At Camp Blackjack we have over 1,000 acres of beautiful property in the heart of Central Florida. We specialize in deer, hog, turkey and predator hunts.
Kendall Windham started wrestling in 1985 for Championship Wrestling from Florida. He was very skinny but had the same moves and looks as his older brother, Barry. In his early days, he was a good guy (face) and teamed with Barry to feud with Ron Bass, Jack Hart and Kevin Sullivan’s ’cult’. His biggest singles feuds were with White Ninja AKA Great Muta and The Cuban Assassin. He traded the Florida Heavyweight Title a few times with each of them.Jim Crockett Promotions / World Championship Wrestling (1987-1989)[edit]
In 1987, he ventured to the NWA’s Jim Crockett Promotions where he teamed with The Italian Stallion and feuded with the MOD Squad, Spike & Basher. He never got above preliminary status and went to WCCW briefly at the end of 1988.[3] In January 1989, he was back in the NWA teaming with another second generation wrestler, Dustin Rhodes, as the ’Texas Broncos’.[4] In a match aired on January 28, 1989, Kendall teamed with Eddie Gilbert against his brother Barry and James J. Dillon of the Four Horsemen.[4] Kendall turned on Gilbert and joined Barry and held up the four fingers to the camera.[4] Before the next show, Dillon left for the WWF and the Horsemen name was dropped. The Windhams and Flair were given a new manager, Hiro Matsuda, and a new stable name, ’Yamasaki Corporation’.[4] Kendall stayed with the stable (which grew to include Butch Reed and Michael Hayes) until the summer, when he left for Florida again.[4]Championship Wrestling from Florida (1989-1990)[edit]
On June 27, 1989, Windham won the FCW Heavyweight Championship from Dustin Rhodes. He obtained a new manager, Oliver Humperdink, and feuded with Rhodes. He soon left Humperdink for Robert Fuller’s Stud Stable and by the end of 1989, was a member of Ron Slinker’s ’Strike Command’. In 1990, he left Slinker and teamed with Fuller to win the Tag Team Titles, Upon losing them, they split and feuded.Various promotions[edit]
Windham returned to wrestling in 1992 for Florida’s ICWA promotion where he feuded with Pat Tanaka. He had put on some more weight in prison and was considered a heavyweight instead of a light heavyweight. He teamed with Dan Spivey for a tour of All Japan Pro Wrestling and spent a little time in WCW in 1994 and ECW in 1995.World Championship Wrestling (1997-1999)[edit]
Windham returned to WCW in 1997 with his head shaved and feuded with Chris Adams and Jim Duggan.[5] In 1999, when WCW created a hardcore division, he entered it briefly and feuded with Hardcore Hak.[5] In June, Windham joined The West Texas Rednecks in what would be the biggest push of his career. The Rednecks were his brother Barry, Curt Hennig and Bobby Duncum Jr.[5] They were supposed to be heels feuding with Master P’s rappers, the ’No Limit Soldiers’, but the southern fans of WCW cheered the Rednecks instead.[5] The angle was quickly dropped and they moved on to a feud with ’Harlem Heat’ (Booker T and Stevie Ray).[5] Kendall and Barry defeated Harlem Heat for the WCW World Tag Team Title’s but lost them back to Harlem Heat three weeks later.[5]Late career (1999-2002)[edit]
By the end of 1999, they all had left WCW and Kendall worked for Ted DiBiase’s promotion WXO, WWC (where he won the tag title with Barry) and All Japan Pro Wrestling where he closed out his career tagging with his brother Barry in the AJPW Real World Tag League 2000. Kendall Windhams last match took place on December 16, 2000 where he and his brother Barry Windham lost the WWC Tag Team Titles to the team of Thunder ’N’ Lightning.
