Online Blackjack

Recently, I've been playing blackjack online with Casino on Net. I have been playing in practice mode with play money, but there is an option to play with real money. In practice mode, you start off with $1000. Over the last couple of days, I've accumulated over $10,000. Do you think the odds for practice play have been adjusted to favor the player in order to entice us to play with real money? There are other players at the tables, but I'm not sure if all of them are playing for practice or if we are intermingled with the real gamblers.

The odds may well be correct, It is probably playing honestly as it's not for real money. Start playing for real and you'll be skinned alive. Trust me these sites are at best weighted and at worst totally bent. If you want to play black jack the only place is the casino. As for the other players they may not even be real people.

I'm sure you are probably right. I have no intention of playing online for real money. It just doesn't seem right to me to gamble in your own home. However, it is a good way to practice basic blackjack strategy and is helping me to memorize the stategy tables. I will be moving back to the US soon, where I plan on going to an Indian Casino near where I will be living. Thanks.

As for the other players, they tend to hold a decent conversation. So I am pretty sure they are real.

I think that's normal for an online casino that you always win to make it look like its easy to have a lot of money playing practice mode. There's no difference in playing online and offline as long as you know how to play with strategy.
