We all agree on some givens -

(1) blackjack is - without card counting - a negative expectation game.
(2) Bonuses are never truly "free". Casinos obviously expect a net profit from any bonus offer, lest why would they offer them?

You began to participate in this thread by noting that you lost roughly $9000, when you "should" have lost only $1800 based on percentage return.

So - if your point is NOT that they are cheating...what IS your point? That this three-year cumulative result is highly improbable? And thus how DID you contribute to this thread?

As for my comment about not playing - I only mentioned that if I had the luck (or streak, or problems, or issues - or whatever you wish to call your losses) that you had at Crypto casinos (namely - losing $3000 per annum, or $250 per month on the average), then I'd stop playing at Crypto casinos.

Secondly, the word streakiness is a catch all thrown around by persons who do not understand randomness.

I did not say they were cheating nor do I think so. I have no evidence of that.

Your suggestion that you would not play at a casino where you have lost some amount of money further illustrates a lack of understanding of probability. These casinos offer up an advantageous situation and without other evidence of cheating it would be silly to stop playing. Sometimes players lose. I have won more than expectation at other places, however I don't think for a moment that they are cheating for my benefit.

You had two choices to make before participating it the thread. Contribute some useful information (which you didn't do) or keep your mouth shut (which you also didn't do).

Now, I refuse to participate in some useless (there's that word again) flame war so I am disengaging from this thread. You have fun now.
