			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I already featured the <a href="http://www.mobilegambling.net/mobile-blackjack/" title="Mobile Blackjack" target="_blank">mobile blackjack site</a> Platinum Play in a <a href="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/uk-mobile-blackjack">previous post</a> on the site. I wanted to update this with a couple more options for player to choose from. </p>
<p>The one thing that these mobile casinos have in common is that players in the United States will not be able to participate. This is because the laws currently won&#8217;t permit mobile casino bets to be placed on a mobile device. </p>
<p>There are primarily two mobile casino software providers: Microgaming has developed Spin 3 software with a compliment of 20+ mobile games. Playtech has created its own software and currently features 16 mobile casino games to choose from. You will find more Microgaming casinos that feature mobile games then Playtech.</p>
<p>The mobile casinos are in their infancy and as mobiles and smartphones become more popular, more games will be created to meet the increased demands. However, all of the mobile casinos offer at least one blackjack game for players on the go.</p>
<p>Blackjack is the perfect game to play on your mobile. There isn&#8217;t a lot of complex betting like roulette or craps, so you only have to use a couple of buttons to bet, deal and make decisions on your current hand.</p>
<h3>Bet365 Casino</h3>
<p><img align="left" style="padding-right:8px" src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/bet365-mobile-blackjack.jpg" alt="bet365-mobile-blackjack" title="Bet365 Mobile Blackjack" width="161" height="201" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-263" />Bet365 offers a mobile blackjack game that is similar to the Vegas style of Blackjack. The reason I say this is because the dealer will be dealt both cards before you make an action.</p>
<p>However, this is still European blackjack rules. The Dealer must stand on all 17s. You can only split once. You can double down on any two cards. There is no surrendering and Insurance pays 2 to 1.</p>
<p>You can choose to accept one of two separate bonus offers for players making their first deposit. If you make a deposit between $20 and $200, use the Offer Code <strong>BONUS100</strong> while you make the deposit and Bet365 will match your deposit. If you make a deposit between $400 and $2,000, use the Offer Code <strong>VIP500</strong> and you can receive a 50% bonus up to $1,000!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/visit/bet365-casino" title="Visit Bet365 Casino" target="_blank">Click here</a> to visit Bet365 Casino</p>
<h3>Spin Palace</h3>
<p><img align="left" style="padding-right:8px" src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/spin-palace-mobile-blackjac.jpg" alt="spin-palace-mobile-blackjack" title="Spin Palace Mobile Blackjack Game" width="125" height="250" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-267" />The Microgaming version of blackjack is more like the traditional European blackjack game. The dealer will only deal themselves one card up. Then, you play your hand before the dealer takes his second card.</p>
<p>You can see that the buttons are large and easy to use on a menu bar at the bottom of your mobile&#8217;s touchscreen. The large buttons are extremely important when you are deciding to hit and stand because you don&#8217;t want to mis-click a button.</p>
<p>Spin Palace offers a Sign-On Bonus that will extend for your first 3 deposits with the casino. You can get up to €/£/$1,000 in bonuses over these 3 deposits.</p>
<p>The first deposit will receive a 100% Match Bonus that will double the amount of money you start with. Make a first deposit between €/£/$20 and 150 and you will receive the same total in bonuses. The 2nd Bonus is a 25% match bonus up to €/£/$125. The 3rd bonus is a 50% up to €/£/$100.</p>

<p>In order to receive the 200% blackjack bonus, you must <strong>download</strong> and <strong>install</strong> the software for one or both of these casinos. You will be required to create a username to log into the casino lobby. From there, you will need to click on the <strong>Cashier</strong> button.</p>

<p>3) Once you have entered the bonus code, make a deposit of $30 or more. The maximum bonus is limited to the amount you can deposit using a particular method.</p>
<p>You will receive 3 times the chips that you deposited to start with. This acts as your bankroll.</p>
<h3>Bonus Rules</h3>
<p>The rules for this blackjack bonus is as follows:</p>
<p>1) <strong>Only Blackjack</strong> is allowed with these two bonuses. Don&#8217;t play any other casino games before you complete the wagering requirements!</p>
<p>2) There is a 50x wagering requirement that must be completed before you can make a request to withdraw. If you deposit $100, the wagering requirement is ($100 + $200) x 50 or $15,000. If you deposit $500, the wagering requirement is ($500 + $1000) x 50 or $75,000. You can view how much is left on your wagering requirement in the Casino Cashier.</p>
