Why is playing blackjack at a casino a bad idea?
Are you trying to discourage a friend from playing Blackjack? I will imagine you’re.So listen here, pal, playing Blackjack is a real bad idea and let me tell you why. It’s a gambling game which is simple to understand but hard to master. Even playing with a basic strategy guide on your phone you will have some hard time making difficult decisions on the table. When your money is at stake you may feel the sweat of hitting for another card. The chance to bust and go over 21 or for the dealer to beat you is there at each hand and your moves can help you win or lose.In other words, that’s excitement and stress you don’t need. Moreso, you make the difficult decisions first and the dealer plays second. This gives the casino the advantage of allowing you to make mistakes when you play and bust - taking your money before the dealer has to draw any cards to bust himself.So you’re playing from a disadvantage at each turn and you’re relying on luck even if you’re very skilled.So what did we learn here? That casino games are made to give the house profit and your luck is very important in playing the game. So many people who have never gambled are quick to point out and feel smug. In fact for most gamblers that’s like saying the sky is blue. That should be basic knowledge for anyone contemplating to gamble his or her money. The thrill of gambling is there because you can lose your money.I have played poker without betting money and it was the dullest game ever. And even in strip poker you bet something so that’s not a counter-argument :)
Which casino table game is easier to win? BlackJack? Poker? Craps?
You have a misunderstanding about how these games work. These games all have set rules. The dealer can not be so highly trained that he has a BETTER chance of beating you than any lesser trained dealer. Every dealer must follow the rules of the game. Each time you play a casino game, you will either get LUCKY and win some money, or you will more likely be UNLUCKY and lose. The dealer is irrelevant. They must follow the rules of each game. If you're going to play anything, I'd suggest you play roulette.
Can I make money playing blackjack?
Can I make money playing blackjack? I think with practice and skill at certain casinos you can make $25 to $50 US per hour, assuming you have a bankroll of several thousand dollars. Playing is dull, repetitive and very stressful. If you attempt to make more money, you will become more and more visible to the casinos who will either eject you, or shuffle after every hand taking away your advantage.I’m afraid this ship has sailed a long time ago.
Lost $450 playing with blackjack Today?
The house edge in blackjack comes from the dealer acting after the player. This represents an enormous edge for the casino, at around 7%, it is negated heavily, and almost eleminated by the players abibilty to split, double down, and get payed 3:2 for blackjacks. The average player plays blackjack with a 4% or more disadvantage because... THEY FAIL TO SPLIT OR DOUBLE DOWN when it is very beneficial to them Then ontop of that, many players split or double down when it is NOT beneficial tot hem further increasing the house edge. To put that into perspective, after playing 100 hands of blackjack at 15/hand, you woudl be expecting to lose 60 dollars, then consider that when playing computerised blackjack, the dealer could probibly deal you 300 hands per hour, after 300 hands you woudl be expecting to lose 180 dollars, so in two hours it would not be at all unlikely to have lost that much money more or less.

It is totally possible, it is only somewhat unlikely, infact its actually not very unlikely at all and it will happen quite often, sometimes you win 20 hands in a row, sometimes the dealer, sometimes you get all the blackjacks sometimes the dealer. Winning and losing is part of the game, and their is now specific ORDER in which the wins and loses are destined to come. It is far less common to end a playing session ahead or behind only a few betting units.
What's a casino table game better then Blackjack?
Every casino game is mostly luck. The only games where you can override short term luck with long term skill are poker, blackjack and craps. So if you want to play a game at a casino that involves no luck, maybe you should stay in your hotel room and play chess. Statistically, the next best game to craps and blackjack is Baccarat. The house edge is relatively small and it's an incredibly simple game. You simply choose whether to bet on the house (the best bet), the player, or the tie (which you should never do). Then the dealer deals the cards and take your money or pays you. No skill, and no other decisions to make. My favorite other game is Pai Gow Poker. The dealer deals you 7 cards, which you seperate into one 5 card poker hand and one two card poker hand. Also, the 5 card hand must be better than the 2 card hand (i.e. if you have a pair of aces and a pair of kings, the aces MUST go in the 5 card hand). The dealer deals themselves 7 cards as well, and after all of the players have made their hands, he turns over his cards and separates them into two hands. If both of your hands beat both of his hands you win. If both of his hands beat both of yours, you lose. If you win one hand a lose one, it's a tie, and you keep your money. This games involves a little decision making (but not much) and is a slow moving game because of all the pushes, so you don't lose your money too fast like some games. Good luck and have fun.
Has anyone really won money playing Blackjack?
it can be done, but blackjack isn't really a big win situation. if you hit a lucky streak, you may clean up on one night, and loose it all the next night. when i play, i play mostly for fun. if i break even, i consider that a great night. if i win, thats a bonus. most of the time, if i play smart and have a little luck, i will break even or come out a little ahead. my best night was about 5 yrs ago, (it was my last trip to the casino), i covered all my expenses for the weekend and came home $1000.00 up. in other words, i won a total of app. 1700.00 from a starting stake of $500.00.
