First post - Recommendations for online BJ games

Hello Board!

I've been lurking on this board for awhile, and I decided to jump into the fray with my first post.

I've done some searching through the archives, but I haven't found much conversation about online casinos. If you guys play BJ online, which casinos do you recommend? I'm not really looking for good bonuses since the WR are pretty onerous in some cases, so I'm mainly looking for fast and reliable payouts (aren't we all?), and the games with the best advantage.

Thanks in advance for your help! :)

I will not waste any effort here except to say, in short, even assuming total honesty from the online site, the online games cannot be beaten as they all shuffle after EVERY hand; making card counting or shuffle tracking or any form of advantage play completely impossible.

Good message Flash, right on the button. But unfortunately it will never be heard by 99.99% of the vast and quickly-growing legions of on-line players (losers) who get their kicks sitting at their computers which are hooked up to a virtual casino, in their own comfortable den.

Many of these suckers were probably hooked initially by the sucker trap which goes: "Play Blackjack here free for one hour and if you win, you get to keep (some small % of) your (virtual) winnings.

With an in-headquarters button push or two, the house edge % can easily be biased heavily in your favor, instantly proving to your ego what a great BJ player you are, and always were. Is your credit card handy now?
How about this quote I got recently, concerning their fabulous slots:
"Don't let this winning opportunity pass you by; you are seconds away from winning millions."
Just seconds? Yes yes yes. I believe! Who can resist such a juicy invitation? (THEIR slots are the loosest in the universe!)
Buyer beware! NB

You seem to lean against online casinos. lol

Thanks for confirming what I'd already suspected. :)

Hey Comm, Here are a few questions I have asked and answered myself. See if you can answer some differently from me.
There could be good, average and bad online casinos, from a player perspective. So how do I know which is which? I don't.

Are the 'good' ones honest and operated with integrity? I hope.
Do they program their computers at say, BJ so as to give the sucker, oops, I mean player, at least an even break? I doubt it but I have no idea what their programmers are instructed.

Are they regulated by governments or authorities? I don't think so, but again, I have no idea. They seem to be 'self-regulated' whatever that means, safe in their off-shore HQ.
Can they arrange their mother computers so as to set the house edge on whatever game making it virtually impossible for players to win?
I have no idea, but I suspect so.

Do I trust them? No. Should I trust them? Nope.
Do I play with them. Nope.

I can think of one good thing about online casinos. There is no BJ pit heat! But what you get instead is a doubtful game run by doubtful mystery people, making it extremely doubtful you will end up in front playing in, and on, their dunghill, with their doubtful rules.

Here is a quote I found from someone who has studied and knows a thing or two about online casinos:

"Virtual casinos are the hardcore crack cocaine of gambling."
Dr. Howard Schaeffer, Harvard Center for Addictive Studies

Yep, I reckon so. NB
