Smug

1) Rules
use google oO you can find all rules n stuff there
But basically there are not that much rules and they differ within casinos. (when it comes to splitting cards e.g.)
Get higher card count than the dealer, but stay under 21. That's the basic rule Smug Other often depends on the casino afaik.

2) Chances
..well, BJ is the most fair casino game as far as i know. Simply cause the house has no real benefit against the player. That means you can play +-0 on very long term, in contrary to Roulette or others.
Tables like

show you how to play to play the "optimal" game.
Everything beneath gaming on basis of such a table is pure luck.
There is not much more to say about chances, except

3) Card counting
In earlier days, casinos used to have only one (or two) card deck.
This allowed clever players to count the cards in certain way and by that calculate the moment of the best chance to get BJ/high card.
With that tactic, several teams (like the famous Boston MIT Student Team which you can see in the recent movie 21) were able to rip millions of dollars out of the casinos.
Of course they realized it later and invented more decks, disabling players to count cards. In online casinos its impossible ofc.

4) Multi player
I don't know any site where you can take the dealers role, as i only know about casinos offering cash games.
But for playing with your friends on the same table (against same dealer), try www.bet365.com , i know they offer such feature. With playmoney too.
All casinos with same software will support that too, but i'm too lazy to find out which are that now.

Hope i could help you. For more questions hit me up on MSN Smug

However you try, you won't be able to count cards anymore..
...well ofc you can but it won't give you an advantage or anything..just because nowadays there are bunch of card decks. Same for online ofc.

Basically it was just working ~ like that:
They count the value of every card. When reaching certain count, it's kind very likely to happen that you get a high result, cause the cards left in the deck sum up like that.
Im not mathematic guy or something, that's why i can't explain it really in the last detail. Somehow it's wayne anyway, cause it doesn't work anymore.
Best is google for more details Smug "card counting"

Ehh and if you find something still working....hit me up on MSN Big grin

btw.

don't really get what you want to know, sorry.
For sure they mix the cards after every round.
Though i'm not sure how they make sure that you don't get like 5 aces when they use more than 1 deck. Maybe it's even allowed..probably yes.
