I'm totally against casino gambling, but am all out for the
development of one or two integrated resort casinos in
S'pore.
I would like to share the basic strategy on how to play Blackjack
for the benefit of those compulsive gamblers.
Believe me knowing the basic strategy is not enough to beat the
casino, but it would probably help you to last longer on your
play.
To win from the casino in Blackjack, one must master the art of
card-counting. Once you become a card-counting expert, then you
would have a 5% advantage over the casino. Needless to say the
longer we play or "work" the more we profit.
For those compulsive gamblers, I hope you find my Blackjack
strategy useful and helpful.
