Dear Craig, You cannot rule out the possibility of bad luck. Arnold Snyder, in his blackjack column in Casino Player magazine, has written about card counters who have experienced very long (multi-year) losing streaks. Are you sure that the online blackjack games you're playing in are simulating a shoe-dealt game? All of the online blackjack games I've heard of, in effect, shuffle after every hand. In this case, card counting doesn't give you any advantage and, in fact, puts you at a disadvantage. You think the odds are in your favor when you think the count is high, but the count and the odds never really change. This would explain why you always lose your bankroll online but never at a real casino. In the real casino, the odds really are in your favor when the count is high. Your best bet is to stick with basic strategy and skip the card counting when playing online. Best of luck in the casinos!
