How Many Online Casinos Cheat?

[dealer wins]

I play a lot of BJ online and most seems fair.

The one that really sticks out to me as being well dodgy is paddypower flash BJ (not sure what software as its not a downloaded casino).

I have played loads of sessions (over 50) and I can honestly say I have not had one decent session where I have done well. Yes a couple of small wins here and there, but not 1 really good, dealer busting, hitting 10s on double down, sort of win. (And I have had loads and loads of very bad, even HIDEOUS sessions out of those 50 sessions believe me).


Even when I get to normal land casinos every few trips will net me one or two good wins on BJ, and the same goes for most online places, but I can honestly say at Paddys something just isnt right.

(I am quite loyal to Paddys because its my local bookie and I have been betting there for 15 years) ... stupid me hey

don't you guys realise? thodorisk is smarter than all of us here, smarter than bryan, smarter than wizard of odds. he is even smarter than those at the forefront of physics and medicine. so smart in fact that he dares not share his advances in those fields; he must have a good reason to know that we mortals are not ready for the enlightenment he could provide.

but please sir, give us the secrets to cures that the government and pharmaceutical companies don't want us to know about. even if the knowledge you possess is beyond our comprehension, please sir, people are dying! and while you're at it, use your intimate knowledge of physics to create free energy devices, so we no longer have to be slaves to the fossil fuel industry. free the world from the powers that be. help build a utopia!

don't just tell us all how good you are without manning up. jesus didn't go around just saying he can heal the sick and raise the dead, he made it happen! so take your vast and superior knowledge and put it to good use. bragging on a forum will not get you the immortality you desire.

You get a lot of respect here. Most spammers don't get that low. So you have a long ridiculous rant about poker being rigged, now you're off on casinos. Your number of hands is not enough to mean anything. You've proven nothing more then you are a sore loser. Why have you not stopped gambling?

THAT explains it! You're right! He really IS smarter than all of us!

Whoah whoah, no need for name calling.

Theodoros, I'm not a statistics expert, but I do play a lot of blackjack, and I've done read a lot of the esoteric stuff about card counting.

First, you sample sizes are far too small. Even a few thousand hands is a very small sample when you're playing a game with such a small advantage (or disadvantage). Someone else would have to bust out standard deviations and means, but I doubt that your results are any big deal. As a reality check, there are a few professional card-counters out there (not many, but a few) who have had negative YEARS playing in the casinos, despite playing with an advantage the whole time.

Second, you misused the risk of ruin calculator over at qfit.com. That's not the proper tool to tell you the odds of losing 198 or more units when starting with 1000. That's a tool to tell you the odds of losing 198 units when you start with 198. Different math.

Third, what's with the basic strategy deviations, man? Unless you're making composition dependent plays, wha'ts the point? No self-respecting bonus whore would do such a thing.

I really dont know how many casinos cheat but:

Casinos can cheat some players all of the time and
cheat all of the players some of the time but of course they cant cheat all of the players all of the time.

PS: Now just where did I see this quote before?

I lost my whole of deposited money which was 198. But even if I had more in my account, the application of the risk of ruin probability was correct.
When one stops counting his stats at the lowest point of his currect bankroll, HE CAN use the risk of ruin probability to find what was the probability that could happen. And all that based on the number of hands.
I site the theoretical considerations that support this, at:http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/...lack-jack.html
I indeed made a mistake of applying risk of ruin in the past, and this mistake is at my first posts at the above thread. But exactly that mistake lead me to its correction and to more knowledge on the matter. I myself always doubt my so far conclusions with counterarguments. A counterargument immediatelly indicates the next counterargument, and thus one digs towards more knowledge.

I violated basic strategy just a few times, because I was experimenting to find a possibly existent bias in the randomness of the random number generators (and take full advantage of it). In other casinos these experiments were very successful. Yes, in a way, I was trying to find a way to "card count", since if there is a bias, then this bias creates a pattern according to which the groups of high and low cards are clustering in a non-random way. Of course, later I realised that instead of trying to take most advantage of a possibly existent bias, it would be better to make sure such a bias actually exists, and what exactly is. And for this, I had to follow basic strategy 100% and change only the size of my bets. Also, basic strategy can identify cheating, as one has a fixed edge. Finally, I conceived a theoretical proof that it is impossible for the outcomes of a random number generator to be completelly random. The reason they cannot be random is also the discovery and the proof of this discovery. But this discovery is of course quite useless, IF all casinos cheat SOMETIMES. So I might reveal it soon, but not in this thread. And as you see, I cannot start a new thread.
BUT I AM NOT 100% CERTAIN that this discovery of mine and its proof are true. But so far I cannot prove it wrong.

As for my other knowledge about physics and medicine, you will never find it out I guess, not through this site anyway. I did not come to this site to reveal or discuss these. And if you really wanted me to discuss these things (not in this thread, of course), then you would not give me these negative reputation points.

All the other nonsense of you other guys is just affiliates defending their business. So are the negative reputation points you gave me.
"More clever than Bryan and the rest of you"? But my friend, you and Bryan are affiliates. You have common interests with the casinos. Bryan MIGHT have other motives too, as PERHAPS that casinos should not cheat or deny winnings, (either because it is bad for the industry on the whole or because these are his personal principles), I really dont know, but the fact remains that he has common interests with the casinos. Am I wrong? Explain to me why.
