I got hooked into blackjack but was it a trap

[ueber_alles]

I've often tried playing in fun mode before I try the real thing...and I only play at the casinos which I did well in fun mode. So, what did I decide to do? I played over 10,000 hands using a specific system and I did amazing. I never ever got down to less than 45 percent of my payroll(that's never in ten thousand hands) And I do realise that no system truly works...but yet somehow it does in the fun mode.
And after those 10,000 I had 20 times what I started out with. Yet...the second I play with real money....right away things change. Less than 500 hands in I'm down to one third of my bankroll. I've tried the fun mode three times going for 10,000 hands and each time I get a relatively similar outcome. Does anyone feel that fun mode is rigged to get the people to send money? It seems as if more than a few places have either rigged their fun mode or their real mode.I'm not complaining...just wondering if people have noticed this. I'd especially like to hear the opinions of those who are considered to be the most knowledgeable about the industry.

I believe the FUN mode is rigged so that the player gets a feeling that he just can't lose.
THEN...put your cash up...and watch the trend change.
And yes...I there are more than just a few casinos that "rig" their fun mode.
I know this is a topic that could be argumentative...but this is what "I" believe.

I wouldn't make that a blanket statement.

I have lost in fun mode and won with real money, too.

What software are we talking about here? What casinos?

It's not a blanket statement...what I said was:

You say that as though it is a proven fact. How did you obtain the proof that they are rigged in fun mode, and what softwares are we talking about here? To make that statement you must have some kind of verifiable proof, otherwise saying that based on opinion is not right. I have posted regarding my experience on ancertain software and have not once said it definitely is rigged, just posted my experience from my game play and wanted other peoples experiences. You have to be careful in stating opinions as fact, you may affect the business in a negative way.

One of the casinos was a casino in a sportsbook....and the other was a Playtech casino(New York Casino). I will add I've won at this Sportsbook casino...but it's easy to lose too. In fun mode, with the way I play....I've never come close to losing my bankroll(I've never gone below 45 percent). The same cannot be said about the real mode. The problem is that I play an exact certain way in fun mode and it always wins...yet, in the real money way it doesn't. It's not to say you can't win at these casinos...it just seems that they make it so much easier in fun mode. As I said my bankroll never goes below 45 percent.....and that's after three 10,000 hand samples. Isn't that fishy? Plus, even if a casino was totally rigged....they would still have winners to make it not look rigged. So, you would have winners either way. When you play an exact certain way in fun mode as you do in the real mode...you would expect pretty much the same results. I'm talking about 30,000 hands of fun mode. I'm planning on trying this with a microgaming casino to see if I get the same results. And just for the record....I don't think all casinos do this.

rtg fun mode and micro fun mode and con fun mode is the same, i play both and win at both

My sister tried to tell me the same thing playing rtg in real money mode. I said come on sis, u telling me you playing the same way, she know i took more chances in fun mode.

I look at people play in fun mode at casino on net and they bet max almost every time.

now i would agree with playtec. When i play in the fun mode at platec , then switch to real mode it not the same. That why i dont play at playtec to often.

Stick to casino on net, Phoenician, inetbetcasino, bodgod, luckynugget.

I've been playing Blackjack at online casinos for almost two years. This is on a daily basis. There were days when I'd play 4, 5 or 6 casinos per day. This of course was when the WR's were MUCH more reasonable.
I have tried casinos in the FUN mode, when I was a NEWBIE, and made some fake FUN cash. I would make a real deposit and wind up either struggling to break even or losing. This happened primarily with the Playtechs. (Miami Beach, Casino Fortune etc.)

I have also noticed the difference in MG and RTG. But, Playtechs are the worst.

I may not have been around as long as the most of you have but, I have played alot of BJ.

And...I notice the difference between the FUN mode and the REAL mode.

BoDog is a sportsbook that has a casino using RTG software. I think they are fairly new, or recently switched to RTG but I am not sure. I tried signing up with them but they said they currently do not allow Canadian customers which is strange since no other RTG casino, or other casino restricts Canadian customers except Gambling Federation.
