Is it beatable?

[Allecc]

First of i just wanna say hi to everyone. Iv'e been lurking around in the forum for a while now and this is my first post. Im an amature magician and thats probably one of the reasons i got interested in BJ.

So i got this game where i live. I know its a crappy game but its the only one available right now. I was hoping i could get some thoughts on it.

6-Decks, Stand on S17, NDAS, 4 hand resplit, No hitting on splitted aces, DD 7-11, Push is only on 20/21,No peek/No hole-card (EU), No surrender, 85% penetration, $2-$12. Thats about it i think. As you can see its really bad rules, and very low max limit.

Im not interested in making alot of money (wich is impossible with these rules), i would be happy if i could stay on a steady +/- 0.

So what do i need to get the edge to 0 or maybe a little + if possible. Im using Hi/Lo. Is Ill18 enough or do i need full index? Are my money better spent on the roulette?


Edit: All the stuff i hear about bonuswhoring, does it really work? Any comments on that would be appreciated to.

Thank you for ALL answers.

I will leave the first part of your question to the experts. For the bonus hunting, It is a great way to build your BR. I made $6000 online in 1 yr. Some one on this forum made $30000 PM me and I will fill you in on how to get started and answer any Q's you have. If you live in the US you can probably forget about it as its now illegal as far as I know.

Good luck

What does this mean?

As for bonus hustling, check out beatingbonuses.com. It's a good resource. Since you're in the EU, and hopefully not from the Netherlands, there should be a lot of opportunities available.

If Player and Dealer both have 17-19 Dealer wins, its only a push on 20,21. Maybe thats always how it is, i thought its was a push on 17-19 in the US to, but maybe thats something i made up.

So what do you guys have to say about the game, the bonus hustling thing was just a little side note.

if the dealer wins on 17-19 pushes then its unbeatable gives a house edge of like 5.3% according to the wizard of odds so its like a house edge of 6%!!!. and yea hands the tie should push in most places, but casinos set thier own rules. don't give your money away to them!

Unbeatable unless you're cheating or you can see the dealer's holecard.

I should have figured this out, thanks anyway. Now we can make the bonuswhoring thing the main question. What do i need to know, does everyone have a positiv experience with it?

Go to onlineblackjackguide.com. That forum will probably help a lot. There's still a little money for US players, and tons of money for non-US.