Windham retired in 2002.[1]Personal life[edit]
Mike Rotunda is married to Windham’s sister. His nephews, Windham and Taylor, wrestle for WWE as Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas respectively.[6] He has a son named Wyatt.[citation needed] He is currently president of a security business in Brandon, Florida.[2]
In 1990, Windham and his father Blackjack Mulligan were arrested by the US Secret Service in a joint investigation with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) for counterfeiting. The authorities found close to $500,000 in phony $20 bills. As a result of a plea agreement, both father and son spent 24 months in a federal prison and were released in 1992.[7]Championships and accomplishments[edit]

Blackjack entices and excites millions of people all over the world as a staple at most casinos. It has also made a smooth transition into the world of blackjack online casinos, where playing blackjack online for real money becomes more popular by the day. Our guide to online blackjack will have you covered in every possible way.
Walk into any casino and you’re likely to see a very busy blackjack section. That can be intimidating if you don’t know the rules, the protocol, or even the etiquette of how to play blackjack at a casino, let alone playing blackjack online.
The good news is that it’s not that hard to learn how to play blackjack online, which people sometimes call “21” due to rules of blackjack. Once you learn how to play blackjack online, you’re going to find out that it’s a game that actually provides solid payback to those who play it with the right strategy.
On top of that, playing blackjack online is something you can do from the comfort of your own home. Just settle in with your connected device and play blackjack for real money online.
In our guide to online blackjack, we have sections that will talk about the history of the blackjack and how to play with proper strategy. We’ll also be looking into how you can play blackjack games online for free and for real money. Click on one of the buttons below to get started learning about online blackjack.The Origins of Blackjack
As is the case with many types of online casino games, there’s no clear path that shows how blackjack began then traveled through the ages. Yet there are some examples in history of games that certainly had an influence on the various types of online blackjack as we know it today.
Depending on your source, you might find Italy, Spain, and France all listed as possible sites where modern blackjack originated. In the case of the Italians, they featured a game where the goal was to reach a value of 31 without going over, which is similar to blackjack. There are references to this game that are over 500 years old.Spain’s brilliant author Cervantes (of Don Quixote fame) made reference to the game called “Veintiuna,” which is Spanish for “21,” in the early 17th century. Meanwhile, France’s own “Vingt-et-Un” showed up about a century later in French casinos.
All of these games had similarities to what we now know as online blackjack, but there were many differences as well. It wasn’t until the 20th century, when casinos took hold in America, did the modern rules of blackjack develop.
As for the name blackjack, well, that came from the early 20th century practice of casinos offering 10 to 1 odds for any hand where 21 was reached with a jack and the ace of spades. Eventually, those rules were fine-tuned to create the version of modern blackjack online we all love today.How to Play Online Blackjack
When asking someone about how to play blackjack online, you’ll hear many people make the mistake of saying that the goal of blackjack is to have the value of your cards reach as close to 21 as possible without going over. But that’s technically incorrect. The goal of blackjack, which is to win money in return for what you wager, can only be achieved when you beat the dealer.
Keep in mind as we give you these online blackjack basics that there are many different blackjack games, in casinos and on the internet, that have slightly different characteristics. But for the sake of these instructions, we’re going to stick to the most common version of the game as you learn how to play online blackjack.Blackjack Card Values
First, it’s important to know the point value of each card you can receive in a hand of blackjack online. Let’s take a look.
*Two = 2
*Three = 3
*Four = 4
*Five = 5
*Six = 6
*Seven = 7
*Eight = 8
*Nine = 9
*Ten = 10
*Jack = 10
*Queen = 10
*King = 10
*Ace = 1 or 11
Online Blackjack can be played with just a single gambler at a table against the dealer. Most tables house spots for as many as seven players.
In the case of land-based casinos, the dealer will deal cards to each player from a “shoe,” which is a kind of automatic card dispenser holding multiple decks. Each player receives two cards face up, while the dealer gets one card face up and one face down.Winning or Losing a Blackjack Hand Online
There are three ways you can win a hand of blackjack.
*End up with a value in your hand higher than the dealer without exceeding 21
*End up with 21 based on the two cards that you’ve dealt before the dealer can make 21 with more than two cards
*Have the dealer go over 21 with the value of his cards
When #1 or #3 occur, you’ll win the value of your bet. If example #2 occurs, which is known as a blackjack, you will be paid off at odds of 3 to 2. A “blackjack” can only occur with an ace (11 points) and a ten, jack, queen, or king (10 points) as the two cards you’re dealt.You can also tie the hand, known as a push, if you and the dealer end up with the same point value at the end of the hand.
