I believe them Identity. It's not only about basic strategies, it's also about a pretty good memory,timing of and taking advantage when odds are in your favor based on previously played hands.Also has something to do with getting used to a particular casino's software.Believe me, many differ in gameplay and frequent patterns when it comes to, for example, you or the dealer winning or losing so many hands in a row. Some will hit streaks when you win one/lose one for a few hands, and then change to an example used above.......
Identity, its a pretty indepth card system that varies from casino to casino. If you play long enough you pick up on certain tendencies at each casino and adjust your play accordingly. I prefer to only play at casinos that allow surrender and casinos that give you 10% back on your losses just in case a bad day does come. As far as the wagering part of the system goes Ive found that $100-$500 tables work best for results that make the time and energy worthwhile, but only at casinos that have been perceived to be fair, especially in this betting range. Now comes the patience and discipline part where I predetermine how much I want to win and get out at that point. In most cases ive also eliminated the "greed" factor by only trying to win 200 for that session and then play again hours later at either that same casino or a different one. I usually have one session in the morning,one in the afternoon and one at night. Most of the time you can achieve a reasonable profit in the beginning of the session as it seems the casino tries to lure you in to believing you can make a killing. By getting out early with a predetermined win amount you can avoid alot of the up and down struggles that will occur the longer you play. If it does turn into a struggle I will keep the wagers at the minimum 100 until I start winning and then systematically raise each bet as each win occurs on this run but never raising so much that if I lose the last hand on this run ive ended up making nothing. If this run hasnt resulted in making the predetermined win amount for this session then I go right back to the minimum 100 wager and start again. If I get too far away from the predetermined goal then I might adjust the minimum wager and in some rare instances chase losing hands. Some people might quit once theyve fallen down to a certain point and then come back later and play, which is most likely a good idea, but I tend to grind it out no matter how long it takes or how much of a balance is at stake. Perhaps this is the one area where I am flawed as I can have 3 weeks of decent winnings and one day of a disaster.
gshark,
I was going to guess that chasing was part of your system because that seemed to be the only way to explain the long winning streak followed by the disaster day. You appear to be confirming this by describing your system tendencies and habits. My recommendation for you would be to take your winnings to date, and put them in a safe place. Also I wouldn't quit your day job either. You also should try to find a new system because all systems involving chasing eventually catch up to you. This is no different than doubling up on or against baseball teams on winning or losing streaks. I wish you luck and hope your winning ways continue ,but I also caution you as to potential flaws in your seemingly successful system.
everyone else,
I don't recommend any of you to try this at home.

There is no such thing as a 'difficulty' setting in blackjack. There are rule variations regarding insurance, doubling down, etc.
To actually RIG a game, the software would have to either look at your cards and purposely deal itself better cards (i.e. not really deal randomly from the deck) or just have some setting to give the dealer 'blackjack' an extra 1 percent of the time.
The point is that if the cards are dealt randomly (computer can reshuffle 6-deck shoe deck in less than 1 second). Heck, a computer could use a 20-deck shoe.
The player can't win in the long run.

Java, there has even been a casino manager that frequented TheRx that has admitted to so. Just because it's "random" doesnt mean there arent different difficulty settings....
Heck, home playstation/video games have different difficulty settings, why in the world wouldnt software such as these where major money is involved. If they were dependent on "randomness" all of the time, it's not hard to figure that one bad week or month vs. numerous players could really put a damaging blow to a book/casino.......

Let me try this from a different angle...
The software can be rigged. I was referring to your earlier use of the term "casino difficulty level". Cheating would more be a matter of stacking the deck (or dealing fairly, but then occasionally suppressing a card).
The one thing missng from all these forum discussions is someone identifying to a particular software program a that is in widespread use. If such features existed, then the software company would have to "whisper" this as a selling point. Someone would have posted a screen snapshot of the cheating screen.
I'm sure cheating exists, but I doubt it is in the widely distributed software, or the industry watchdogs would find out.
General, is there any popular software company that sells casino software with a "cheat feature" that you've heard of?

Let's say you take 1024 people, and each one is allowed to press a button that will produce 10 fair coin flips.
Probability theory indicates that on average one person will get 10 heads and another person will get 10 tails. 10 people will get 9 heads and 1 tail, while another 10 people will get 9 tails and one head.
These people will probably swear the coin flipping is rigged, but they would be wrong.
Casino can be rigged, but to say all of them are is ridiculous, since there would be far too much evidence naming specific companies.

Not all of them are rigged. I know for a fact that WSEX Casino just shuffles a deck and deals. There are no adjustments. If there were it would be a fraud.
Bottom line, you trust the people you are dealing with or you don't. You are dealing with hinest people or you are not.
Just because something can be rigged doesn't mean it is.

It seems fairly obvious that there is very few positive comments in these online casino threads because there are very few winners. And even closed minded people still dont believe you can win even when you explain things in detail. Im sure damian dunlap wouldnt mind being called an idiot for playing online casinos while being up over 18,000 in 20 days,nor would I mind being called one either,being up 5,231 for the month of july. I dont know of any day jobs that pay that much but I have known some women that can take that much, paula would my money be safe with you?
Paula, if you have any non-personal investment ideas let me know at headcasemagnet@aol.com
