Ok..everyone knows how much I hate blackjack now.. see

Blackjack ..free $164 AND risk free

This one you got to read to beleive..

I joined Crazy casino at the same time as the other casino. I was trying out casino whoring just for a change if you remember..

1] There was a $100 bonus match- so I put in $100 and claimed it. You can't withdraw the bonus until you've worked it off BUT you can withdraw any winnings you make at any time(always have to leave to bonus in until you,ve wagered 25x your deposit and bonus = a lot of bj)

2] I discovered from the first casino that blackjack was completely mindless. So in a fit of pique I played a few hands in this new casino. Five minutes later I had $239 in my account (bonus+deposit +winnings).

3] After a little time I thought stuff it and withdrew $139 to make $39 profit..

4]When it hit Neteller. I looked at my casino account which now contained $100 of bonus money. To get this money I would have to wager it 50x - life is too short

5] I went wild.I hiked up the bets to $20.. expecting to blast the bonus into oblivian

6] Four minutes later.. having gone up to $50 bets at one point I looked down at an account which now contained $560...........Because I had been betting so hard I only had 15x the workrate left

7] I groaned a little at the prospect of playing three hours of BJ but set about it

8] Three hours later (working with $2 bets) I'd lost $98.. but still had $462 left AND it was mine!!!

9]Total winnings from BJ = $462+$39 = $501..Only the first bit carried any risk.. four hours work total...

10] just hit the NT account.


Geeze... at this rate I'm going to have to switch games

You think BJ is a mindless game? I think it considers great strat. But I think you got pretty lucky. But all in all great job!

its a mindless game... the is one correct play for each situation

That could be said about poker too though lol.

I could be wrong ShawnE, but I do believe there a a few more circumstances to remember how to play in poker then there are in black jack. Of course, I've never played Blackjack, so I'm not quite sure about that...

... blackjack is all math and thus predictable

poker's not

thus you're wrong

k?

Poker is a game of imperfect information; your job is to decide on the best play, despite the fact that you don't know your opponents' hands. Thus there is not always one correct decision... or at least not one known to you.

However... the notion that games of perfect information are inherently mindless... is crap. Look at chess, perhaps?

in blackjack your opponent is predictable because the dealer has certain rules that he/she must obey. therefore you are only playing the cards and so there is a mathematically correct play in every situation. in poker your opponent makes their own decisions and you need to know how they play in addition to what your hand is to maximize your winnings against them. there is a lot more to poker than just the math (although that matters too...).

if that is true, a lot more variables go into finding the correct decision on poker.

I guess it depends on what you mean mindless. Could a 5 year old kid play flawlessly, unlikely. Does any specific situation take deep thought. No, you already know what to do in every situation. However, keeping track of cards, I don't think thats mindless.
