Pardon this faq, but is there a rec.gambling faq somewhere?

I'm intersted in worldwide locations for playing blackjack.

I have just got a book out from the library about the psychology of
gambling, and in it there was a 10 *10 box matrix describing the Basic
strategy for hard non-pair hands for blackjack. I have been playing the
game solidly over the weekend using 4 packs of cards, but don't seem to
be able to obtain convincing wins over the dealer.

Apparently there are two other matrices describing the best moves for
soft hands and for pairs (regarding doubling and splitting I presume).
  I would very much like to be able to make lots of money gambling
playing poker, since I  am a poor student, and there  is a sexy-looking
casino just down the road!


 My plea is for anyone out there who has had great success with
Blackjack to inform me of the best statistical moves to make when in
possession of soft hands or pairs.

    I cannot wait for any reply i might receive!

Thanks a lot

 Rhun.
