Then the following statement is false:
If the code is rigged to make you lose, there is no way for that code to "look the other way" while you "sneak" in a larger wager. It will either know that you bet bigger or it won't.
And Kimss, as a fellow programmer, you could very easily solve this debate by creating your own fair blackjack game. Make it keep track of your bankroll and so that you can bet however much you want.

No, it will all work out in the long run.
Saying that the casinos' RNG or software will automatically deal you predetermined wins and losses so that your long-term payback is around 95% or 97% or 99% is nonsense. The software doesn't need to do that because the mathematics takes care of it.
