Is online blackjack beatable at all?
The deck is always beeing shuffled; there is no big use of card counting etc. I can use basic strategy all the time but I don't have an edge over the house.
What player can do to beat the house?

This is my first post. Sorry for my "straight to the point" question and my English.

the "straight to the point" answer is no

Elimination Blackjack at PlayUBT or its skin Ultimate Bet is a game of skill. The skill is more in money management, with variations in situational card play strategy. The better skilled players win much more then they lose.

Online blackjack against a computer is unbeatable.

Only way to beat online BJ is to use it to scalp the sign up/reload bonuses. I used to do it to build a BR but haven't for years, the turn requirements made it harder.

Basically:
Pick a new site, sign up and get a sign up bonus
Check wizard of odds to get the correct basic strategy for that site
Play $1 at a time until you have met turn requirement
Withdraw your deposit and what's left of your bonus
Find next site
Rinse repeat

Is blackjack really ever "beatable?"

You can convince yourself that you have a 1-2% edge but that is still trash.

Sure, it's beatable. Not online, though (aside from whoring).
