Wanted to stop by to share my personal experience with the online darwin gaming company that provides the "live dealer" games for al the online casions. I got turned on to this form of gambling by a co-worker a short eight months ago. Needless to say, It's been a long tumultuous stressful relationship with these providers. Today, I said enough is enough and placed myself on my state's exclusion list to save myself from myself. Never would I thought that I would be that problem gambler, but I am here to say that I am and it's ugly. I have lost approximately 30k give or take, but I will live and move forward and learn from this. Just wanted to share my experience and attempt to collaborate on some of these claims as laid out in some of these posts.
It all started on the American Roulette table. I simply bet red or black with varying results. Increasingly I would press and martingale to attempt to recover losses. The streaks would somehow just get longer and longer and even sometimes be separated by several zeroes that made the streak last up to 20 or 25 without an alternate color. Occasionally, I would override my brain and say that I would simply bet with the streak. Bad luck would ensue again and the opposite color would hit. You lose again! I researched the videos with the 3 letter name dealer groups or the roulette guy using the simulators in an attempt to get better. Over and over, I would try the systems but low and behold the numbers that weren't covered would hit in abnormal sequence. I chalked it up to more bad luck and talked myself into persevering. Losses would just add up as the loss-chasing ensued. One of the most memorable episodes was when I would bet the dozen that hadn't hit in a while. The 2nd dozen didn't hit in over 32 spins. Anything is possible, but this is when I started questioning whether this was really as advertised as fair and regulated.
I discovered the lightning roulette next and would have some luck initially. I would play the whole board and then dry streaks would hit where the lightning would not hit for like 100 spins depleting my bankroll. Again, I chalked it up to more bad luck. I would talk myself into playing again. It was just a bad streak of luck, right? I would even try some of the betting systems on the lightning wheel to devasting results. The way the ball would seem to be controlled by otherworldly forces was indeed odd. There are instances of this on the tube video site.
Next up, Baccarat! Started out great and definitely was able to win some decent money. Then almost by design, the jaws of defeat would clamp down once again. It was almost like sometimes I was placed into a normal Baccaratt lobby and other times the Baccarat gods hated me and I would lose over, over and over. The video streams would lag right before the cards were dealt or I would see a natural 9 over and over on the other side. I would try to chat with the dealer using the chat feature, but it would take 3 or 4 hands for the dealer to acknowledge. Also, the shoes are not on camera at all times which definitely raises my suspicions.
Finally, I discovered the Football studio. Eerily, very similar results to the Baccarat. Constant video stream issues and improbable cards that would be dealt. Excessive repeating streaks that either end as soon as you bet with or keep going on and on when you bet against. Again, probably just me but you can't martingale into the thousands and they know that.
The moral of the story, is maybe these are all normal results and I just suck at gambling. I can accept that. But just a lot of stuff that occurred that I have a hard time accepting having seen with my own eyes. The darwin gaming company seems shady to me and I would steer clear if you are wagering any large sums of money.
