There are literally hundreds of gambling-oriented and blackjack web sites, most of which are trying with all kinds of gimmicks and fancy/flashing images to grab your attention. Many of these web sites are sales oriented - which is understandable after all, as it costs money to build and maintain a website. Some offer free information (like this website), and some make you pay for it. A few are run as hobbies and genuinely attempt to provide useful information to gamblers surfing the Net. Many web sites offering casino gambling information have Internet casino affiliations, that is they take a cut of each gamblers' losses or a percentage of initial and subsequent deposits of gamblers they recommend or direct to their client casinos. Although there is nothing inherently bad about this (it's really no different than advertising on Televsion), be careful of a potential conflict of interest, and regard it as a normal business decision. Make sure the web site has your interests at heart and not the casino's. On the other hand, some Internet casinos recruit noted gambling authors to write articles and answer players' questions about the games. Many gambling-oriented sites on the web are sponsored and paid for by Internet casinos. |