In that case, you get your bet back but no real money winnings. That will occur also if you and the online dealer both have blackjack with your two-card deals.
You will lose your online blackjack wager if you end up with a lower point value than the dealer with neither of you going over 21. In addition, you’ll lose if the value of your cards eventually goes over 21, which is known as a bust.Playing Your Blackjack Hand
When you receive your two cards, you’ll add up their value. For example, if you receive a king and a three, the value is 10 + 3, or 13.
After receiving the two cards, you’ll have several options to complete the hand.
*Hit: You could add to your point total by asking for another card. Keep in mind that you can hit multiple times and keep doing this as long as you don’t go over 21 and bust.
*Stand: You can refuse any other action on your hand and stick with the point total you have. A stand, also sometimes called a stick or a stay, can happen after your two-card deal. Or you can stand at any point after you’ve just hit in a game of online blackjack.
*Split: If you receive two cards with the same point value on the deal, you can split them into two different hands. This requires doubling your original bet. When you split, you’ll receive another card for each of these two new hands then continue to play out the hands in any manner you wish.
*Double: You can double the size of your initial real money blackjack bet for the hand you’re playing. When you do this, you will receive just one more card from the dealer to complete your hand.
*Insurance: This is a separate wager of up to half of your original bet that guards against the dealer having 21 on his first two cards. An insurance bet pays off at 2 to 1.
*Surrender: This allows you to recoup half of your original wager and surrender the other half. You might surrender if you thought you had a poor hand compared to the online blackjack dealer.

Once you’ve made your decisions and played out your part of the hand (and all other players at the table have too), the online dealer will complete their hand. The dealer’s only options are to hit and to stay. This process will begin once the dealer flips over the hidden card in their hand.
If the online dealer’s cards add up to less than 17, they must hit. At any point that the dealer’s cards add up to at least 17, they must stay. The dealer could bust as well if their value goes above 21 following a hit, in which case, you would win your hand as long as you haven’t busted yourself.
Keep in mind that the dealer can’t split, double, or do any of the other things open to the player. The dealer gains their advantage in online blackjack from the fact that the players don’t know the value of the hidden card. And the dealer also gets to play last, which means that they can win the hand based on the player’s busting first.Online Blackjack Strategy and TipsBlackjack Strategy Charts
When you play blackjack online with proper basic strategy, you greatly increase your chances of winning real money. Basic blackjack strategy is derived from computer simulations which show the ideal plays for every possible deal. This information is crucial when learning how to play blackjack online and winning more often.Strategy charts are common ways to learn basic online blackjack strategy.
These charts recommend whether you should hit, stand, or commit to any of your other options based on the two cards you receive on the deal and what card the dealer has showing. If you can memorize the information on these charts, you can improve your online blackjack odds and decrease the house edge.Card Counting
Many blackjack players want to go beyond basic blackjack strategy. If you want to take this a step further, you might want to consider learning how to count cards in blackjack.
While counting cards does not always apply to every version of online blackjack, the idea behind card counting is that the gambler’s chances improve once certain cards with lower values have already been played and are out of the deck. By contrast, the dealer’s chances improve when more face cards (jacks, queens, and kings) and tens have been played. By counting the cards, you can estimate whether you’re going into a hand with an advantage or a disadvantage. You can then adjust the size of your wager accordingly.
Card counting only improves potential payback slightly and only if you do it right. Casual players might not find much use for learning how to count cards. But it can be a valuable tool for those who plan on making blackjack their regular casino game.Online Blackjack Bankroll Management
You should also consider bankroll management in online blackjack to be an important part of your strategy. The smartest players know good online blackjack betting strategy and how much of their digital bankroll to devote to a given session. They also know when to call it quits, either because they’ve made a satisfying profit or because they’ve lost a certain amount.Pick up Some Tips From Our Casino Blogs

In the case of land-based casinos, the dealer will deal cards to each player from a “shoe,” which is a kind of automatic card dispenser holding multiple decks. Each player receives two cards face up, while the dealer gets one card face up and one face down.Winning or Losing a Blackjack Hand Online
There are three ways you can win a hand of blackjack.