<p>3) There is a 10x max cashout with these two bonuses. That means if you deposit $100, you will be able to win $1000. If you deposit $500, you will be able to win $5000 with one of these bonuses.</p>
<h3>How to Use this Bonus</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/clubplayer-blackjack-game.jpg"><img src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/clubplayer-blackjack-game.jpg" alt="clubplayer-blackjack-game" title="Club Player Casino&#039;s Blackjack game" width="540" height="404" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-250" /></a></p>
<p>These are a Non Cashable bonuses. That means that once you have finished the wagering requirements and cash out, the bonus money goes back to $0.</p>
<p>With that in mind, the object is to treat the 200% bonus as your bankroll. The amount the you should play per hand totally depends on the amount that you deposit, so I am going to give you several quick examples:</p>
<p>1) Deposit $100 or less. You are going to want to be playing hands the table minimum of $5 per hand to start out. You will only have $300 to start with. Here is what I see happen most often in this scenario: you start off betting $5 per hand and go back and forth until you have half of that total left. Then you bump up the bet to try and compensate and bust out.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t try to &#8220;make up&#8221; for losses. Only play one hand at a time (they offer the option to bet two hands). Slow and steady has a better chance of finishing the race. Even if you are rewarded with a win, you are more likely to do it in the future and bust out.</p>
<p>2) Deposit $200 to $400. You have some more comfort room now to begin to open things up. Playing the minimum until your ahead isn&#8217;t the way to win in blackjack. Your current streak should dictate how much you are betting. The minimum bet should be at least $10.</p>
<p>If you play for long enough, you will see that there are hot streaks for you and hot streaks for the dealer. There are also cold streaks for you and cold streaks for the dealer. The trick is to tread water until you get matched up with a hot streak and the dealer begins busting out more than usual. </p>
<p>You must be sure to <a href="http://casinodave.com/doubledown.htm" title="doubling down" target="_blank">double down</a> in the correct situations to maximize the winnings when the odds are in your favor. The biggest problem players have is pulling the trigger when they put a bigger bet on the table.</p>
<p>Remember to take a look at the <a href="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/blackjack-probability" title="Black Jack Probability">blackjack probability</a> page. The dealer has about a 30% chance of busting on any given hand. A lot of the time the software seems to be programmed to meet that goal over the long haul. That means you will see steaks both ways (when there are too many or too few wins for the dealer).</p>
<p>3) Deposit $500 or more. You now have enough money that you should open up your game. You will start with at least $1500 to play with. Instead of relying on runs, you should now engage in using one of the following <a href="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/blackjack-betting-systems" title="blackjack betting systems">betting systems</a>.</p>
<p>The table maximum is $250. Keep that in mind while you are betting your units. With that much money, you are going to need to bet a lot unless you want the wagering requirement to take forever. The minimum bet that I would suggest is $30. The largest I would make 1 unit is $50, unless you deposited $1000 or more.</p>
<p>However much you deposit, you are looking at between 10 hours and 30 hours or so of playing blackjack. This entirely depends on the way that you play. Some players that get on a roll can eat up the wagering requirement in large chunks if they get close to betting the table limit of $250. Playing this way isn&#8217;t for the faint of heart, but the players that win a lot of money do so by winning big on key hands.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img align="right" style="padding-left:8px" src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/real-money-blackjack.gif" alt="real-money-blackjack" title="Playing real money black jack" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-210" />Playing blackjack for real money is completely different from playing for fun online or with your friends. </p>
<p>The main difference is the pressure that you will feel when you are betting $5 or $10 per hand. A losing streak takes on more meaning and it can lead to bad betting habits that can bust you out.</p>
<p>For the beginners out there, here is how I go about betting in blackjack regardless of whether I am at a casino or playing online:</p>
<p>If you are playing $5 per hand, you should have at least $200 to play with. If you stick to this $5 per hand pretty firmly without making wild bets, it means you can lose at least 10 hands in a row without running out of cash. If you like to play $10 per hand, you should double the amount you start with.</p>
