Whats the best betting pattern for online blackjack?

no idea,
I like 1st and 2nd 12 (5er on each), and a .25 chip on zero.

Alex, in case u missed it, the guy asked about BlackJack and you answered Roulette.

Anyways, there is no pattern, its random using 6 decks, so u do the maths.

Dealer will get 20 or 21 alot more often than you.

Search the online casinos for the most favourable games. Just as in real life certain places have less advantage over the player than others, so do a bit of research. As far as i know playing basic strategy should also still minimise the edge the casino has over you. A quick google for BS should give you plenty of results to peruse. This way your money should last longer although of course you will still be a loser in the longrun.

Apart from that the key to making money is when to press your bets. Again a search will give you lots of results. Blackjack is an even money game unlike roulette so if you want to rack up your wins to a good percentage you have to press when you are winning. This does however expose you to more risk but can take advantage of a good streak to boost your bankroll.

As always be wary of anyone who says there is a "system" to beating the house.

If that was intentional it made me laugh!


Playing Blackjack, the best you can achieve is reducing the houseedge to about 0.5% by playing a "perfect" strategy as detailed on those little cards available on ebay etc etc.

Your best bet is hit and run if you are going to play it. If you show a decent profit stop playing!!

In my casino there is one guy that always makes me laugh. He stands back from the blackjack and quite obviously backcounts the shoe as it is in progress. I mean, you can even see the guys lips moving as he follows the count, this is how obvious he is. He'll sit down when the count is good and play one or two hands and as soon as he is in profit, even if it is just a fiver, hell get up from the table and stop playing. So why isnt he barred? Well despite the fact that he is so controlled (albeit in a ridiculous manner) at blackjack he will absolutely do his bollocks at roulette. He wont stop playing, until he is stone broke or we close. The comparison in his playstyle is amazing.

But before i started rambling i was going to say that cashing out ahead is vital. Lots of punters bitch and whine about never winning, but they are the ones who are never satisfied when they have turned their scraggy little fiver into a grand and keep playing. If someone says they never win what they mean is they are too idiotic to stop playing when they are winning.
