What are the odds?

**aodat2** · 25th November 2005, 04:35 AM

I recently deposited $100 at CON and well... wanted to jump into their BJ Tourney.

I've not had anything happen to me like this before. So, have a look.

Was just wondering what are the chances of this happening? (hand 6 - 10)

Ps. Please don't mind my lousy screenshot. It was not editted properly.

I've been running into hot dealers (w/multiple BJ & 21's) quite often at MG casinos as of late... actually, since '01.

While I don't like this happening, as long as the rest of the game is balanced, it's not so pivotal. Of course, it REALLY pisses me off in that it seems to happen with frequency on increased bets (as in large bets).

your quite right about increased bets and MG's look at this screenie on my first bet after increasin the stake.

in response to the opening poster i make your event about a 30,000-1 chance, my screenie is about a 400,000-1 chance that happened to me yesterday.

Expectation by fraction of original bet for 77 v 7
stand -0.478169
hit -0.329129
double -0.685903
split (no double after split) -0.105023
split (double after split allowed) -0.048918

If you had hit, or split and won, would you still made a "rigged" post, or would you have just thought "that's a lot of sevens" and counted your win?

That is a lot of sevens. How many hands have you played altogether, all time?

I got a question. If you are convinced MG or some other online BJ is rigged -

Why do you keep playing it?

Cheers,

It looks like double exposure. Why did you not split your pair of 7's?

I saw an incredibly unlikely hand a few days ago. The dealer started off with 5 aces in a row, and then busted.

I've NEVER seen anything like that in my life!

Your bankroll appears to be going up on the last few hands - when you push & lose!!

What on earth is going on there???
