why don't you have a play with powersim as its free?

Until a few years back the UK Gambling Commission only allowed casino's to offer D9-11 "to protect the ploppy". Although this has been changed to DOA for sometime now, some casino's still only offer the old rules, so doubling may not have been an option. I often play as a casino by choice that...

Spread Allowed I had another quick look at this game, it seem's that the bet range is only 1-10 units for "outside bets" (only £1-£10 - appologies, i'm no longer sure what this is now in $ since the £ crashed out and i'm too scared to look! - lol), so pretty worthless. I didn't have time to...

Thats crap, but is this real? I watched a TV documentary a while back about real life scams & cons. On the show they claimed they had a BJ computer which could predict the next card(s) with something like 80% accuracy. They claimed it worked by the user entering the cards throughout a shoe to...

Hey Jack, If you want to post our private conversations here regarding this, for others to comment on, I don't mind as long as you remove any casino names.

Hi Newb, I'm curious to what you're planning to do with this essay, is it for a college course or something similar, or are you going to distribute this information somehow?

Hi Guys, I thought I'd share this find, I came accross yesterday. It a freeware java based phone application called Blackjack Crack. It basically allows practise of BS for various rules and also has a practise/test sim for HI/LO and TC converstions. I've only had a little play but it looks...

Aspers Casino? Does anybody have any experience playing at an Aspers casino? I believe they have them in Newcastle, Swansea & Northampton. The big question is does this operator offer decent games? Does anybody know what the progess is with the other 7 large casinos planned accross the UK?
