Gambling addiction is nothing new, but disturbing trends show that more and more teenagers are gambling on and offline. Studies show that over 70% of American youth between 13 and 17 has gambled at some point in their lives. With easy access to parents credit cards and the fact that online gambling is virtually unregulated makes you wonder how much of the $3.5 Billion dollars gambled online in 2002 was done so by teenagers. Studies show that teenagers who gamble are more likely to smoke, drink and do drugs.
Studies in 2001 showed that the average online user was not that satisfied with their online gambling experience. Studies show that 31% of online gamblers were not that happy with their chosen casino. To make matters worse is that only 15% of casino frequenters say that online gambling is more fun than stepping foot into a real casino. Casinos are working on these issues everyday and you can frequently see “fun”updates to online casinos. The worst news for online casinos is that the average gambler only spends $10 at the casino during each session.

Choosing the right table to play blackjack at is just as vital for your cash flow as making the right plays. Things to consider when deciding on a casino or table are:
1) Fewest decks possible. Single deck is ideal for counting.
2) The dealer stands on all 17s.
3) Doubling Down is permitted on any first 2 cards.
4) Doubling Down is allowed after Splitting.
5) Surrender is offered.
Also check to see how deep a dealer penetrates into a deck before reshuffling. You should never play a table where the dealer penetrates less than 50% or 60%.