<p><img align="left" style="padding-right:8px" src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/online-black-jack.gif" alt="online-black-jack" title="Playing Black Jack Online" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-213" />Blackjack is a game with major streaks involved. Don&#8217;t be surprised to win or lose 5 or more hands in a row. There are sometimes the dealer will bust several times in a row and times when the dealer pulls out a small card to beat everyone. </p>
<p>I can&#8217;t tell you how many times one bad hit or stay will have a negative effect the rest of the shoe at a blackjack table. Seasoned blackjack players are very superstitious and if you mess up often you will probably see a player or two leave the table.</p>
<p>The following is an example of how I would go about betting on my blackjack hands during the course of playing real money blackjack. This doesn&#8217;t take into account <a href="http://www.onlinegamblingsites.net/games/blackjack/card-counting/" title="card-counting-blackjack" target="_blank">all blackjack card counting methods</a> where you increase or decrease your bets based on the card count differences between low and high cards.</p>
<h3>Betting in Blackjack</h3>
<p>Let&#8217;s say you are going to bet $10 per hand as your average bet and you start with $400. This doesn&#8217;t mean you always bet $10 per hand, but that is what you are shooting for as a goal. You begin by betting whatever your predetermined average bet ($10) and the result of this hand will determine what you should do.</p>
<p>You have a couple of different things that can happen in your first hand:</p>
<p>1) You double down/split and win $20<br />
2) You get a blackjack and win $15<br />
3) You have a higher total than the dealer or the dealer busts and you win $10<br />
4) You have the same total as the dealer or only win one split for a Push<br />
5) You have a lower total than the dealer or you bust and you lose $10</p>
<p>Here is what I would do on my next hand in each of these situations:</p>
<p>If you double down or get a blackjack, take your original bet but leave the winnings for the next hand. For any of the other results, I would bet $10 on the second hand.</p>
<p>The second hand can really start to take you in one direction or another. If you start winning several hands in a row, increase your bets by increments of $5 or $10 per hand until you lose. This will mitigate the eventual loss while banking on the winning streak.</p>
<h4>Winning Streaks</h4>
<p>It is very important that you play the recommended way when you are on a winning streak. You can take a look at the suggested way to play Vegas Blackjack with these <a href="http://casinodave.com/sbcasinos.htm" title="blackjack-strategy-cards" target="_blank">blackjack strategy cards</a>.</p>
<p>That means you should double down and split in the appropriate situations even if you have a large bet on the table. This is what gives the house only a slight advantage over the player.</p>
<p>The only reason you should have that large bet on a hand is when you are ready to take advantage of a good situation. The worst that should happen is that you need to go back to your normal wager on the next hand.</p>
<p>One more thing: Don&#8217;t take insurance on the dealer&#8217;s ace. The only way I would ever conceive of taking insurance is if I had a 5+ hand winning streak and that made me bet more than $75 on a hand and I received a 19 or higher.</p>
<h4>Losing Streaks</h4>
<p>If you start to lose several hands in a row, the best thing to do is bet the table minimum until you win a hand. I&#8217;ve said to myself 100 times, &#8220;I can&#8217;t really lose 7 in a row &#8230; 8 in a row &#8230; 9 in a row. Can I?&#8221; The answer is yes you can. It isn&#8217;t a statistical anomaly either. I have experienced a 12 &#8211; 16 count against a dealer showing a 10 more than 5 times in a row.</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t to say that blackjack is always going to have runs like that. Just making you aware of the pitfall that I usually fall into when I bust out. It&#8217;s called the &#8220;I&#8217;m due&#8221; factor. Normally, you will go back and forth with the dealer for a while. If you are averaging winning 3 out of 5 hands against the dealer, bump the bets up to $15 or $20. If you are averaging losing 7 out of 10 hands, only bet $5 or the table minimum.</p>
<p>Blackjack is a game that is normally played for at least 2 hours. If you can&#8217;t make it that long, you are doing something wrong fundamentally. Usually, the problem occurs with the players bets and not how they play the game. Here is the most important thing that you should not do when you are playing at <a href="http://www.onlinegamblingsites.net/games/blackjack/" title="real-money-blackjack" target="_blank">sites with real money online blackjack</a>: </p>
<p>I bought $200 worth of chips. I have played for an hour and I&#8217;m down to about $100 in chips. The biggest mistake I can make is bumping my bets up to $25 to try to &#8220;make up&#8221; for the losses. Becoming impatient with the process will make you lose the money. Even worse is what happens if you win on that large bet; then you will be conditioned to try to throw a large bet and bust out without giving any real effort. At that point you only have yourself to blame.</p>

