No, I am not a counter, but I do notice trends which I watch for and seem to be able to profit from on a regular basis. I am not sure why, but BJs seem to come in batches with online games. Mostly batches of 2 or 3. Just something that I have noticed.
When the cards are "truly" random I do OK. There are "a lot" of casinos that IMO are NOT "truly" random and I avoid them all now. I don't care what anyone says to the contrary.
I also avoid using bonuses, I have been stung a few times in the past using bonuses and then finding out there are all sorts of conditions attached that I didn't "notice" when depositing.
I have been playing online Blackjack for just over 8 years on and off. Prior that I played at the B&M casino here regularly when it first opened and did OK.
You sound like you are just one of the lucky ones that the odds have not caught up to yet. Figure it out. Out of the thousands who play online blackjack, odds clearly in the favor of the casino, a small subset will escape going bust and even win, at least, for a time. Odds do not mean you will lose in the short run, but they do mean you will lose in the long run. So far, your strategy, which appears to be working, has served you well, but IMHO it is not the strategy that has worked, but the fact that you have thus far been one of the lucky ones.
Any further discussion of this should be in the Voodoo section where you can explore the strategies that seem to have made you a winner with professionals who can evaluate them and advise you further and in detail. You wouldn't want to continue and find that you are on a losing path, would you? Of course, you don't have to take my advice; maybe you'll continue to win. It's just that no one on this forum will give you recognition for having done so by means of skill. Or, you may have come up with real life strategies that work, other than counting-- although I must say, it will be the first time, unless the sites you play on do not employ real random shuffles and you have stumbled on a way to exploit their weakness. Just my opinion. Have a nice day and good cards to you.
