first time blackjack in Playtech

**thenmh** · 15th March 2007, 11:45 PM

Hello,

I noticed several times that the very first time I play Blackjack at a Playtech casino, I get very good winning streak followed by a similar losing streak then after some times the results become "non-streaky". Has anyone else experienced the same phenomenon

?

Try live BJ. In Playtech BJ you will see a lot of 20's and 21's (not only the house, you too

).

Anybody knows how much decks have Playtech BJ?

No, but if I did I would bet big until the end of the winning streak and then leave the game well alone...!

I don't particularly remember liking playtech BJ, mainly due to graphics and pacing.

It was also pretty streaky. Problem is, ALL online BJ feels streaky, because you can play so many hands, so much faster.

six deck.
but it's not useless counting.. cause after each round cards are reshuffled

live BJ is eight deck and using about 2/3

I actually have to ask this, but are the decks fair? In the sense that a new shoe is 452 cards, 8 of each specific value/suit. Contrast, say, 7 live tables going, for which the aggregate of the tables are 56 fair decks, but each shoe is random even in composition.

It's not that I don't trust that the aggregate game is fair, but this is blackjack. And all that having 452 cards, 8 of each specific value/suit implies.

Six deck and reshufling??!!

WTF...

I'm agree with EasyRhino too. Maybe the problem is that PlayTech casinos are really fast (you have the option to don't see animations or not wait for roulette spin), maybe this is the formula: Fast Game + BlackJack = Lose