If you are from the United States, then you won&#8217;t have many options since the government has frowned upon gambling online. This article is going to pertain to gamblers from the UK and Europe. Here is a look at some of the <a href="http://mobilecasinobonus.org/" target="_blank">Top Mobile Casinos UK</a>.</p>
<p>The two most popular smart phones that the online casinos are catering to are the iPhone and Android. However, there are also some casinos that also provide services for other mobile phone and Blackberries as well. If you are looking for an online casino that offers blackjack for your mobile device, let me suggest <a href="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/visit/platinum-play" title="Visit Platinum Play" target="_blank">Platinum Play</a>. They are one of the best European casinos out there.</p>
<p><img align="right" style="padding-left:8px" src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/mobile-blackjack.gif" alt="mobile-blackjack" title="Platinum Play&#039;s mobile blackjack game" width="175" height="200" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-199" />Platinum Play offer mobile blackjack that you can play anytime and from anywhere on your Apple iPad, iPhone, Blackberry or mobile phone. All you have to do is log in with your PIN (which will be given to you after you sign up) and you can start playing blackjack against the deal.</p>
<p>The type of blackjack played will be the European Blackjack game. The easiest way to tell is that the dealer is only dealt the first card up and you must play your hand before the dealer gets the second card.</p>
<p>The mobile client runs off of Microgaming&#8217;s Spin 3 software. This can be downloaded to your mobile phone by registering your phone number on Platinum Play&#8217;s website. You will be sent an SMS that contains a link to download the software.</p>
<h3>Platinum Play Mobile Bonus</h3>
<p>Would you like to take advantage of a mobile casino bonus? It&#8217;s easy! When you make a deposit at their casino, you can receive a 150% bonus on your first deposit up to €150. That means when you deposit €100, you will receive €150 and start with €250 total.</p>
<p>You can also receive a bonus on your second deposit as well. This is a 100% match bonus worth up to €250 free. Deposit up to €250 and start with a total of €500 in your account. You can also convert this from Euros to Pounds if you are from the UK.</p>
<h3>Other Mobile Games at Platinum Play</h3>
<p>Blackjack isn&#8217;t the only game that you can play at the mobile casino. There are currently more than 20 casino games at Platinum Play&#8217;s mobile casino. This includes 3 Card Poker, Baccarat, Roulette, Video Poker, Keno and many slots and scratch cards. Below are some screen shots from these games:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently received an email from a blackjack player that want to know if I trusted any of the online casinos that use Vegas Technology software. So far, I had only played at the one Vegas Tech casino that I am promoting on the site &#8211; <a href="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/visit/millionaire-casino" target="_blank">Millionaire Casino</a>.</p>
<p>The one thing that I like Vegas Tech&#8217;s software is that you are allowed to bet on multiple blackjack hands at the same time. Take a look at the screenshot below; you can see that I am able to bet on 5 hands at the same time.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/millionaire-casino-blackjack.jpg" alt="millionaire-casino-blackjack" title="Blackjack played at Millionaire Casino" width="525" height="375" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-186" /></p>
<p>There are also a couple of other blackjack games that you can try at Vegas Tech casinos like Millionaire. There is a progressive blackjack game with a current grand prize over $150,000! In order to play this game, you must bet $1 on the progressive jackpot before you are dealt cards. If you receive a pair of aces, you will win $25. You cannot split the aces if you want to win. The other prizes are listed below and require you to receive the aces consecutively.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/vegas-tech-blackjack-games.gif" alt="vegas-tech-blackjack-games" title="Other blackjack games offered at Millionaire Casino" width="500" height="115" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-187" /></p>
<p>The other game listed in the table above is called Perfect Pairs Blackjack. Again, you will need to bet $1 on a side bet. This time, if you are dealt any pair, you will win. The &#8220;Perfect Pair&#8221; is when you get two identical cards dealt to you.</p>
<h3>Other Vegas Technology Online Casinos</h3>
<p>There are several other online casinos that are owned by the same business group including <a href="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/visit/english-harbour" target="_blank">English Harbour</a>. Most of the other <a href="http://www.trusted-casinos.net/vegas-technology-online-casinos" target="_blank">vegas technology casinos</a> specialize in online slots. If you like playing slots or don&#8217;t want to accept a casino bonus to play blackjack, any of the sites listed there will be good to play at.</p>
