Beginer Tips

Hi Everyone I have been playing Sparatically for the last couple years, and I have never left with less than I bought in for untill now. My experiences are gambling cruises in South FL, Casinos in Omaha, and Windsor. Right now I am on the Gulf Coast, Biloxi, for the summer, and I can not seem to win. I am dropping cash left and right. I dont have a large amount of money so I usually play 5 dollar tables untill I am playing with the houses money, but I haven't even gotten that far. I have no experience counting and would like to learn. And I do alirght on the trainers but I keep getting raped by the casinos here. Any Advice??

6 Deck
no Surrender
Dealer hits 16

Same Boat!!!

I have the same story!!! I bet $ 300 and when I double my money I leave.
But the last few time I just get slamed!! I've gone throught a $1000 with no luck. I'm still up so it doesn't hurt to bad. But I wonder if I'm doing something wrong? I use BS and I double up + 5 on a lose. Like I said I have done well in the past. I go out on the Ocean Jewel from St. Petersburg Fl.

The best I can tell is that you are both describing a normal down swing in blackjack play. Using simple BS you are still at a disadvantage to the house so you will have losing streaks and winning streaks, but you will lose money over the long haul. The only way to turn the advantage in your favor and come out ahead in the long run is to count cards and even then you need to be prepared for those losing streaks 'cause they will come ;)
