Is there any tips you can share to us all about how you won your game ? did you use martingale or a new strategy or you're just being lucky enough ?

Aside from using basic blackjack strategy, I'd say my strategy has to do with tracking streaks, especially losing streaks. The last time I played, looking at my hands, it was significantly more likely that I would lose 3 hands in a row rather than winning after two losing hands. Sometimes these streaks lasted for 8 hands in a row. After two losses in a row, I minimized my bets to 1mBtc. Similarly, I played winning streaks by increasing my bets after 2 winning hands in a row sometimes betting very aggressively, 100mBtc per seat (300mBtc total).

I think keeping track of my hands really just takes the emotion out of it, sometimes taking a few minutes in between hands to analyze my data and see what has been going on. I don't really think the statistics are very indicative of what is to happen, but it is a great way to analyze how you have been playing and make decisions from there.

Yesterday I played again and profited 0.9 BTC  Grin So far I have profited 5.02 BTC total.

Great job man! Better set aside ~3.5BTC to save. Wouldn't want a losing streak forcing you to consider betting everything.  Smiley

okay, I lied about not playing again  Tongue... I just put in 2BTC and cashed out with 2.62BTC. This time was a real battle. 270 hands played, 55% win/push on the left and center hands, 51% on the right. I had some really long losing streaks, and actually got down to about 0.2 BTC before having a very nice winning streak up to 2.62 before I called it a night and cashed out.

Its always a good thing to stop while ahead in gambling. I gave up gambling a while ago and only play poker.
Its the most important lesson I could take away from it.

thats pretty mind blowing if you can do this on a daily basis..

youd be a high roller in no time for sure..

I didn't read through the 4 pages. Did he do it again?

Haven't played again since I cashed out, but I probably will after I get back from vacation in January.

just curious, what casino is the screen cap?

how does one achieve this? teach me  Cheesy

It's in the tread title  Roll Eyes BetChain!! Seriously it just took a ton of patience and following basic blackjack strategy while keeping track of my win/push vs loss statistics to gauge my bets.

jofus87, that's the way to do it!

Congrats and thanks for sharing your story!

Good Luck to all!

Congrats to you buddy! I have never had any luck with BJ  Wink

I wonder if it is possible to use the counting cards techniques they always talk about in movies and all at on-line casinos.

You can't really count in online casinos. They are continuous shuffle and don't know # of decks

This.  It's impossible to count cards in online casinos, because they automatically shuffle the deck(s) after every hand.

I made more than 5 bitcoins from 0.1 bitcoins betting on on-chain betting. Don't believe me? Check out my old wallet.

Hey first, congrats on your win man!  And good on you for walking away when you were up. 

If anyone wants me to, I am happy to try to duplicate this, but it won't be solely on Blackjack.  I'll do it on dice, roulette, etc.

And it'll probably take me around 1-3 weeks to turn 1 BTC into 4.5 BTC.

If anyone wants to see me try this, let me know.


I will definitely follow that thread.
I think that such info is important for everybody that gambles - from big bucks to pennies, for profit or for fun.

Are you the same guy saying that he knows how to win in coinsweeper?

Nope, not me.

Always wondered... Thanks!



For the guys who want to try it out, remember to track your hands. The spreadsheet I made was pretty simple, just counted "W" "L" or "P" (win, loss, or push) for each seat and divided  (W+P)/(W+P+L) to find out the percentage of non-losing hands. You could just count a push as a win if you want, but I like keeping them separate in order to track winning streaks. Have patience, and I mean PATIENCE. I played well over 12 hours over the days I was playing.

OH! Make sure you have enough to cover a long losing streak. They WILL happen. I played with 30-40X my bet, but general BJ strategy actually suggests 100X. This also helps you with the emotional aspect. It doesn't "hurt" as much to lose 1/100th of your stack so you can stick to strategy without tilting. The worst losses I suffered were when I was trying to make my money back. Just put in the time and stay consistent, and it should pay off.
