    Changing house edge at Intercasino

    Hi

    I play at some of the cryptologic casinos with the bonus money and wanted some help. IMO Inter, william hill and littlewoods (cryptologic) have rigged the DD and splits at BJ. Its amazing how many times a 2,3,4,5 or 6 comes when you DD and the few times you get a 9 or 10 the dealer also gets 20 or 21. I use the play chart from wizzard of odds and if i didn't DD on 11v10 or 9v3 or 4, how much would that change the house edge.

    The difference in expected return between doubling and hitting a 9 vs 3 is negligible. There is a significant difference between doubling and hitting a 11 vs 10. However, this combination does not occur often, so the overall change in house edge is still very low.

    The strategy chart at http://www.beatingbonuses.com/blackjack.htm uses blending colors to show the difference in expected return between different choices. "D2" indicates a 2% difference in expected return between doubling and hitting.

    I play at crypro casinos and have no problem with them.

    Your saying that they are rigged but provide no evidence. If you think they are rigged why play there anyway?

    I find that with BJ everywhere - so I hardly play it.
    If you are trying to 'milk' the best bonuses on the net (Cryptos) entirely by low risk BJ then I have very little sympathy.
    I play most games on offer (including slots) & do 'very well thank you!'

    BTW: Welcome to the forum. Stick around - it's great here!

    i agree with the poster

    ive played there extensively for 6 months..and noticed i rarely got a big card when DD...so i kept track ...results

    100 DD opportunities (10 or 11)

    only 11 times did i get a face or ten

    after this i stopped DD

    splitting is also terrible ...didnt feel like tracking that..but its so obvious

    I play mainly blackjack and variants (including pontoon) with a little video poker thrown in, and I have no problems with the fairness of the games.

    I just got demolished on a blackjack session on an RTG casino last night. However, I had pretty good luck with doubledowns on 11, but not on nine. What does it all mean? Nothing, really.

    I don't particularly like the crypto software, but I've never really thought it was rigged. Of course, I'm the US, so that's all moot for me now anyway.

    My crypto BJ experience

    At two crypto casinos I'm doing fine.

    At one crypto casino I'm 182 units down after wagering ~7200 units on BJ, not nice, but nothing special. I don't see convergence to EV yet however, as I'm still consistently loosing, but the sample size is too small. The probability of my losing streak would drop below 1% only, if approximately the same lose/wager ratio of the streak would continue for another 6000 units of wager.

    Nevertheless I had to experience two very serious losing sessions, -32 units after wagering 107 units, and -30 units while wagering 114 units, but that still should happen ~one time in 1000.

    I don't have any big BJ win at cryptos, my peak was 24 units up.

    Besides BJ, I play Let-it-ride and some slots, and it's ok for me.
