Playing blackjack online. guess I learned my lesson

[secondbase]

been playin small- a few hands in a session, just wanting to get up a few bucks each time. Been successful, sort of. I play totally by the ole rules for the most part as to when to hit, double etc.
Anyway, been winning until they got me back today
I swear the dealer got 20 or 21 at least 10 hands in a row. I kept getting dealt 10 or 11 and doubled and got a 3 or 4 . I believe I lost 18 out of 20 hands and never hit when I should not have etc.
wow got my arse handed to me much like last Sunday in the NFL.

So, are these fixed or what ?

yes man, waste of money.......ask anyone that works in the industry....it's nothing but a moneymaker for these sites

you can test it out for yourself by going into a site and trying their "for fun" mode where real money is not involved. They don't bother to switch on and off their cheat system or whatever it's called.

You'll notice you do fine, maybe make a buck or two as long as you play around the minimum bet size. as soon as your bet size increases you'll lose 80% of the time

playing in their "for fun" mode and being as aggressive as i could i never once was able to make a significant profit, even when i bet huge to bust myself out just to see if once, just once i could hit it big....nope

i played a lot in the ' just for fun' and keep going broke and they have to update my account-- enough said I guess

[secondbase]

wow
It would be comical if everyone saw some of this- I mean , so many short hits to ' one over my total ' is just unreal
i have 20 , dealer shows 5 and hits 21
i have 17 dealer shows 6 , hits a two for 18
I have 18 dealer shows 8 but has ace underneath for 19
and again and again

anyone here want some of my money ?? God I must be stupid

[spliff]

i have my account blocked from the casino wherever possible to avoid the temptation. just email the cs and ask if you're interested

[secondbase]

good idea

I am done venting. almost anyway


But really , why can't they be legit ? Odds are still in their favor with normal casino rules, why should these people need to cheat ?

the hesitancy off their ' hit ' card really got me wondering , wtf. It was like someone was watching and saying ' hey we need a 5 here '

I think poker is rigged too. I've never ever seen it where TWO people in the same hand had quad's and both got beat with a guy with a straight flush. Only at bodog....

if they were 100% fixed wouldn't they lure you in with some big wins first ? not saying they are not rigged but casino's don't usually need to rip people off for a few hundred when they are making billions

I once tried roulette to see what would happen, played red and black only starting out with $1 bet. Every loss I would raise the bet to offset the loss, then got sucked into the game because I couldn't believe I could lose every hand. When I finally quit I had lost 21 bets in a row!!! Thanks Bookmaker!

[secondbase]

i think what gets me the most is- ok, the dealers first card is not shown- he shows his second card
BUT , when the dealers first card is an ACE, it shows it- then the next card is always a face to complete his BJ. So, in other words, the computer knows that a face is coming for the second card and it hasn't even been dealt yet-


Don't they have to keep it legit ? Seriously , don't they ? Aren't they regulated ?

My guess is that consultants did studies...watching people try out the BJ table for the first time online. My guess is that 98% of people act the same way...they play the minimum first to see if it appears "legit". Once they increase their bets they begin losing, and find out what everybody here is finding out (imo of course)

Not saying any book in particular did a study, but some consultant probably tested it is my guess
