Hey All

Is playing Blackjack online a viable option for using the basic strategy profitably? Or Does the strategy only work in land-based casinos?

Most online casinos use continuous shuffle, which makes counting irrelevant. Some that don't do that have been known to deny payouts to suspected counters. In my opinion, you are better off trying it at a land based casino.

Using just Basic Strategy is almost never profitable in a casino or online. All Basic Strategy does is get you to the point of losing as little as possible.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.
