Midnite, thanks for the suggestion. Blondie, there's a site that among other things rates Online Casinos. Doc told us about it: www.customstrategycards.com. My own advice is never play them. Even if I have no doubt about their honesty (for example, CasinONet gets good marks) it's still too fast a way to lose money. Plus playing against a computer with no one else around is no fun. Easy for me to say, I live ten minutes from a decent casino. bjcanada, I didn't know British Columbia had casinos too. Where exactly? Phoenix has non-stop service to Vancouver and it's over 110 degrees here until the end of August, so Canada sounds real nice. I've used progressive betting on CSM's and I've used it on regular shoes; I've also used flat betting on both. Progressive betting is more entertaining, but with CSM's I am still unsure if it does any good. |

Has anyone ever played in any of the online casinos and found them to be honest over an extended period of time? Recommendations? Thanks. |

Desert Dog- A easy way to tell what your next bet is supposed to be is, pull back a winning bet, but keep it seperate from your other chips. That way if you lose a hand, you know that is your next bet. If you win a hand and there is already a bet there, it is time to increase your bet. |

Aside from Dahl, there's another progression I only know as 1-2-3. Your base bet is 2. Win: go up to 3, lose: drop to 1. Lowest bet 1, highest bet 3. If you lose a 3 unit bet you only drop to 2 rather than all the way to 1. An aggressive variant (which I don't do) is to let everything ride if you win BJ, DD, or Split. With Dahl I often forget if I was on my first or second 1.5 bet, etc. With this one, you just look at what your previous bet was and whether you won or lost. I've practised it on a computer game and the interesting thing is that you can lose a few more hands than win and still come out ahead in $, and if you win just a few hands more than lose, you can come out way ahead. Still nothing saves you if you lose a lot more hands than win. |

Pitch game = Hand held cards. Dealt face down. Almost always, from a single or double deck. Cards are "pitched" to the players. |

did a quick calculation comparing martingale vs. dahl using a 5 win/5loss and a 5L/5W scenerio. Martingale: 5W/5L=36 units wagered= -26 units. 5L/5W=61 units wagered= +5 units. Dahl: 5W/5L=13 units wagered=+1 unit. 5L/5W=12 units wagered= +2 units. I would think you will find similiar results comparing other positive progressions vs. martingale. |

Midnite and Doc: such clarity and energy: thanks. And just FYI, another plug for The Pearl River Resort in Philadelphia MS: dealer still stands on soft 17, you can double on anything (including after a split), can split up to a total of 4 hands. 6 deck hand shuffle at The Golden Moon, 6 deck auto-shuffle and CSM's at the Silver Star, ten dollar pitch games both places, 3 to 2 payoff for BJ. Y'all should come play b4 they change the rules! |

While it is misleading, the odds of losing 11 in a row are 1 in 3,332. |

If doubling your bet every time you lost was a good strategy, everyone would do it and casinos would stop offering Blackjack. Try it a few times on a computer game simulator like Hoyle and see where it gets you. Mostly you'll be glad it was just a simulation. |

Doc- Thanks for your insights on the psyche and success of advantage players. My feet are firmly grounded in science 8 hours a day so a little artistic expression can't hurt. |
