“You have to make the choice in life: be a gambler or a croupier, and then live with your decision.” These were the words uttered by the character Jack Manfred in the UK film noir movie, ‘Croupier’. Living with your decision is a skill any live blackjack player needs to learn. As every decision can be the difference between a losing a hand or winning a blackjack bonus.
With the rise of popularity in online casinos and an abundance of blackjack games appearing in popular movies, live online blackjack is becoming ever more popular. Perhaps therefore the regular live blackjack player can learn a thing or two about how to score a big blackjack bonuses directly from the film itself. Lets take a look.
Many blackjack moves have depicted the importance of card counting. The recent blackjack movie, ‘21’, starring Kevin Spacey depicted how card counting is done and the consequences of getting caught. Card counting in live blackjack is the act of keeping track of the number of each valued card that has been dealt. It will help the live blackjack player to make informed decisions about the chances of a bonus blackjack card being dealt.
However, card counting for the sake of improving your odds for winning a blackjack bonus is a skill that relies on memory and takes a lot of practice and training. That is of course unless you have an incredible memory, such as the autistic character Raymond, as played by Dustin Hoffman in ‘Rainman’. Many live online blackjack players have enjoyed the scene in the movie where Raymond’s acute memory helps Charlie (played by Tom Cruise) to remember the cards and win a big blackjack bonus.
The one best thing any online blackjack player can learn from a movie is that it’s a game of strategy and above all, thrill.
