Blackjack games played at an online casino can be so exciting that many players forget all about winning and simply fritter away their bankrolls.

In order to avoid this common scenario (that is typical of playing any online casino game), it is good to remember the following basic tips that will help minimize your losses.

Always remember that online casino blackjack is not a game just a game of luck, it is also a game of strategy.

It involves utilizing a number of skill set talents such as calculating odds, addition, focus, concentration and discipline over one’s emotions. Those split decisions made in a fast paced game of casino blackjack can really cost you, so use your head not your heart when gambling!

Sometimes players in an online game of blackjack get a bit mesmerized by all the buttons and gizmos.

Many online casino games, such as Ladbrokes casino, William Hill casino and Littlebrooks casino also have online chats that can also distract you from focusing on the game. The key to making a profit is concentration on the cards, not on how to configure the latest expression icon using your typewriter keys!

Keep in mind that the object of the game is to beat the dealer, not necessarily achieve 21. If you suspect that achieving 21 buy drawing another card will bust you then do it. In fact it is always a good idea to stand if you have 14, especially if your dealer has low cards that are likely to bust.

Remember that it is mathematically not possible to keep winning an online casino blackjack hand indefinitely. If you join at table where the cards seem to be friendly to the players, then you might want to leave and join another table on the casino site.

This is because odds are that the table will soon start showing cards that are more friendly to the dealer.

Most uk online casinos offer insurance. This is when the dealer pulls a ten or an ace and the online casino dealer offers you to bet on whether or not the house will achieve blackjack. Never take insurance when offered.

Only take insurance if your intuition is telling you it is a sure thing or if you have seen all the Aces go by during past hands and you don’t think there is an Ace left in the decks.

Part of good strategy when playing online in a casino is realizing that losing is part of the game and taking it in stride. When it comes to gambling, your desperation is one thing that can be capitalized on!

The key is to play strategically so that the house advantage remains at 1%. If you play emotionally the house’s advantage can rise to be as much as 3%! Know when your behavior has increased the online casino’s house advantage and learn to walk away from the table.

A spokesman for the retailer said the new endeavour would give Woolworths consumers a new and entertaining service from a brand they both know and trust.

Jim Ryan, formerly the head man at Excapsa, recently joined St. Minver as CEO of the white label provider, which now has some 20 licensees.

The Gambling Dispute between Antigua and the USA Hots up as Miriam Habtesellasie Antigua & Barbuda’s Minister of Finance and the Economy, Dr. Errol Cort, revealed that the Caribbean island has presented a complaint to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) over reported leaks from U.S. officials on what was deemed to be a confidential initial report by the WTO.

The final report of the WTO’s Dispute Settlement Body on the four-year-old legal battle between Antigua & Barbuda and the US on America’s internet gambling restrictions, a key source of revenue for the island, is due to be released tomorrow.

Antigua & Barbuda first brought their case to the WTO in 2003 arguing that US laws blocking the placing of bets across states lines by electronic means infringed WTO rules.

“The WTO had specifically said to all parties that… no party should say anything in respect of the matter. Unfortunately the US has gone and they have said a lot of things and we have protested,� remarked Cort.

“We’ve written to the WTO that while all parties were asked to remain confidential in terms of the interim report, we have kept our side, but the US has not.�

Cort also said that the WTO has since reiterated its request to both parties that the report remain classified until it is finally published.

US limits on online gambling may be challenged by the European Union, according one of its top financial regulators.

The introduction in the US, of the much talked about Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) has resulted in several British online gambling firms being forced out of the US market. In recent weeks, members of the EU have cast a dubious eye over the American government’s motives for introducing the Act.

‘In my view it is probably a restrictive practice and we might take it up in another fora,’ EU Internal Market Commissioner Charlie McCreevy told the European Parliament.

McCreevy went on to mention that the US was safeguarding its own gambling industry by preventing foreign companies from entering the online betting sector. ‘It’s not my intention to bring forward a harmonised piece of legislation on gambling in the European Union,’ McCreevy added.

The EU trade commissioner later told the media that the US rules were a ‘prima facie’ case of protectionism and that the World Trade Organisation was a possible forum for tackling them.

McCreevy has previously launched legal actions against several EU countries in an attempt to deal with obstacles to foreign competition.

Reports are circulating that Ladbrokes’ proposed £490 million takeover of online casino group 888 could be wrapped up as early as next week, following more than a month of talks between the two parties.

The takeover of 888, which has seen interest from rivals William Hill and PartyGaming, is expected to be pitched at between 140p and 145p a share, netting millions for the two sets of brothers who founded the internet poker and casino group.

Aaron and Avi Shaked and Shay and Ron Ben-Yitzhak still own about two-thirds of 888, worth over £300m, although it is not known whether they will sell out completely or take a share in Ladbrokes.

The bookmaker signalled its intent to buy 888 following the sector collapse in the wake of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in the US, which stalled early takeover talks between 888 and PartyGaming.
