Mark now writes a nationally syndicated gambling column, is a university lecturer, reviewer and contributing editor for numerous gaming periodicals. A new column is posted every Sunday. Dear Mark, For the past two years, I have been learning blackjack on a 25 video blackjack machine. No pun intended. Any helpful tips would be appreciated.
Most players never learn the game before they sit down and play their first hand.
You're different, Joyce. You cultured the game on a 25-cent video blackjack machine. You did not let a five-dollar blackjack game be your classroom, at twenty times the tuition fee. You realized the advantage of a video blackjack machine versus a live game is the low minimum bankroll requirement needed to play. Hat's off to your astute training technique.
