Blackjack Ballroom

[DealerBusts]

The probability of 2 consecutive blackjacks is about 1 in 450, so it is not such a rare event. The probability of getting BJ on both hands in multi-hand BJ is about the same, and you are not complaining about that!
I have had 4 blackjacks in a row once (and still lost my shirt in the end).

3 and 4 in a row for me too. Is online play streaky? i dunno.

I know. That's why it will never happen to me with such a big bet. I am too cheap on this... LOL~

No need to bow down... The win only gave me an incentive to play more which resulted in big losses. Remember, there are always two sides to everything.

If you started out with a bankroll of $750 and got to over 10,000....but say it resulted in big losses.....how much did you end up with in total winning or losing therer? I can't imagine you got it up to over 10,000 and lost all of it)(or even more than that). You must have ended with a quite a good profit, eh?

I actually cashed out after that win. I think I started with a $750 bankroll to achieve that.
I wouldn't have bet the $500 on two hands if I wasn't ahead by so much. That big win is almost worthless since in the last few days I have lost about half of that if not more, and I actually took my time and played for a few hours instead of trying to be greedy

Doesn't matter whether you take your time and bet small or go for it with big bets. The house advantage is going to get you in the end. Sounds to me like you're still up so there should be no complaints. With BJ, you're going to finish about even if you bet sensibly. Your good sessions are going to be balanced by the inevitable bad sessions.

Oh I definately know the house odds and such. That's why I try to do my research before I play, and I definately don't expect to win all the time. The reason for my posts were to expressing my disappointment and to see if anyone else has experienced the same with either this online casino or another one they have played at.
Also, of all the winning cash outs I have had since I have played online (almost a month) I might be ahead around $3,000, but probably less.
Overall I guess it's a positive thing, however I didnt expect all the winnings to go so quickly. I also assumed my luck and chances would improve since I have only been playing against the dealers and not as if someone was sitting next to me and not hitting when they should, etc...

You do realize, I hope, that a neighbor's bad play does not effect your "luck" at all. You may want to do a little more research on this - there's no reason to assume that just playing against the dealer will improve your chances.

Personally, I think Microgaming is Microgaming and you will find the same kind of streaks at any Micro. I doubt if there is anything special about Blackjack Ballroom in particular. Obviously you are a pretty big better who likes to "go for it" so, hop on, and enjoy the ride. Hope you don't get sick.

Overall, I just don't want you to be fooled that your early success will continue indefinitely. Just be careful out there and don't bet more than you can afford to lose. Keep us posted and real good luck to you.

PS - Nice going on that multi-hand BJ you had your big win on but I think it is among the worst Micro BJ games to play. 5D, D9, No DAS and a very high HA. Also, it's one of those games that you will not get the correct Basic Strategy or HA from the blackjackinfo.com website due to the re-hit split aces rule.
