Well blackjack is made to favour the house. The only way to improve your odds is to pick up on card counting. You'll have to research card counting because I do not really know much about it. Even with card counting I am not sure if your odds exceed the house or not.

When you are in a casino it is NOT illegal to card count. But the casino can ask you to leave there property because they don’t want you to have an edge. So if you do card count don’t make it look to obvious.

A Full Tilt pro...I forget her name...married to David Benyamine I think. She used to play blackjack as a pro.

Also I wouldn't play it on the internet.

Yes indeed she's a blackjack pro " Erica Schoenberg" but personally I think playing this game on the internet needs a lot of luck

Yeah that's her.

In a casino, they keep using the same deck without shuffling I believe, but online I'm not sure. Which would make card counting online impossible right?

If they did use the same deck online, it would be great because you could just take note of what cards are used

Yes. what you have to realize is that the house has the advantage over the long run. So if you put the same bet out everytime you will lose your money. You cannot play scared and just vary your bet. Feel the rushes and just try to make fundamentally sound moves. They will work out most of the time. Just realize the more decks the harder it is to play becasue there are more cards and you cant really "count them". Not like actually counting them but you get a feel for whats coming next sometimes. It is wierd.
