I just started a similar thread in the Math section, and realized that the same question would be appropriate for this section.

I've seen Rainman, and I often go to a casino, but only for the buffet. I never gamble.

From what I understand, it is possible to gain an advantage in Blackjack, if you are good at remembering cards that have been dealt.

Has anyone here either been successful or unsuccessful at Blackjack?

My short term memory is so terrible, I don't think I'd be able to "count cards".

Besides the fact that Rainman is mostly just a stereotype anyway :roll:

Are there any computer programs that are recommended for learning the game?

Well, I tried this game:

It is fortunate that I wasn't playing for real money. I can see where this game can get to be absorbing, and where you can lose a great deal of money in a short amount of time.
