Cipher it seems you would have the means to do so and probably already have, but how about if you seperate all the bets over $X amount and calculate the odds of winning them compared to winning your average bet. I am thinking that therein would be the proof of the betsize to win rigging being present. If we can show people the hard facts of this being a problem then people will realize what is really going on at a lot of these places. Over the years especailly at crypto casinos it seemed that if I bet big for more than a couple hands it would go into straight up takedown mode, but it seemed to break that cycle when I would resort to $5 bets rather than $100 bets.

I think its quite odd that more often than not the dealer just happens to get that 21 at that opportune time, its almost as if the computer was waiting for that opportunity to strike, as if it says here is a way to get $$X amount of money when that certain bet amout would damage your bankroll significantly My advice to this is, if you can't afford the split or the double, then don't chance it, too many times adherence to perfect basic strategy has really left me wide open for a pretty damaging hand.

If casinos are going to offer this game, there should be as much chance of winning your big hands as the small ones, the cards should come out the same no matter what.

Another thing I have always wondered, for example when you hit or do not hit a certain hand, for example when you bust and the dealer had a hand that could have been busted by the card that busted you, would they have gotten the same card?? Or would they have gotten a card that would have made them a hand?? It seems to me, that the hand, no matter what is almost pre-determined to be a win or a loss. I have heard a couple times around here that whenever its the dealers turn to win, they will get the cards that it will take them to win, no matter what. Which means that there is nothing to 'man if i would have hit that' because the card would have not been the same. I have always wondered this to be true, how much do your descisions really come into play on an online game?? Is it truely like a land based game or is it more like a slot machine?? Are your wins pre determined or do you as a player have some input(other than bet size).

You should have won the pair plus bet, only the ante & bet would be lost in this scenario.

Well yes, I WOULD have won the Pair-Plus bet - If I had placed the Pair-Plus bet!

I don't place this every hand - usually about 1 in 4 hands - I use the W.A.G. system to detect when a good hand is about to hit, and then place it.

But in this instance, $3 minimums is a bit steep for me (I'm a VERY LOW roller!) and I didn't do any PP's at all!

EIGHTS....split eights seem to be the bane of my gambling existance. Online or land based, it doesn't really matter. Its like clockwork too, I will get a pair of eights, to the dealers low up card, usually a 4,5 or 6. I'll split, and get another eight, and of course split again. Then the real fun begins. I almost always get a 2 or 3 on the 3rd eight, and double, and get a low card. Then I will hit the next eight, and get the face card. Hit the final eight and get another 2 or 3, double and get a 5,6 or 7. Then I watch in horror as the dealer proceeds to pull a 20 or 21, and clean me out. I have convinced myself that the number eight is my punishment for gambling.

Yeah, its those hands that make or break ya. Personally I like splitting 2's, 3's, and 9's, they seem to be luckier


I remeber one horrible night(well not that horrible I was up by a grand or so) I got a pair of 8's with probably $75 on the table, wound up splitting 3 - 4 times, got a few good hands out of it like a 19, 18, and doubled on an 8 2 and got a 20, the dealer showing a 3, well that dealer got their 8 on the 13 and I lost all the hands, I was pissed!!!

But now, on an online casino, its as if the bad split was planned, a pair of aces, omg I got 2 small cards, damn, oh the dealer just happened to not bust. I think its very rare that I have ever hit a decent split online.

Another gem from Microgaming, and the pattern is starting to get a bit too predictable for comfort: full balance bet ($200), and I pull, again, the best possible double - 11 v. 6 - see the exact same thing earlier on in the thread - so I've no choice but to shovel out an extra $200.

Three perfect dealer cards.

You can't draw any substantiateable conclusions from these situations, so I'm assuming from this point on that individual big bets on Microgaming have a neat little fix in the code to repeat these scenarios over and over. Impossible to prove and a heck of a money-maker.

FTR, my previous Microgaming big bet drew player 16 against dealer blackjack. No screenshot, unfortunately.

OUCH!!

I'm very happy if I make $200 profit in a whole month - and yet you're wagering that on just ONE hand of rigged Blackjack!!

How the other half live, eh!

You my friend caruso have a major gambling problem.

You my friend caruso have a major gambling problem.

That's a pretty weighty and serious accusation to be making, and there's nothing in the comment to suggest that you're just being sarcastic or trying to be funny.

If caruso can afford to make a $200 bet (twice after doubling), that's not an indication of a "major gambling problem." You'd have to know caruso pretty damn well before you can make such a claim.

And, for the record, I DON'T know caruso ... at all. I disagree with him sometimes, but not enough to start accusing him of having a gambling problem, major or otherwise.
