Question by george: How do you win at Blackjack when the casino is using a 6 deck shoe? What is a safe website to practice online?

Best answer:

Answer by pdq
You don’t win at Blackjack no matter how many decks are in a shoe – not unless you are an expert card counter, and even then it’s very difficult to make lots of money. Blackjack was designed to give the house the advantage no matter how many decks there are. Card counters can bring the over-all edge to their favor, but only by the slightest margin.

There are tons of websites that you can play for fake money. Do some searches and you’ll find a bunch. I wouldn’t call it “practice”, though. You either know how to play perfect Basic Strategy, or you don’t. I suppose if you don’t know perfect Basic Strategy, then it would be good to practice this until you’ve memorized all the right times to Stand/Hit/Double/Split/Surrender.

If you don’t know what I mean by “Basic Strategy”, research it on-line. You’ll find many sites that give you the Basic Strategy guides. Especially check out the Wizard of Odds site. (Search for it.)

Just remember that even when you’re playing PERFECT Basic Strategy, the odds are still in the House’s favor. Bottom line – if you think you’re going to MAKE money playing blackjack, you are a fool who will soon be parted with his money. You WILL win sometimes, but in the long run, the casino will always have your money.

Question by Joseph A: Does any one know an online site that lets you play free blackjack (blackjack for practice) with 6 decks?
I’m looking to practice in blackjack but all I can find online for free is single deck games. All the casinos in my area are 6 deck and the odds drop a lot in a six deck game so I want to practice.

Question by Charles: Online gamblers, do you know of an online source where I could practice my craps and roulette strategies free?
I know about Cherry Red Online Casino and Bodog Casino, but Cherry Red does not have free flash roulette practice anymore and Bodog has a few bugs in their free flash craps practice setup. I don’t want to actually download any online casino software I just want to practice separately using the free flash system until I’m ready.
Hahaha pdq, I’m afraid I’ve been out of school for ten years and I have several degrees. Now, all I do is search for good real estate deals since the market is flat on it’s butt. I and other savvy investors know it won’t always be that way so I buy, fix and rent ‘em out until the market starts roaring back again. However, I do have many people tell me constantly I’m making a big mistake and I always make a bundle, then they say it was all luck. This happened many times in the past ten years and I always find a another way to make money. The reason I tell you all this is because if I get an idea in my head I don’t listen to anyone even well intentioned folks like you. You see I’m just plain stubborn and I don’t give up easily. Now, with all that said I have been coming to LV from CA for several years and I do have a simple strategy for winning at craps but roulette has got me stymied and that’s why I need a free flash player to practice my many roulette ideas good or bad.

There are lots of places that will let you play for free.

I don’t think you should call what you are doing “practice”. That implies that you actually could get better at these games! In case you haven’t figured this out yet, you CAN’T. These games favor the house and there is NO WAY to beat these games in the long run. People have try EVERY ‘system’ to play these games over the past couple hundred years, and NOBODY has figured out a way to beat them in the long run. Anyone that tells you they can beat roulette is trying to SELL you their system. The only people that will win is the person that sold you the system, and the casinos.

Stay in school if you still can, and work hard. Try to beat roulette (or other casino games) at your peril.

***EDIT***

Thanks for the personal response to my answer. I stand by what I say. If you really are going to continue to pursue this, be sure to spend some time researching “Bankroll Management”. You WILL find out someday that there is no way to beat these games in the long run. At least if you have a Bankroll Management system in place, you shouldn’t lose all your money at once.

Question by jay_jenkins420: is online practice roulette the same as when you play with real money?
I use bodog.com they let you play roulette for free, with play money to practice. i can play for an entire day and just win, i have a good strategy, but my question is. if i start paying with real money are things going to change? id imagine it would be illegal to have it setup differently. Also I know in real life the ball has landed on one color 15x in a row, but online it seems like it dosen’t do that. ive been playing for day’s most solid color ive seen it 7 in a row.

Take your strategy to the real money table and see how you get on.
Numbers produced should be completely random as the roulette ball has no memory of its last number.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Good Luck.
