About Me

I've been a programmer and systems analyst for more than thirty years and like to play Blackjack for fun and profit. I absolutely hate losing money gambling and don't even consider myself a gambler because I like playing with systems where I have at least an equal chance with the house to win.

After developing several different rakeback systems for poker players, and not being a poker player myself, I wanted to develop a site where Blackjack players can benefit like poker players benefit from my other systems. If you're not familiar with poker rakeback, you can take a look at the Rakeback Manager system that is currently used by a dozen or so poker affiliates to manage the rakeback services for their players. The idea is that when you signup using one of the affiliate links, the affiliate gets paid a percentage of the rake, and then the affiliate returns a portion of the earnings back to the players in the form of cash and prizes.

Although there is no concept of rakeback in Blackjack, most casinos will pay an affiliate based on your play. As with rakeback, if you signup using my affiliate links on the casino directory page, I will be able to return a portion of those earnings back to my members, which is rather unique because all other blackjack affiliates simply take the money and run.

It is my intention to provide you with the information you need to be a successful Blackjack player. Online casinos just love the people who signup and play for real money using only an intuitive strategy -- that is, change their betting and playing strategy when it feels right. Intuitive strategies won't help you against a casino when the odds are stacked in their favor. This is somewhat ironic because even though blackjack is "beatable", the game can be far worse than slots or roulette when it’s played incorrectly. Casinos earn the bulk of their blackjack profits from three types of non-strategy players:

Beginners and casual players who don’t know that strategy exists. These people usually play short sessions and lose all their money quickly.
Another cash cow is players who don’t believe that blackjack can be beaten because they've bought into the myth that "the casino always wins in the end." Nevertheless, these folks still want to play blackjack (because gambling is fun). So they do play, but with absolutely no plan for winning. They treat it like the lottery. Their only goal is to not lose too much. And that’s how it usually goes.
The third group is folks who know that strategy works, but they prefer an unpredictable gamble. Players in this mindset enjoy following hunches and trends; they bet with intuition, and revel in surfing the whims of luck. Strategy is a total buzz-kill for them. Losing an extra $500, $1,000 or more is what they consider to be a reasonable price for a wild and crazy shot at the big money.

It’s perfectly okay to be a novice, be spontaneous, or to play with no expectation of winning. Strategy is not for everyone, and winning isn’t everything. People should spend their leisure money in whatever way makes them happy. After all, blackjack is only a game. What’s the point of playing if you’re not having fun?

So, take some time to read through the information on this site. When you are comfortable, use the links on the casino page to signup at one of my approved online casinos (they are approved because I check for blacklisted casinos before I will add them to the directory).

Regards,
Phil

Warning: Before you signup for any Casino, make sure it isn't listed on someone's blacklist. You can search for "blacklisted casinos" using your favorite search engine.