<p>However, the theme of <a href="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/">Blackjack No Counting</a> is geared towards blackjack players and most blackjack players tend to like getting a blackjack bonus of one kind or another. They at least would like to be able to play blackjack with any bonus money that they might acquire through their betting. That is the main reason that I have Millionaire Casino listed here.</p>
<p>Millionaire Casino will match your first 3 deposits after you create your account with them. The first deposit will be matched 100% up to $2,000. The second deposit is worth up to $1,000 and the third deposit will also be matched up to $2,000. That is a total of $5,000 in bonus money that you can receive.</p>
<p>The wager requirement at Millionaire Casino is 20 times the total amount of your deposit and bonus (20 x D + B). The minimum amount that you must deposit in order to be eligible for the bonus is $25.</p>
<p>This bonus will allow you to play any casino game except for European Roulette. However, blackjack wagers will only count 10% towards the wagering requirement goal before you can withdraw money from your account.</p>
<p>English Harbour offers the same conditions for their bonus, however the total amount of bonus money that you can receive is $800. Both of these two casinos offer other cash bonuses during the week and other special events. So if you do are not successful on your first try, you will have the option of accepting more bonuses from them.</p>
<p>Other Vegas Technology casinos like Online Vegas and Go Casino offer bonuses, but these bonuses are specifically for use on slot machines only. You will be excluded from playing blackjack if you choose to except the bonus there.</p>
<p>There is a lot of apprehension when it comes to how safe the online casinos that allow American players are overall. Some casino software manufacturers specifically forbid the online casinos that use their software from accepting players from the U.S.; but here is the best source that I have found <a href="http://www.trusted-casinos.net/" target="_blank">other trusted online casinos</a> that is broken up based upon the casino software provider.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>European gamblers know that the best online casinos usually run on either Microgaming or Playtech casino software. So which software do you prefer to use?</p>
<p>For me, it isn&#8217;t a really easy decision. I have played at a couple of online casinos that use either software. My favourite Microgaming online casino is <a href="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/visit/32red-casino" target="_blank">32Red</a> and the Playtech casino that I like is <a href="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/visit/williamhill-casino" target="_blank">WilliamHill</a>.</p>
<h3>Why Bet at Playtech Casinos?</h3>
<p><img align="left" style="padding-right:8px" src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/blackjack-playtech.jpg" alt="playtech-blackjack" title="William Hill Blackjack Screenshot" width="275" height="200" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-170" />There are a couple of features that I like about the blackjack software with both Playtech and Microgaming. You can find out more information about how <a href="http://www.let-poker.com/a/casino-slots-poker/playtech-casino-bonuses" target="_blank" title="playtech casinos">let-poker.com offers playtech casinos</a>. Here is what I like about the Playtech Casinos:</p>
<p>The one thing that I like about Playtech casinos like <a href="http://www.bestcasinosite.org/william-hill-casino/coupon-code" target="_blank">William Hill</a> is that these casinos will often offer games featuring <a href="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/live-dealer-casinos">live blackjack dealers</a>. Another thing I like about Playtech is that they offer one of my favourite blackjack games. It is called Blackjack Switch.</p>
<p>Blackjack Switch is a unique version of blackjack that only Playtech has rights to use. You start by placing two equal bets on the table. You will be dealt two different hands, one to each bet. The dealer is dealt to in the traditional Vegas style with one card up and one card down. You are given the option to switch the 2nd card that you get for each hand (It would be better if they allowed you to switch any two cards you want, but it doesn&#8217;t work that way).</p>
<p><img src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/blackjack-switch.jpg" alt="switch-blackjack" title="Playtech Blackjack Game - Blackjack Switch" width="525" height="375" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-172" /></p>
<p>The thing I&#8217;ve always liked about this game is being able to switch the cards and give yourself blackjacks. If you don&#8217;t want to switch, you don&#8217;t have to switch the cards. You simply keep going and play each hand separately against the dealer.</p>
