Internet Casino Experience Can anyone tell me what happened?

[joeypbg]

I play at an internet gaming casino sometimes and I had this experience.
I was playing Baccarat and bet on both Banker and Player just to see the run.
I bet 1k on Player and 1K on Banker. I should not lose since I am betting on both but when I looked at my balance it took both the banker and the player, meaning i lost 2K. Good thing I noticed it because I complained to the attendant and then they called the company or whoever was running the software. Then after a few minutes my 2k automatically returned to my balance.
My question is Exactly what happened?
Was that a software glitch?
were they interfering with my game play?
how come they were able to return it so fast, where they monitoring my play?
nobody was able to give me an adequate explanation.

btw this was not the first time it happened. i remember another time that i bet the same way but i was not paying attention and somehow i knew i should have more money than i had but it was less than what i knew i had. Just didnt pursue it then coz i thought i miscounted.

What I dont understand is why you would use 1K for a dry run? why not bet the minimum both ways to see what happens? Something is odd about this. Are you really seeing what happens because if you are and you did this before than you already know what happens . Are you trying to go through a WR without betting? Did you take a bonus and did you check to see if it counted as part of a WR or did the null the whole bet?

Im confused

sorry to get you confused. I was playing the 1k minimum and 15 k max VIP Baccarat . That is the reason why i had to bet 1k on both player and banker.
When i made the bet I had 15K balance less the 2k bet which left me with 13 k balance while the game was in progress. Player Won which meant I should have 15k as my balance again. If Banker won it would mean less 5 percent commission on Banker on the 1k bet. But still it should be around 15k right. But I only had 13k after the hand. I complained to the attendant (we have internet casino gaming centers in the Philippines) and after they made a call a minute later they returned my money. I saw the balance change from 13k to 15K. Hope this sort of clarifies what happened.

I fail to see the point in this bet, there is no winning outcome, just the chance to donate 5% of your banker bet to the casino.

The only use for this kind of play is to clear the WR for a bonus, and I see a locked account in the near future

Ive been playing long enough to know that you do not bet on every hand. Sometimes you bet that way just so you figure out the run. It is part of a betting system I designed However my question really hinges on how come after making the bet on both banker and player they took out the bets on both and returned it immediately after i complained. My point being is this a glitch or are they doing this deliberately?

How can anyone answer that question when you wont tell us which casino? I wouldnt be able to answer it but maye someone else could. I doubt it though, like I said before, something is odd

You never considered the "Tie" aspect or factored in that outcome ?

[joeypbg]

All the casinos in the Philippines whether land based or Internet based is regulated by Pagcor the government agency overseeing casinos here. Internet casino gaming is subcontracted to a group that offers internet casino gaming centers. The incident happened in an internet gaming center. It is sort of like an internet cafe the only difference is you go to the counter and make a payment and choose which machine you want to play. If you win you can withdraw your money at the counter right away. I hope this sort of gives you an idea how it is played.
Regarding the Draw or tie. If tie wins it doesnt get your money because since you bet on both player and banker and the winner is both then it doesnt get your money. I do this all the time bet on both player and banker and it usually returns my bet.

Ahhh Ok. So WR doesnt exist, I stand corrected and apologize but I still dont know how anyone here could help you. So what your saying is.....


You walk into a place
go to the counter
pay for gaming
go to a PC that is in this place
if you win, go back to the counter and get paid?

BUT....its regulated by the government? Never heard of anything like that, sorry I cant help you

I never heard of anything like this before but it sounds like something i would really like though
