So I deposited $100 at Starluck and played blackjack 3 hands at a time for $2 each. I played for 1.5 hours before I busted out. Had roughly $250 left to bet before I cleared my bonus. It was the first time played I blackjack really and was playing strictly by the book. I'm not sure if I missed anything or I'm doing anything wrong, I was hoping that playing by the chart would work.

I guess try Planetluck Casino next, hopefully my luck changes.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My "adventure" so far:

StarLuck Casino = ($100.00)
PlanetLuck Casino = $167.00
Bet365 Casino = $70
William Hill Casino = ($42.00)
VIP Casino = ($2.00)
InterCasino = $50.00

Total Profit = $143.00 $8.88/hr

just play one hand at a time. Lower variance and it does not take that much more time.

One question, when the dealer shows an A are you suppose to take insurance? I wasn't sure about that and I never did.

^^^Thanks for reply, good to know I was playing right.

I had better luck at Planet Luck. I deposited $100 and took out $267. I played one hand at a time at $2 hand and it took just under 2 hours to clear it. So now I'm up $67 in 3 and a half hours in my first two casinos.

Still not going too well. I'm still up overall but only$94 after 5 casinos. Goddam Pontoon raped me at William Hill and VIP.

I'll keep at it and hopefully my luck changes. Gonna stick to the $2 bets playing by the book.

With your low roll it may be better to play BJ only. When you get used to it you'll make fewer mistakes.

Pontoon has much higher variance so if you're playing $2 per hand BJ maybe you should paly $1 per hand pontoon. But then it takes a lot more time so I just play BJ instead unless there is autoplay....

I went back to BJ on my 6th casino, InterCasino. Didn't bust but lost $50 playing for only a $50 profit. How would I make mistakes? I'm playing strictly by the chart and sticking to $2 bets.
