I'm not going to argue with anyone anymore regarding this online blackjack, its pointless. I've been playing these online tables for the past 8 years and have played 1000 upon 1000's of hands at quite a few different books. I'm not quoting these results from my mind or what I think may be happening. I do actually analyze the results. I go to the history, scroll it or print it out and actually go through it hand by hand so i'm not assuming anything at all. I realize the software isn't human, its a PROGRAM that is designed to produce the results it is set up to create. It doesn't come remotely close to mimicking a land based casino and is hardly random generated. The actual results produced are what cause me to study the history and why I earlier posted on this thread the scenarios that ALWAYS occur online but have NEVER seen occur in a real live casino in all my time going to them. Random generated would mean exactly that. The dealer can win 19 hands in a row so should the player at least once in a blue moon. That's not the case. I have never won anywhere close to a streak like that but the dealer will do it consistently. I study the results and see the dealer say out of 25 times it took cards, it busted 3 times. I take cards 25 times, I bust 20 times. Over and over and over again. That NEVER happens in a real casino. I understand perfect strategy, basic strategy and flying by the seat of your pants. It doesn't matter when the dealer has a 20 at a 4:1 ratio to the player, there is no strategy for that. As captrobey mentioned before, the dealer without question, almost always has a face card being either a 10 or a picture card and that strongly dictates the results. Another person mentioned in this thread about not feeling safe holding a 20. I couldn't agree more because a good 8 out of 10 times the dealer will match it or beat it with a 21 whether the face card it has is a 10 or a 2. The conversion rate the online dealer has to make a shit hand a winner is astronomical compared to real casino. Again I will say, it is possible to pop in for only 5 hands and get lucky enough to win 2 or 3 at that time. But if you sit for an extended session such as you suggested say 1000 hands, 500 hands 300 give or take, the results are always the same. You will find yourself playing from behind the whole time, going back and forth and never quite getting back to where you started until it goes into let's zero this player's balance mode because that equals the book getting another deposit. The actual process of the results and HOW you are losing becomes more frustrating than actually losing the money itself. For every person that comes on trying to defend this scenario, there is 100 who deal with the same thing repeatedly. If you are lucky enough to somehow be the oddity that wins while playing, more power to you. But nobody will ever convince me it is random and legit, never.
