When I was in Las Vegas for this years CES , I did some gambling – my favorite game is Black Jack, because chances that you can walk away with a profit is pretty high and it is easy to play.
While playing I noticed that 80 Percent of the people on the table had now idea how to play black Jack … splitting 2 tens, not hitting on a 16 when the dealer had a 19, etc. And I thought it was just insane to see all those people loosing all this money.
Just by paying attention to the basic Black Jack Strategy:

If your are serious making your money last a little longer or even rising the chance to make a little profit know what you need to do buy heart!
Some things don’t very much sense – for example why to stand on a 12 when the dealer shows a 5! But you will get the point pretty quickly.
And you know what you have to do very soon when you practice, that’s why I put up a free online Black Jack on RGG.

Very important, you need to know when to stop. Here is what I would do (in a land based casino) .. I would look or go to a Casino with a very low minimum bet like 5 Bucks. Never more. If you are in Las Vegas go to the Sahara – they have $3 tables or downtown (even though I hate the area there) there you will find tables under $5.
So let’s assume you find a table with a $3 MB… I always start out with 20x your minimum bet – so your bankroll should be $60. If that money is gone it is gone – there is no point to try to win that money back. Should go and sit down with the attitude that the $60 is what it costs to have a great time, including free drinks and meet fun people from all over the world. If you didn’t have any luck – well at least you had at least a great time (the 60 bucks will have you playing for a while) and if you had luck .. even better!
Never play by feeling – Stick with the rules!!!
If you are on a lucky streak – keep in a mind a not so lucky streak will most likely follow. So set amount when you will leave the table and have the amount above the initial bankroll .. be strong, you can do it. And on top of that have the great feeling to belong to very small amount of people standing up from a Vegas table with some extra cash in your pockets.
Here is a list of some RGS approved online casinos accepting Players from the US:
There you can even play just with a $1 minimum bet.
Keep in mind, only sit down on a table with an amount you can afford to loose and also know when to stop playing!
And if you are annoyed with this post – well rest assure .. RGS will not turn into a casino blog and this will be the last post on gambling for this year. RGS Promise!
