If we are indeed, as it seems so very obvious to so very many of us, being scammed every time we enter the SBR casino, then why has this problem not been adjusted? Or better yet, why has this issue never been acknowledged by any of the SBR staff? If a moderator were to make a post acknowledging that the odds are skewed and that the casino only exists for fun and should not be thought of as legitimate, then I would be happy. But the way it is presented we expect it to be a real casino with real odds. That isn't to suggest we should be able to use it as a long term money-maker, no casino is a long term money-maker, but it shouldn't be a flat out point stealer.
I'll admit I'm a bit of a sucker for blackjack, and have played it at real casinos, and more recently, at SBR's casino. I can only conclude that the amount of 20s, and out of nowhere 21s that the dealer hits in SBR's casino is not only surprising, but ridiculous. Doubling up also feels like a lost cause about 80% of the time. The reason I continue to bet on it is because I would like to believe it's legitimate, I would like to believe there will be some hot days that will even everything out, but they just aren't happening. The more I play the more I am convinced that at the very least SBR blackjack is significantly rigged.
Most of this will not be news to most of you. There are already countless threads complaining about the Casino, and the common argument seems to be "hell, they give us the points, they can steal them back if they want", but this is illogical. SBR is supposed to be community. The site keeps track of illegitimate books so we can avoid them, and we can get the best bang for our buck. Meanwhile right here in our own backyard were getting robbed of our incentives for posting, our loyalty payments for staying with SBR.
This month has been a rough patch for me that has forced me to reexamine my betting habits. Though points may seem meaningless to many, they're still a gamble, and the way we use them can hint to how we manage our real money. With that in mind I've decided I'm done spending points at the casino and probably the sportsbook. I'll let them pile up for a while, until something is changed, or the problem is at least addressed publically by SBR. I suggest you do the same.
Happy betting.
