In advance of setting up this Blog, I decided to deposit $300.00 on account with bodoglife.com on Valentine’s Day February 14, 2008, with an eye towards achieving a target goal of $5,000.00 There was no bonus expected or received with regards the aforementioned deposit as I feel bonuses of any kind and casinos are a losing combination from the start. Inasmuch as I wanted to treat this experiment as a primer for those unfamiliar with Trend Analysis and the Cipher program, I reasoned that an Average Joe’s start of $300.00 would be more easily related to by the masses than that of the oftentimes larger amounts that I play with in advising offshore players in legal jurisdictions through a worldwide venue of Cipher labs.
Lastly, for clarity purposes, I decided to memorialize every single detail of these sessions through the means of the Camtasia video capture program.What took place over the ensuing fifteen days is now affectionately referred to here at the Cipher Lab as the Saint Valentine’s Day massacre.
In summation, a total of 76 sessions were played from February 14 to February 29 while recording a win-loss record of 72 wins and just 4 losses with an overall net profit of $12,279.50. Additionally, the average net profit per session came in at $161.58 and was achieved by utilizing a starting wager on each session of $1.00 with larger plays being placed on subsequent hands where indicated by reading the Trend Analysis panel of the Cipher program. In short, the initial $300.00 deposit resulted in a total play-through amount over the course of the 76 sessions of $54,487.50 with a total of 1,369 hands being played with an average per hand profit of $9.19 being achieved.
A quick study of BD25, where an $843.00 loss occurred, provides a good lesson as to why it is all important not to become impatient in wagering too much too soon regardless of how well the user of the Cipher program is at reading and analyzing the trend analysis recorded by the Cipher program. The name of the game in this business is to keep it lean and mean. The remaining sessions (BD26 through BD77) resulted in recouping the aforementioned $843.00 loss while easily reaching and surpassing the original $5,000.00 target goal as I returned to more prudent betting amounts and I.S.O.C. (In Search of a C note) play.
It’s been one hell of a ride since the advent of the Internet and particularly the meteoric rise and now near catastrophic fall of Internet gambling thanks in no small part to the passage of the UIGEA legislation signed into law (As part of the Safe Port Security Act) on October 13, 2006. http://www.playwinningpoker.com/
I hasten to add that this piece of “JUNK” legislation was in fact passed at midnight on the last day of the session and prior to Congress adjourning for the 2006 elections, and it should be further noted that this piece of “JUNK” legislation has yet (as of February 24, 2008) to be implemented.
Moreover, I have serious doubts that this piece of “JUNK” legislation will ever be implemented given the extreme costs that are sure to be borne by the banks and financial institutions, i.e., VISA & MASTERCARD (and ultimately passed on to consumers such as you and I again). In the cost of verifying the billions of electronic payment transfers and checks from overseas businesses, legal or otherwise, a spur of the moment determination will need to be made by your bank so as to insure that those funds were not derived from “illegal offshore gambling.” In short, your bank and mine will become more or less deputized Morality Agents for the United States Department of Justice. Now there’s a pleasant thought!

Back to the Blackjack blog and why we’re here. For nearly 10 years now, I’ve garnered a reputation for being a pretty decent Blackjack player and in advising other players in successful Blackjack play on the Internet through utilizing a computer program that I developed and co-authored by the name of CIPHER.
Since the passing of the aforementioned “SAFE PORT SECURITY ACT,” pretty much all of my Blackjack play has been for individuals in offshore legal jurisdictions, most of whom I advise on pretty much a daily basis through a series of CIPHER Labs.
Here at the Blackjack Blog, you’ll find a great deal of empirical data relative to the field of Internet Blackjack. That data is uniquely supported and infinitely verified through the utilization of the Camtasia real-time video capture program coupled with the exclusive use of the Cipher tracking system that I’ve developed in actual real money play for better than nine years now.
