Answer
Greetings Alan:

Thank you for the opportunity to help you.

The best advice and tips I can give anyone regarding, “online blackjack” is this.
NO!  Do not play or engage in any form of online Blackjack.  PERIOD!

It has been proven that, online access to any form of gambling is just too easy!  The word easy is not used in regard to the simplicity of the game, it is used with regard to “easy to lose” and I mean your whole bank account!  The access is there 24/7 and that is dangerous, extremely dangerous.
You will find yourself playing far too much!  You find yourself, “adding funds” far too much.

Casino style Blackjack requires a trip to the casino, a physical effort.  After a session or two one usually goes back home.  Your next visit is determined by your physical effort to return again.

Online Blackjack is at your fingertips 24/7 and as we all know, too much of anything is not good.

I have many friends and clients that have ventured down the path of online gambling.
Not one of them returned happy!  Bare this in mind when you make the decision as to join a site or not.  37% of all bankruptcies are affiliated in some way with gambling.

I hope by giving you my feeling about this subject you will be better equipped to make a valid decision about your online experiences.

Beast regards,
Michael,
