1. wedgie copied my answers did not 2.Try poker; the only game in the casino where you don't play against the house. There is an old saying, If you look around the poker table and can't identify the sucker......it's you.

I had a dealer in Vegas teach me how to win at blackjack. Thought maybe you all would like in on the insider info. This isn't a joke... Rule No.1) You can't beat a hot dealer. Don't even sit down when you see the dealer is hot. You can have 20, and the hot dealer will hit 21 every time. It's uncanny....but true. Rule No.2) You win with a cold dealer. Just make sure you don't bust, and you'll just keep on winning. You can even take rediculous chances and do things like splitting a pair of facecards with a cold dealer...even hold on 12 in the split...You're betting the dealer will bust. Rule No.3) Taking rule one and two into account. Just walk around the casino when they aren't busy. Look for a cold dealer. Sit down and take some money. As soon as the dealer turns hot, get up from the table. These rules work... It seems rediculous... But works... And no systems override these rules. I've had personal experience with this working. The only problem is, these days in Vegas, it's too often too busy to make this work. The darn tables are flooded by fools giving their money away to the house. I've found that about 5 am and pm are the best times to try. Since I've found these to be the least busy times at the tables. Hope this helps? Raple
