so yeah black jack sux, all that hassle and you get EVENS back?? not worth it, people only play it cause of high bankroll and like watching the money go too and frow, only good for rich people and senior citizens who can't get it up ROFL.
only good thing about it is if you can count cards like in the movies you can make some serious cash, although i'm not in the U.S and where i'm from they shuffle it pretty quick, which i can understand to stop 'card counting' but god, this also mixes the crap cards back in the deck, which increases the houses advantage, ......this must be illegal, so lame.

BJ, is a 50/50 game,
YOU vs DEALER!
Now where that can get messed up is when, you got a bunch of rookies on the table takin' hits when the dealer is showin' a 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. That can catch up to you, if you are holdin' 12-16 and stand, then some rookie takes a card, that would have busted the dealer. The main thing in BJ, is chase it! When you get to the table, bet 1 ($10,$20$50$100 etc...) If you win, bet 1 again! If you lose, bet 2x your first bet! If you lose again, bet 4x your first bet! Eventually you will get back to winnin' 1. Then start all over.
If you see stupidfuckinpeople at the table taking hits when they shouldn't, then get up and move to another table!
Why the casinos have the advantage on BJ: #1 they have a 50/50 chance 1 on 1, but when they go 1 on 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 etc, they increase their chances of making money, and paying the winners on the table with the losers money. Also, when the table is packed, you will always get those individuals that take stupid hits, to prevent the dealer from going bust, and most will keep bettin' 1 to 1!
I have also seen players, bet a larger amount, after they win?
Remember it is 50/50 odds: you vs dealer, if you lose the hand, chase it, to make 1, then start all over!
I have also been at a table, where the dealer was hot as a mofo(winning 4+ hands in a row)! Move on to another table, if you see that happen!
