online casino card counting

a)is card-counting applicable to online blackjack? b) is it true that BJ odds online sometimes favor bettor?

I’m not a U.S. resident & know little about the operation of online casinos, but have an “academic”- & perhaps “practical” – interest in the questions, depending on the answers that the wind blows. Theoretically, it seems to me that an online casino cd. defeat card-counting simply by making each deal independent. As for rumor that online BJ cd offer odds that favor player, that seems illogical but some casinos might think that the volume of business this come-on wd. bring in, if the projected increased business is factored by the results of research studies showing that a lot of people trying to play basic strategy will make mistakes, wd. result in the end in making more profit for the casino. Anyway, it cd. always change the rules.

Card counting is applicable to online blackjack if you’re playing at a casino which doesn’t “shuffle” after every hand. Intercasino deals 2 decks out of 8 decks in the shoe before shuffling, but only on their multiplayer blackjack games.

Of course, with minimal deck penetration like that, most of the time it will be tough to get a big edge even if you’re good at counting, and the swings will be really big. You would need a huge bankroll to even be able to come close to playing professionally.

Also, if you’re playing at an online casino that offers a single deck blackjack game, and you know how to count cards, you can deviate from basic strategy when appropriate, based on the count. Since most of the edge in card counting comes from increasing your bet size in a profitable situation, this will provide you with minimal benefit.

Casinos powered by Boss Media offer a single deck game with a 0.11% player advantage if you play with perfect basic strategy. So you can get an edge there without having to count cards at all. Unless you’re just wanting to practice counting cards in preparation of hitting a land-based casino, this is possibly your best blackjack bet on the internet.