<p>There is also another cool game that I found called 21 Duel Blackjack. Like Blackjack Switch, it is proprietary to Playtech casinos. This game is very strange and I&#8217;m not very good at it yet. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/21-duel-blackjack-playtech.gif" alt="21-duel-blackjack-playtech" title="Playtech Game - 21 Duel Blackjack" width="525" height="200" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-173" /></p>
<p>The game involves you placing an ante before you bet. You and the dealer will be dealt two cards and two community cards will be dealt. Your first card will be flipped up and you will have to make a decision to take the first or second community card dealt.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/visit/williamhill-casino" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/williamhill-468.gif" alt="williamhill-468" title="Play at William Hill Playtech Casino" width="468" height="60" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-179" /></a></p>
<h3>Why Bet at Microgaming Casinos?</h3>
<p>So the features I like about Playtech won&#8217;t be found on many Microgaming casinos. Although, some Microgaming casinos like 32red do offer live casino games like blackjack. You should take a look at the <a href="http://www.let-poker.com/a/casino-slots-poker/microgaming-casino-bonuses" target="_blank" title="microgaming casinos">microgaming casinos are on www.let-poker.com</a>.</p>
<p>So what features do I like when it comes to playing blackjack at Microgaming casinos?</p>
<p>The thing I like the most about them is the variety of blackjack games that they offer. Here is the list of blackjack games that Playtech offers: Blackjack UK, Blackjack, Live Blackjack, Blackjack Switch, Blackjack Surrender, Progressive Blackjack, Pontoon and 21 Duel Blackjack. That makes 8 different options to play.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/32red-blackjack-games.gif" alt="32red-blackjack-games" title="41 different blackjack varieties" width="525" height="350" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-175" /></p>
<p>At Microgaming Casinos like 32Red, you will have an astounding 41 different varieties of blackjack to play. Mind you, not all of these are truly different games. Almost every blackjack game also has a &#8220;Gold&#8221; edition that has a little bit better graphics. There are also some High Limit blackjack games that require a larger bet to play at. You can also find blackjack games with 1, 2, 4, 5 and 8 decks available and there are many multi-hand tables that you can play at.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/microgaming-blackjack.gif" alt="blackjack-microgaming" title="European Blackjack Screenshot from 32Red Microgaming casino" width="525" height="375" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-176" /></p>
<p>But, here is the basic list of games without any duplicates: Atlantic City Blackjack, Big Five Blackjack, Bonus Blackjack, Classic Blackjack, Double Exposure Blackjack, European Blackjack, Hi Lo 13 Blackjack, High Streak Blackjack, Perfect Pairs Blackjack, Pontoon, Spanish Blackjack, Super Fun 21, Vegas Downtown (2 decks), Vegas Single Deck, Vegas Strip Blackjack.</p>
<p>What more could you ask for? There is no possible way that you can&#8217;t find a blackjack variation that will spice up your blackjack betting.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/visit/32red-casino" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/32red-4681.gif" alt="32red-468" title="32Red Casino - Click here to play" width="468" height="60" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-180" /></a></p>

You can place bets online and watch a live dealer spin the roulette ball or deal the cards in blackjack or baccarat. Not only that, but you can play and chat with other people at the live dealer tables.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img align="left" style="padding-right:8px" src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/live-dealer-casino1.jpg" alt="live-dealer-casino" title="Live Dealer Casino" width="200" height="150" class="size-full wp-image-158" />One thing that a lot of people don&#8217;t trust about online casinos is the RNG (or random number generator) used in the casino games. It isn&#8217;t that the odds of winning are very different at a live casino. </p>
<p>But sometimes it is difficult to trust that the computer software is 100% reliable and credible.<br />
The three games played at online casinos that are most affected by the lack of realism or genuine casino experience are roulette, blackjack and baccarat.</p>
<p>When you are playing roulette at a live table, there is no doubt where the ball landed on the roulette wheel. It isn&#8217;t a decision that is made by a computer. Somehow, the game just isn&#8217;t as fun placing bets and pressing spin as fast as I can.</p>
<p>The same can hold true for a popular game like blackjack. Have you ever had a bad run online and wonder just a little bit how genuine the dealer hits to 21 are? Sometimes the same exact thing will happen when your at the blackjack table, but it somehow is better because you see the cards dealt.</p>
