losing in my first online blackjack experience.. A question....
Hi,
Just having my first flurry on online blackjack. I signed up with $100 and got an extra $300 bonus to play with, so $400 in all. I play exactly to basic theory, $5 bets at a time. I need to clear $8000 worth of bets to get the bonus. Anyway, started playing and in first day got to $500, then dropped to $160, put it all on one hand, and doubled up. My $320 dropped again to $170 so i put $70 on one hand and doubled through. Im now on about $210 and need to play probably another hour before I clear my bonus My question, is basically is this typical blackjack varience? I seem to be getting hammered playing basic strategy, I think in another hour I will even have a bonus to cash out? Not to sound cynical but is this normal? |

There is a lot of variance.

Well I figured that seeing as im trying to play to pay off my bonus, there would be no point in allowing my bonus to disappear. If I let my bonus shrink below $50 then it wouldnt be worth my time. Anyway, cleared the bonus and ended up with $330, so $220 profit, which I am happy with. Seemed to lose way more than I won but I made 3 big bets of $50-75 that all won so I was lucky in that sense.

Not to mention the hands you try to go all in on, the HA goes way up since you cant split, or dbl down. You should never put more than 50% down in one single bet.
