It’s that time of year folks! The weather is heating up, so there’s only one place to be – the casino! Not literally, of course, my wife would kill me. So what I like to do is keep the missus happy as well as quench my thirst for blackjack by heading abroad for some quality time in the sun, making sure I bring my trusty laptop with me.
My friends know I can make a living from playing blackjack, but they often don’t believe me when I tell them that online blackjack can be just as thrilling an experience as playing in a real casino. And ‘real’ is the operative word here. Some people may not consider playing online to be real but, trust me, the money and the payouts are very, very real.
Where you decide to play can really help you also, especially in terms of making you feel comfortable and setting the right mood. For example, there is nothing stopping you from staying in bed and attempting to play your cards right under the duvet or, as I’ll be doing this summer, attempting to pick up some extra holiday money on a beach somewhere exotic or by the hotel pool.
I’m torn between going to the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. I know that my wife is slightly less keen on the latter – believe it or not – because they have a wealth of offline casinos she’s worried I’ll skulk off to during the day. But I’m not so sure about the Mediterranean as we’ve been there before and at my age I’m a little bit bored of package holidays to places everybody has already been to. Basically, I’m not interested in sharing our hotel with a bunch of 20-year-olds. Perhaps my wife’s grandma was right – we should try ‘one of those Danish countries’!