<p>One thing that blackjack games at most online casinos have in common is that the deck is randomly shuffled after every hand. Don&#8217;t bother trying to count cards. The only online casinos that don&#8217;t do this will specifically say that they don&#8217;t shuffle between hands.</p>
<p>And as far as baccarat is concerned, playing this game at on online casino is like playing a glorified game of war. There is no realistic experience playing this game as computer software. The real baccarat game is played with other players (as are roulette and blackjack).</p>
<h3>Live Dealer Casino</h3>
<p><img align="right" style="padding-left:8px" src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/bet365-live-blackjack.png" alt="bet365-live-blackjack-dealer" title="Live Blackjack dealer at Bet365 Casino" width="300" height="224" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-161" />Did you know that some online casinos offer live dealers for casino games like the three mentioned above? When you are playing at a <a href="http://www.mypokerbasics.com/live-dealer-casino" target="_blank">live dealer casino</a>, it is as close to playing at the casino. </p>
<p>You can place bets online and watch a live dealer spin the roulette ball or deal the cards in blackjack or baccarat. Not only that, but you can play and chat with other people at the live dealer tables. </p>
<p>Betting isn&#8217;t any more difficult then an online casino game. You just have to place your bets in a certain amount of time. Once that time ends, betting is closed and the dealer begins.</p>
<h4>Where can I go to find a live dealer casino?</h4>
<p><img align="left" style="padding-right:8px" src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/bet365-baccarat.gif" alt="bet365-baccarat-live-dealer" title="Baccarat Live Dealer Casino" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-160" />My favourite place to play is <a href="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/visit/bet365-casino" target="_blank">Bet365 Casino</a>. The live dealer screenshots on this post are all from Bet365. They currently only offer the three casino games listed above. It wouldn&#8217;t be very practical to have the dealer throw the dice in craps or pull your slot machine handle. </p>
<p>I would like to see one of these sites offer a live pai gow poker game, but I don&#8217;t know how popular it would be. You are actually supposed to be the banker once in a while and play against everyone else at the table.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/visit/bet365-casino" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/bet365-casino-468.gif" alt="bet365-casino-468" title="Play live dealer at Bet365" width="468" height="60" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-164" /></a></p>
<h4>But Bet365 doesn&#8217;t accept players from the U.S., what should I do?</h4>
<p>Luckily, there are a couple of online casinos that offer live dealers. The one that I would recommend is <a href="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/visit/5dimes-casino" target="_blank">5Dimes Casino</a>. They also offer live blackjack, baccarat and roulette. 5dimes does not have the live dealers themselves; instead they use a service.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/5dimes-blackjack-live-dealer.jpg" alt="5dimes-blackjack-live-dealer" title="Live blackjack dealer at 5dimes casino" width="525" height="350" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-163" /></p>
<p>To access the live dealers at 5dimes, go to the Casino section and you will see a link for Live Dealer. This will take you to thelivedealercasino and you will have to create screen name and move money from your 5dimes account to the live dealer account. I&#8217;ve posted a couple of screenshots of 5dimes live dealer tables.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/5dimes-roulette.jpg" alt="5dimes-roulette-live-dealer" title="Live Roulette Dealer at 5dimes" width="535" height="315" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-151" /></p>
<p>If you have never tried this before, don&#8217;t be nervous. The dealers are very friendly and professional. Once you start playing blackjack, roulette and baccarat with a live dealer, you probably won&#8217;t want to play it any other way online.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/visit/5dimes-casino" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.blackjacknocounting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/5dimes-casino-468.gif" alt="5dimes-casino-468" title="Play live dealer games at 5dimes casino" width="468" height="60" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-165" /></a></p>

At most <a href="http://www.bettingsites.org/blackjack-betting/" target="_blank">blackjack betting sites</a> traditionally the game is played with six to eight decks.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you love the game of blackjack and you are always looking for new and interesting opportunities to play you may have heard of single deck blackjack.  At most <a href="http://www.bettingsites.org/blackjack-betting/" target="_blank">blackjack betting sites</a> traditionally the game is played with six to eight decks.  Playing single deck blackjack will be a whole new experience, if you decide to play!</p>
