Counting Cards: Is This A Viable Strategy For Live Online Blackjack Games?

The Australian casino scene is without doubt, one of the biggest growing industry in the world. It was reported that this industry managed to gain as much as billion in terms of social surplus with the main beneficiaries being casino players. Besides international tourists who spent as much as million in the year 2008 (the amount is expected to rise to over 0 million by the end of 2010), Australian players are also spending a fair amount at their favorite casinos.

But what about online casinos? So far, there hasn’t been official figures released when it comes to online casino activities but the amount is expected to sky rocket day after day, especially with the popularity of live online gaming. Live online gaming offers a cornucopia of games such as live online blackjack, live online poker and online blackjack to discerning players who want to try something new yet exciting. Unlike conventional gambling in brick and mortar casinos, live online gambling features real time game play with real life dealers dealing cards. For example, in a blackjack game, you will encounter online blackjack dealers. These online blackjack will deal cards in a casino-like environment and whatever they do will be projected to players “virtually” so that they feel as if they are in the casino in front of the online blackjack themselves.

Naturally, live online players will want to find the best strategy in order to gain even a little bit of edge over the House. Some resort to scouring the Web for live online cheats, but most joined the fray and wanted to study card counting.

However, the practice of card counting is not for everyone. For one, there is a great deal of memorizing and studying prior to becoming a card counting maverick, akin to the real life card counting experts in the based-on-real-story movie “21”.

Moreover, experts say that card counting is NOT a viable practice in live online gambling especially in live online blackjack where online blackjack are present. Card counting may offer a little bit of edge over the House in typical online blackjack games where the RNG or Random Number Generator is used, but not so where real online blackjack are employed. Most live online casinos discouraged card counting by introducing six to eight decks of cards. Once four decks or less is left in the shoe, the online blackjack would then reshuffle the entire eight decks of cards. Some live online casinos do not wait for that happen - instead, they reshuffle at totally random intervals.

In the end we can conclude that card counting is not for live online gaming fans, but players can employ proper tactics and strategies as well as a dash of good luck to emerge victorious.
