I dont know if this thought has been posted before, but I have a theory about online Blackjack.
There have been many posts recently about this, that or the other software being rigged to make sure us punters cant win. I too have had this feeling recently.
It seems VERY unlikely that the top software providers with very good names would do anything blatantly dodgy, but maybe they would do something sneakily dodgy?
I dont know the exact figure; so lets just say the Vegas average BJ payout is 98% for real games.
Now just suppose for a minute that online software was written to act in the same way as a slot machine; rather than giving truly random cards, it gives cards to ensure the overall payout is 98%.
In other words, whether you employed the best possible strategy in the world, or played like a brainless twat, over a long run you would still end up returning roughly-roughly 98%.
Then, if anyone queried the casinos honesty they could just turn round, point at the statistics and say Our payout is 98% - the industry standard. What are you talking about??
Just a thought..
