Online Blackjack is nothing more than the virtual, Web-based version of the popular casino card game in which the player’s skill can have as much effect on the outcome as the element of chance. Blackjack online offers the same enjoyment as it does in “real world” casinos, but can be played right from your computer - one can wager on and play blackjack online without ever having to leave home!

As a resident of Vegas, and frequent blackjack player, it was years before I ever bothered to learn basic strategy. I would lay down my money at the blackjack table and play using a rudimentary sense of the rules and a weak instinct for “the right move.” Over the years, I picked up basic strategy by playing next to players who were more disciplined and better educated at winning than I was. So before I ever picked up a book on basic strategy, I had a decent sense of how it worked.

There is actually a psychological factor to blackjack, making it more complicated than it would initially seem. In fact, that psychological factor is quite major because it relates to your state of mind while playing. You’re going to be the one making all the decisions and calling all the shots throughout the game, so that psych factor could make the difference between a winner and a total bankroll wipeout.

With blackjack the game of odds and probability that it is, a card counting strategy coupled with a fairly conservative betting strategy is sure to make you some money in the long run. However, the casinos - where you presumably play blackjack most of the time - don’t want that to happen. Their primary source of income is the player that, at the end of the day, finishes up his or her bankroll with foolish decisions, and they constantly hope that you’re that kind of person.

Blackjack is a great game and I love to play it. But if I’m honest, I get a little frustrated having to constantly consult the strategy cards.
I know why the strategy cards exist - to lower the house edge (ie the percentage of money staked that the casino expects to win) to as close as 0 as possible.

The basic essence of the game of blackjack was woven into the psyche of the majority of us by the time we hit our early teens. As children we saw our parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles gather around a large table in the recreation room shortly after holiday meal. We observed them involved in a game in which the object was to get closer than the dealer to a total of “21″ with a hand of cards. The adults in our family would play and laugh and reminisce for hours. So, naturally, as kids we tried to emulate our parents. Therefore, in the next room, we would play our version of “21′ or, as we grew older, blackjack as it was called.