<p>Single deck blackjack is exactly what it sounds like!  Instead of playing the game with six to eight decks you will play with a single 52 card deck.  While this may make you a bit apprehensive, it shouldn’t.  In fact, a lot of experts tell people when they enter a casino to look for the single deck games.  The reason is that the single deck blackjack games can be the most profitable game in the casino.</p>
<p>Why might it be a good idea for you to choose a single deck blackjack game?  Simple: the house edge becomes very, very low.  In a single deck game the house edge is only 0.05%.   This is a big improvement over your chances with six to eight decks.  A good rule of thumb to always remember is that the fewer decks of cards there are in the game the better your odds are because the house advantage is lowered.</p>
<p>The reason that the single deck blackjack games are more profitable is because there are fewer cards and that means that each card is much more obvious in terms of value.  You’ll always have a better idea of what the outcome of the game will be just after a few cards are dealt.  If you are already adept at card counting you will find it is a breeze with single deck games.  If you are attempting to learn how to count cards, this is a much easier way to ease into it since you are only dealing with 52 cards instead of six times that amount!</p>
<p>So, if the ability to win at blackjack is better and counting cards is easier, why isn’t everyone playing single deck blackjack?  Unfortunately for those who love a good game of blackjack and love a game of blackjack that they win even more, the casinos that offer <a href="http://www.bettingsites.org/blackjack-betting/games/" target="_blank">real money blackjack games</a> are onto the fact that the game gives them less of an advantage.  As such, most casinos have done away with their single deck game offerings.  If you really want to play, you will have to really search for the casinos that do offer them.  Some of the online casinos offer the game but even the online casinos that offer single deck blackjack games are diminishing quickly.  The casinos know it is simply too easy for card counters to get the best of them!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not only is the popularity of poker still on the rise, so is the level of competition. In 2003 there was no shortage of fish at the table. But these days, players are able to learn poker faster than ever before. This is mainly due to the abundance and quality of poker strategy videos, articles, and books available today.   </p>
<p>One of the fundamentals of success in poker is adjustment. And while many good poker players just stick with the online poker room they&#8217;re comfortable with, others are adjusting by leaving the largest poker sites in search of smaller rooms with plenty of easy and predictable opponents.</p>
<p>The key to finding the best poker sites with lots of fish is to strike a balance between the <strong>size of the poker room</strong> and the <strong>quality of the players</strong>. </p>
<p>In other words, some small poker sites have plenty of fish, but have very few games running. If there aren&#8217;t enough mid stakes or high stakes cash games and tournaments running it won&#8217;t be profitable for winning players to play there.  </p>
<p>To make a profitable move, you need fishy poker sites that have plenty of different cash games and tournament tables running. </p>
<p>Recently, InstantPoker.org released a great article outlining the <a href="http://instantpoker.org/fishiest-us-poker-sites/" target="_blank">fishiest poker sites</a> . </p>
<p>They list both medium and large poker sites that have a significant amount of inexperienced players and plenty of games and stakes to choose from. </p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve found an online poker site with lots of bad players, make sure you know the best ways to exploit their tendencies. </p>
<h3>Beating the fish in poker</h3>
<p>Most of the fish in poker fall into two categories – too aggressive or too passive. </p>
<p>The aggressive poker fish tries to bully their opponents every chance they get. They are true gamblers that focus on winning the most pots, instead of winning the most money. </p>
<p>You&#8217;ll find a lot of European and Russian poker players with an overly aggressive style. The way to win against aggressive fish is to wait until you have a solid hand and then let them do the majority of the betting. By the time they realize that you&#8217;re trapping, it&#8217;ll be too late. </p>
<p>The passive poker fish is the best kind of fish. These players love to see a flop with any two cards and will often call multiple bets with weak hands like bottom pair or a gut-shot straight draw. </p>
<p>The way to maximize profit from passive players is to value bet your good hands and check your marginal ones. Unless you&#8217;ve seen a passive player fold a lot on the river, don&#8217;t bother trying to bluff him. These players will often call just to “keep you honest”. </p>
