Blackjack was the first time I played at my best friend’s house. Card games were never really my thing, but in Blackjack I was an absolute ace from the start. That went so far that my best friend didn’t want to play against me anymore, because he almost always lost.

I didn’t want to give up playing blackjack and started playing against other players on the internet. At first it was quite difficult to find a suitable website online where you can play Blackjack and which is also serious. I started on kostenlosspielen.net and expanded my skills there. However, on this website I didn’t feel like playing against really strong players, so I looked for another site where I could play my beloved Blackjack.

In the end I came online to the website of de.888.com, where I could also play for real money. The great thing was that after my registration I even got a welcome bonus worth 88 Euro. So I started to play with this money and didn’t need to deposit any money at the beginning.

Now that I was playing for real money, it was always important to me to play Blackjack at home in a quiet environment and not on the way or between door and hinge.

Of course, Blackjack is a game of chance, but it requires a certain strategy, where you have to keep an eye on your opponent’s cards as well as your own, in order to estimate your chances of winning.

In the first games I gambled around relatively small amounts of money, which did not exceed the limit of 10 Euro. But after several wins my self-confidence grew and I gambled up to 100 Euro in one game. Since I always won the games, it shocked me all the more when I lost one where I had bet 92 Euro. This loss brought me back to the ground and showed me that I am not immune to losing a game despite the many wins. After all, winning Blackjack is often just a matter of luck.

After the loss, I thought for a long time whether I should continue playing or not. My best friend then advised me to play one last game where I should bet the last of my 888 Casino balance. If I won this game again, I would continue to try my luck in Blackjack. However, if I lost the game, I would keep my hands off gambling from now on. I listened to his advice and was more nervous than ever just before the game. Of course, there was always a certain nervousness when I played blackjack. I had this excitement to go on after every game I won and every time I did, my self-confidence and willingness to take risks increased as well. Maybe that was exactly what made me lose in the end. Anyway, I played my last game with the remaining credit and lost. At first, I couldn’t believe it and wanted to pay in new money directly in order to continue playing, but that wouldn’t have helped either. At some point I really had the feeling that I could always control the whole game and just win, but that was a mistake. As long as I won, I had a lot of fun playing blackjack and I didn’t want to stop. Blackjack has always been a lot of fun for me, but the loss of money hurt me too much.
