Is it not possible to resize these attachments? They're really screwing up the thread.

EDIT: Above comment regarding my own last post on page five, which was intended to be in the format of my initial post but ended up exploding across the page for some reason.

I barely played Blackjack throughout july and had some of my biggest wins ( Video Poker ), started playing again in August, some good highs but a lot of lows as well, volatile game if you play with big bet changes and hope for a good streak, but thats the only way to make some real money at the game, just need to remember the #1 rule, don't chase losses, ***run*** from a bad table, try another one or casino, i find myself chasing a lot of the time and getting hurt.

i think you'll find that daywalker didn't phrase his/her questions in a very courteous manner.

I've got to admit I had a touch of sarcasm in my original post but no way was it dis-courteous, it was a genuine question really. I certainly got a very anal response though but there you go.
Listen guys, it's fine if you've got alot of respect for cipher and he's helped you in the past. I know what it's like but bpb has a point, such a response to my post wouldn't have inflammed this situation, I was genuinely confused as to why you come on here, bleat about rigged casinos but then continue to play them? I still am, if you think the game is bent why play? This is an open question, not one to cipher as he's answered it in his own 'up his own arse' kinda way.
Sorry couldn't resist, he got my back up un-necessarily.

I don't want to get into a slanging match, it was a genuine question and still is.

Daywalker; You need to understand a couple of things about me.

First off, I'm 57 years of age and I have a very low tolerance for any sarcasim when it comes to gambling. It's a serious business to me and I do my homework better than anyone else that I can think of.

Upon occassion I might pass on some information that I feel would be helpful to those who participate in forums such as this. Only because I think it might turn out to be of some value to others including yourself.

Cipher, Have a nice weekend! There are only few people I really respect OR treat as friends here (You, Linda, casinomeister, Jinnia, Jpm....).

Thanks, I think I will and you do the same. Incidentally, have you heard from our friend Linda lately?

Good old Microgaming again. 11 hands played, 10 units down. This is getting repetitious. How often do you sit down to a single deck game, wager 11 hands and lose 10 units straight? Gimme a break.

Business as usual at Grand Casino Venice. I should never have reversed my cashout - it obviously triggers "sucker" mode.

You try it - deal yourself 11 hands from a single deck, and keep repeating until you lose 10 straight. My guess: it'll never happen.

Microgaming: just switch off the cheat mode once and for all. Don't you make enough money, for Christ's sake?

My good friend Chucho should see this.
He and I also believe that there is some sort of switch that these casinos turn on and off.
Try Inter or William Hill. (cryptologic) Twenty hands played...I won 4 dealer won 16
And that's just one example. I have QUITE a few more

Caruso,
How do I put on a screen shot like you just did?

Cipher, I understand

As for the sarcasm, that's just me, I do take gambling seriously as it's how I make a living (but I bet on soccer mainly) the casinos is a hobby for me and I've only been at it 10 weeks, solely taking up bonus offers - but I am getting more & more into blackjack and beginning to risk my own funds and winning, so far!

Anyway, if I've caused any offence I do apologise.

Oops, meant to edit, hit reply.

Lanindar - click on "manage attachments" under "additional options", browse, select the file you want and upload it. The file itself is a screenshot I took of the Playchech record from the website as opposed to within the actual software, since the window within the software isn't big enough to show eleven entries.

 

[fortyoz]

I've lost 10 in a row a few times in different land casinos. it happens, if the cards and stars are all aligned against you for 20 minutes or so

Also have won every hand in a shoe..

 

[caruso]

Frankly, I'm sick of hearing the default excuse "it can happen" in response to ridiculous experiences. Someone even said this when I reported my FIVE SD Gambling Federation loss. Duplicate the experiment: take a single deck and keep dealing yourself eleven hands samples until you lose ten units over the course of one of them. See how many you have to deal before you achieve this result. My guess is you will probably never get there. And yet, just such a run is what I experience IMMEDIATELY when I sit down at the GCV "blackjack" table.

Gimme a break.

My guess is that the Viper and flash versions are currently clean, but that they never bothered to pull the fix out of the old software.

In fact, I'm going to do this experiment myself in free mode at Crypto, and report the results.

 

[jpm]

Home casino still runs the old software too, pre-viper.