*End up with a value in your hand higher than the dealer without exceeding 21
*End up with 21 based on the two cards that you’ve dealt before the dealer can make 21 with more than two cards
*Have the dealer go over 21 with the value of his cards
When #1 or #3 occur, you’ll win the value of your bet. If example #2 occurs, which is known as a blackjack, you will be paid off at odds of 3 to 2. A “blackjack” can only occur with an ace (11 points) and a ten, jack, queen, or king (10 points) as the two cards you’re dealt.You can also tie the hand, known as a push, if you and the dealer end up with the same point value at the end of the hand.
In that case, you get your bet back but no real money winnings. That will occur also if you and the online dealer both have blackjack with your two-card deals.
You will lose your online blackjack wager if you end up with a lower point value than the dealer with neither of you going over 21. In addition, you’ll lose if the value of your cards eventually goes over 21, which is known as a bust.Playing Your Blackjack Hand
When you receive your two cards, you’ll add up their value. For example, if you receive a king and a three, the value is 10 + 3, or 13.
After receiving the two cards, you’ll have several options to complete the hand.
*Hit: You could add to your point total by asking for another card. Keep in mind that you can hit multiple times and keep doing this as long as you don’t go over 21 and bust.
*Stand: You can refuse any other action on your hand and stick with the point total you have. A stand, also sometimes called a stick or a stay, can happen after your two-card deal. Or you can stand at any point after you’ve just hit in a game of online blackjack.
*Split: If you receive two cards with the same point value on the deal, you can split them into two different hands. This requires doubling your original bet. When you split, you’ll receive another card for each of these two new hands then continue to play out the hands in any manner you wish.
*Double: You can double the size of your initial real money blackjack bet for the hand you’re playing. When you do this, you will receive just one more card from the dealer to complete your hand.
*Insurance: This is a separate wager of up to half of your original bet that guards against the dealer having 21 on his first two cards. An insurance bet pays off at 2 to 1.
*Surrender: This allows you to recoup half of your original wager and surrender the other half. You might surrender if you thought you had a poor hand compared to the online blackjack dealer.

Once you’ve made your decisions and played out your part of the hand (and all other players at the table have too), the online dealer will complete their hand. The dealer’s only options are to hit and to stay. This process will begin once the dealer flips over the hidden card in their hand.
If the online dealer’s cards add up to less than 17, they must hit. At any point that the dealer’s cards add up to at least 17, they must stay. The dealer could bust as well if their value goes above 21 following a hit, in which case, you would win your hand as long as you haven’t busted yourself.
Keep in mind that the dealer can’t split, double, or do any of the other things open to the player. The dealer gains their advantage in online blackjack from the fact that the players don’t know the value of the hidden card. And the dealer also gets to play last, which means that they can win the hand based on the player’s busting first.Online Blackjack Strategy and TipsBlackjack Strategy Charts
When you play blackjack online with proper basic strategy, you greatly increase your chances of winning real money. Basic blackjack strategy is derived from computer simulations which show the ideal plays for every possible deal. This information is crucial when learning how to play blackjack online and winning more often.Strategy charts are common ways to learn basic online blackjack strategy.
These charts recommend whether you should hit, stand, or commit to any of your other options based on the two cards you receive on the deal and what card the dealer has showing. If you can memorize the information on these charts, you can improve your online blackjack odds and decrease the house edge.Card Counting
Many blackjack players want to go beyond basic blackjack strategy. If you want to take this a step further, you might want to consider learning how to count cards in blackjack.
While counting cards does not always apply to every version of online blackjack, the idea behind card counting is that the gambler’s chances improve once certain cards with lower values have already been played and are out of the deck. By contrast, the dealer’s chances improve when more face cards (jacks, queens, and kings) and tens have been played. By counting the cards, you can estimate whether you’re going into a hand with an advantage or a disadvantage. You can then adjust the size of your wager accordingly.
Card counting only improves potential payback slightly and only if you do it right. Casual players might not find much use for learning how to count cards. But it can be a valuable tool for those who plan on making blackjack their regular casino game.Online Blackjack Bankroll Management
