deck game.

Your thoughts?

That name sounds familiar from some old threads I've been reading through here at Casinomeister. Have they had detractors?

Both these casinos are good and safe ones.

Blackjack house edges are very similar so it depends on your software preference, comps and bonuses, you need to work out your EV for your sessions if you are serious about trying to win money over the long term.

At Superfun 21 you are losing nearly 3 times more money to the housedge on every bet compared to BJ, which doesn't sound such 'SUPER FUN' to me.

A word of warning Tailgun, willpower is by far and away the most important factor in deciding whether you come out winning or not. If you know you haven't got good control then you are likely to get into trouble. See KasinoKings posts and visit his website for more info. (I only mention this because you appear to be new to internet gambling and people often get carried away with the chase after what appears to be easy money. It ain't easy mate and the casinos know this!)

Mitch in the other post regarding your winnings in Cryptologic lately you said that you received more than 10.000 in bonuses. Here, you say "Betting bigger tends to generate bigger bonus offers".

As I m not a high roller myself is it easy for you to tell some of the special offers?? I guess you played at Intercasino. Do they offer a special player's club or something like that? What do the special bonuses look like?

Thanks!
