Whats the secret behind BJ?

[free4all]

I've browsed the forum for some time and I can see that many of you are making
profits on playing BJ, and I dont mean bonus abusing

how? When I play BJ after the right chart to the BJ game I am playing, I always win 50/50

so if I start out on 400$ I will always stay from 380-420$
and thats it, I saw some of you could get it up to 2000$ and maybe more.

thats crazy, whats the secret? how do you do it?

by the way, I make 3$ bets all the time (when playing 400$) is that to much or small?

Bigger bets = bigger wins. (Also = bigger losses, but hey, that's gambling).

bet one hand all in with $400 and you get blackjack.
now you have $1000.

bet one hand all in with $1000 and you get blackjack.
now you have $2500.

you can win $2100 just two hand play.

Odds are better you'll have 20, while the dealer has pair of 8's and draws a 5.

Don't most online casino's these days shuffle before each deal? I would think that this eliminates any card counting advantage.

I have bet a lot on the horses online, but am relatively new to casino play, so I could be wrong.

Brilliant! Why didn't I think of that???

I'm going to do that every time I play Blackjack from now on!

I suspect they do. Wouldn't want players to have any advantage now, would we?

First of all you need to find a decent casino. I would suggest Global Player, most MG casinos, Boss Media casinos, can be ok but streaky.
Stay away from RTG and Gaming Federation.

Select the best type of game for your play: Vegas , Reno , European etc. Stay away from double exposure or bonus games. Adhere to basic strategy with no exception.

Set some betting rules and stick by them.
It can be debated all day, but here are some of mine:

1. Stop if you lose 5 hands straight, give it a rest and come back later in the day.
2. Start with bets that are no more than 1/20 of your sessions amount.
3. Set thresholds for raising bets as you go up not down. IE you start with a
$100 with $5 bets if you reach $120 go for $10 bets unless you fall below a bottom threshold such as $80. If you reach the bottom stop for a break.
4. This will be debated but I also set thresholds for winnings for sessions, such stopping the session if I am 50% or 100% ahead. I will come back later in the day and start fresh.
5. Cash out to protect your initial stake when applicable.


I am not sure that all is random and some casino "fuzzy logic" is not the best.


BJ on line maybe streaky so be prepared for good days and bad and try to limit your bad. I am a small stakes player and biggest cashout has been +$800 and typical loss is usually no more than $100. Take advantage of free bonus that will not prevent you from withdrawing your winnings or initial amounts from orginal stake. IE a few MG will give me $20 free for 4 weeks if I deposit and bet a $100 prior. Cashout winnings or initial stake and you have free bonus that can be played with. Though $20 stakes are hard to buildup I probably end up 1 of 4 cashing out these free amounts at +$80 and will deduct $20 if WR not fulfilled.



Good Luck

Make a constant profit playing Black Jack without using bonus: it's impossible IMO!!
You can't count cards, the dealer always has an advantage: math is against you...all the strategies of increasing and decreasing the bet are based on discovering when it's the moment the winning strike is coming, and even if you know very well the software it's very hard to be found (almost a myth).
You have just 2 ways of making money with black jack IMO:
-gamble very hard being very lucky
-bonus abusing

Aaaah - the mysteries of gambling!

Ask yourself this: In all your sessions of Blackjack, how often are you ahead at some point?
Chances are, at least 8 out of 10 times, right?
The only reason you end up losing is because you carry on playing.
So the trick is to stop when you're ahead (even if it's only a little profit), go and play another game, or at another casino, and come back later.

Theoretically by doing this you will make a profit. But you do need will power.
(Of course, you also need to play at a casino with a fair game).

What really screws peoples brains is this: What is the difference between leaving the table & coming back later, and just carrying on?
I don't know.
... Well I did say it's a mystery!
