Blackjack Hero's goal is to be the top blackjack site online. A website, if done the way I like to see it done, is a constantly growing entity, and I don't claim that this is the best blackjack website ever put online, but I hope that it will be in time. Ready to play now? Try these recommended casinos.
So why blackjack? It's the most popular table game in any casino. There are reasons it's popular too:
That last point is an important one. There are very few "beatable" casino and/or gambling games. Mathematically, the house always has the advantage. But there are a handful of games in which a skillful gambler (one who has really studied and learned how to play) can get an advantage:
Different games appeal to different people. You're well suited for poker if you're good at reading people, emotionally strong and able to control yourself, and you can make consistently good decisions.
Video poker is a great game for people who enjoy the solitude of slot machines but who also like to make decisions. It's also a good game for people who can consistently make 600 perfect decisions every hour.
Sportsbetting can be more profitable than any of these activities, but it also requires an incredible amount of study, insight, and knowledge in order to be a profitable wager. Most people can't or won't demonstrate the commitment necessary to make that happen.
My thinking is that blackjack is the easiest of these to learn to play well, and if you're completely new to the game of 21, I think you'll find the tutorials and lessons on how to play pretty helpful.
Online Casino Gambling for Real Money is more popular in 2024 than ever before. You can also play free casino games without risking your hard earned cash.
The foundations for online blackjack success include knowing how to play blackjack, and knowing a little bit about blackjack strategy. Card counting comes after you've mastered the basics. At the time of this writing, I'm still learning to play blackjack well, although I play better than many people.
But Stephen Covey points out that the best way to learn something is to teach it to someone else. So I'm doing the reading and the studying necessary to teach people how to play winning blackjack, and I'd imagine by the time I'm finished writing this site I'll be something of an expert player.
A complete novice at blackjack gives the casino a 2% edge over him. Mastering basic strategy can reduce that to between 0.5% and 1%. Counting cards can actually give you an advantage of 0.2% to 1%.
The menu of text links on the top and the right includes a top 10 reviews list of the best casinos online along with links to the main sections of the site. Most of those pages also have links to dozens of other articles regarding that particular black jack topic.
I've also tried to cover almost all of the major televised blackjack tournament events, including the Ultimate Blackjack Tour, episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and the World Series of Blackjack. (We cover all three seasons of the WSOB.) Update, we've just added Season 4 coverage.
Blackjack Hero doesn't just provide information about televised blackjack tournaments - I also provide the biggest and most comprehensive guide to blackjack players available on the Internet. This site features profiles of over 25 blackjack personalities, including historically important blackjack writers like Ed Thorp and Lawrence Revere, and modern blackjack figures like Ken Smith and James Grosjean. I have plans to expand this coverage to include interviews too.
I've recently increased the site's coverage of international blackjack too. Be sure to check out our new articles about free pontoon games. (Pontoon is a UK version of blackjack that's very popular) and free Las Vegas style blackjack tournaments.
Just added: Is Online Blackjack Legal? and Blackjack Myths. Also ways of improving your Blackjack Skills, overcoming Blackjack Weaknesses and information about The SAFE Port Act of 2006.
