Is this beatable?

Hi all,

Suppose I've found an online game with these rules:

8 decks,50% penetration,dealer stands on any 17,double down on any 2 initial cards,no re-splitting allowed,only one card on split aces
no double down after splitting,insurance on dealers ace offered,Blackjack pays 3 to 2,insurance pays 2 to 1,tie hands is a push.

Will it be possible to obtain an edge by counting and wonging and is there a software which will allow me to enter card values and spit back the numbers?

Beatable? Yes.

Worth it? Likely not.

It does not matter what particular GAME rules you give us. If it is an ONLINE casino, then the most important thing is their PAYMENT rules.
Most online casinos seem to have one and only one payment rule: Don't pay nothing to nobody, never.

You can be wonging and bonging to your heart's content,,, you ain't the first one to think of it and you won't be the last one to try bringing in a fast computer with the right answers. They ain't paying all those other cheaters so why should they suddenly start to pay you?

Thanks for the concern,but I should have mentioned that I'm well experienced with online casinos and sport betting sites(not to show off but I have accounts and have been playing sports for years on more sites than most of people here have even visited) and this one is OK and it will pay (at least at first).
I'm also aware of the possible outcomes of one such approach - although I plan to only bet the minimum of the lowest minimum tables my account wont last more than a month or at least I'll be backed off BJ - that's ok, I have methods to counteract and I don't care too much.

My interest at this time is only to try and figure if it will yield a positive game and try something I had long planing to.

Why not?

AWFUL penetration means you'll be back-counting lots of tables and when you do wong in, you won't have many rounds to play before the shuffle.

What are table limits? What can you even get away with (betting amounts) ?

As said earlier, can you actually get your money out of your account?

Is the online casino trustworthy? Will they take your money because you're CC?

I've been planing to bet minimum($5) only when the conditions are favorable.

Yes,for the most part.I'm kind of an expert in dealing with online casinos and betting high level account closure risk patterns(bonus hunting,arbs etc) and get away with it as much as possible.

It is trustworthy,otherwise I wouldn't even consider doing something like this.

They will try and take it if/when I'm caught as CC.But I do have experience and methods to counteract.

You're gonna wong in with a $5 bet? Either.....

A) You're gonna do this while counting all tables at the same time.
B) You know or are going to do something I don't know.
C) You're okay making like $0.02/hour.
D) You don't know what you're getting into.
