I have noticed the same corporation (and same basic software user interface) is behind a number of outfits (ie English Harbour, Silver Dollar, Carribean Gold). Their bonus qualification is also the same (x7 T.O.) and their phone numbers all but identical. Should the budding BHer attack all three or cherry pick the best Bonus offer?

I'd say they're most probally sister casinos (obviously). Play them all. I play casino groups all the time.

What do you understand the term 'player abuse' means to the Casino?

Playing for profit. Since they can't distinguish between lucky ploppies and pro's, they base it on wagering. Always wager a bit more than you have to. Email them, ask how much your've wagered. They'll tell you your fine to go, so go :wink:.

Player abuse is like the BHers version of heat. It's mainly paranoia. I personally have never been banned, had any of my winnings withheld, or had any of my accounts frozen. Stick to the reputable and honest casino's and you'll be right (stay away from RTG, most of the are ************).

Have you dabbled with 'Be The Dealer' and played the Banker side?

Under ideal conditions, this would be very profitable. Still, most online players know ****, you have to play alot to get to be the dealer, and you need a very large BR. I wouldn't try it, the variance would wipe you out. Big wins or big losses.

Thanks in advance.

No problems, any more Qs just go ahead.


PS the link below contains a discussion on staking progressions with respect to BJ which I think is a re-post from this forum.


If you habe read some of my other posts, I do not recommend using progressions. I already know what that link is going to be about, especially since I know the website it's on.

Progressions do not change the house edge, and are all longterm losers. All they do is change the size and amount of wins (lots of wins=a few big losses, lots of losses= a few big wins).

The only condition a progression would work is if you hade an infinite BR, and played martingale at a table with no max bet. Of course the condtions would never exist, so don't try it.

Use progressions at your own peril.

What I said above (the modified D'Alembert) is an example that gives you a chance of being a shorterm winner. I used it to start my BR (was too small for counting), and quickly got out before the bubble burst.

Mr J,
Have you entertained the idea that online casino software may not be 100% "kosher". While playing basic strategy blackjack is one of the fairer (ie. low house margin) bets in a real casino,in a virtual casino, they can tickle the margin to whatever they like. With no government supervision and a high risk of being cheated, why would you bother??

Of course. Alot of the software out there is rigged. Many of the casino's do **********, ********, and rip off players. It's a minefield, you just have to know where to step.

I've played many sessions, at many casino's and have never been cheated. The longest I've ever had to wait to get paid was a few days. Do the research, find out who's honest and reputable.

I bother because I make quite a lot of money of it. Easy money.

It's also who you know, and what approach you use. I only do signups (never gamble with just my money), I have a list of good casino's that offer good bonuses, and hit them up over and over again. There's alot more to it than placing bets. Changing IDs, accounts, IP addresses, computers, photoshopping etc comes into it. To the knowledgable and experienced, it's actually one of the more profitable forms of advantage play around.