Business as usual at Grand Casino Venice. I should never have reversed my cashout - it obviously triggers "sucker" mode

I had never heard of Grand Venice Casino. So I decided to have a look and noticed that they offered some support in Italian. During the last few weeks Ive decided to open a web site for Italian gamblers that are usually not very fluent in English. So Im trying to review all sites that have support or info in my native language. Because of this I decided to have a try and opened a real account in order to get the no deposit $ 11 bonus. After a few hours I discovered that no bonus had been added and my account was locked. I can guess the reason for this: I have to register as an Italian resident (my IDs have Italian addresses) but I live in Ireland. Conflict with IPs and reasonable doubt. Its not the first time it happens. But just look at the style: 32 Red Casino writes a kind e-mail asking if you can explain the reason for this fact, Grand Venice just locks you out without a single word. By the way I had experienced the same treatment by another Casino with some Italian flavour: Colosseum Casino. Account locked, than unlocked with apologies, than re-locked for the same reason of the first locking (?!?), people replying with no ideas of their previous mails, promised answer from the Anti-Fraud Department (implying that youre trying to implement a fraud: again great costumer care!!!). No further news.
What its strange to me is such a behaviour with so many casinos that are willing to offer their services. For sure they will not be listed on my web site but I remain astonished to see a similar attitude. Maybe too many gamblers shop without any clue and casinos can just make what they want.

 

[jpm]

I think what you may discover is that its the backend processor doing the locking on these casinos. I believe that grand venice and colloseum both use the same one (proccyber?) and 32red uses a different one.

It makes sense, jpm. I checked and they use the same backend processors (but not proccyber BTW). In any case they could deal with this in a much better way...

 

[jpm]

Oh I totally agree, I was just explaining why it happened. And it will happen again. I went thru this a year or so ago when someone with the same first & last name as my, living in the same state did a chargeback. Proccyber immediatly locked ALL of my accounts at MG casinos they were processor for without telling me. It went on for more than 6 months, every time I opened a new account at a casino they worked with, it would be almost instantly locked, despite having already proved to them that we were not the same person, and their repeated promises that it wouldn't happen again.

So don't be surprised if it happens again to you.

With on line casinos I'm not surprised by anything, anymore...
Thanks for the feedback, jpm

I am REALLY am getting sick of this. This is the third consecutive re-deposit double that pulled nothing, and the dealer drew out the magic 21 hand.

I've not the slightest doubt now that the software is programmed to deal doubles / splits with an automatic dealer 21 whenever it registers a re-deposit to cover the extra bet.

This was (AGAIN) Casino Grand Bay. They put $15 in my account (probably because of that lovely split / double redeposit that prompted this thread), I decided to anti-martingale as far as I could; won the $15 hand; bet $30; of course, the best POSSIBLE double is dealt; of COURSE it loses to ANOTHER 21. I took a screenshot of the original deal since I knew exactly what was happening, and $30 isn't exactly a sweat-job.

Gimme a break. Three consecutive re-deposit doubles; three consecutive nothing cards on the 11; three consecutive dealer magic 21s.

This is obviously fixed now.

 

[caruso]

I said it was three consecutive, but I didn't take a screenshot of the second. Just did a Playcheck, however, so here we are. Notice how it's 1) always the same player hand (11) and 2) always the same dealer 21. This one was a $400 suck out.

 

[jerseyguy11]

i had bad play at casino grandbay as of late too. I had a lot of the same as you caruso, same size bets and dealer pulled a lot of lucky hands when i raised bet. i stopped playing with them, but i had some good play with their sister jupiter club casino. i wont go as far as to say theyre rigged because I havent played with them as much as some of the other casinos i condemned.

on a lighter note, i go to atlantic city on saturday. i think ill bring about 3k to play blackjack. Wish me luck

 

[seanjohn]

that $15 bonus was for you to try out their slots
theoretically you can play poker pursuit and red dog, too

had you won anything using that $15 playing BJ, I highly doubt they would let you cash in anything...

I agree. I have run very well on Viper at a huge number of casinos. But that is pretty much the only software I trust. I refuse to go near older Microgaming casinos.

Most of the other software behaves oddly when I play, so these days I stay away from them. As for cryptologic (where I perhaps I have played 20 times or so) always follows the same pattern. The first 1000$ wagered seems normal, after that it is just a slow drain on my bankroll. It has been that way each and every time I have played there. So I have stopped playing there until I get convinced their deal a kosher game. Haven't played at RTG in a good while so I don't know how it behaves these days.
