The SBR Casino is offering a special Blackjack promo that runs until 8PM ET!

Blackjack singlehand/deck games each pay 3 to 1 on a natural Blackjack!

Max bet is 75 during this period. You guys have around a 7% player edge.

Note — DNS propigation is complete in most all locations. If you still cannot access the sportsbook, you should first hit CTRL F5 and clear cookies.

This is not a very warmth welcome back.

Another 500 down, same thing. No blackjacks on any hands bet above 5.

[yisman]

Finally, after many hundreds of hands, I hit a blackjack with a bet bigger than 5.

Then another one two hands later.

Wow. Incredibly rigged. Took me less than 20 minutes to lose 2,100, betting 75 per hand. Cliff notes: dealer does not bust, dealer out-blackjacks you 5 to 1, dealer down card is 10 if he shows high card and not a ten if he shows low card Edit: make that 2,275 points

KGambler,

The software (DGS) is the same as seen in the Bookmaker, 5dimes and many many other sportsbook and casinos. SBR doesn't have access to the source code to "rig" the RNG.

[KGambler]

Lou, let us know how many points you guys lose in the course of this promotion. Unless people are hitting on 18s, the supposed player edge is so big you should lose a bundle. Unless the SW is rigged that is.

I have been told that various casino software providers provide the sites with the ability to tweak the hold percentage. I don't know who set the game up for you guys, but it sure seems rigged. I can't say definitely though. Obviously I haven't played enough hands or bothered to do any real statistical analysis. And I know BJ is very streaky and can be maddening. I used to do casino whoring. I have played a ton of online blackjack. But yeah, yours "seems" totally rigged.

[jose21_us]

Won 100 points

[yisman]

Well, I take it back. Went on a nice run to recoup a lot of my losses.

Blackjacks started hitting, finally.

Play the second game, as you can surrender on that one.

[jstblaze]

i have gone on just as big positive runs as i have negative.

problem is only i get up after the negative ones cause i got no more points.

[KGambler]

Good to see a couple of winners posting here.

[B1GER1C828]

won 300...

[KGambler]

Plugged in some rough estimates to an online results calculator for BJ. I guess I am just really unlucky. Really, really, really unlucky.


Here, you can estimate the probability of winning or losing a specified amount of money given betsize, number of hands and advantage percentage. To find your advantage at Basic Strategy, link to the Blackjack Advantage Calculator. To use this calculator, fill in the four boxes below and press the Calculate button. Your expected outcome, standard deviation above or below the desired outcome and probability that you will win the desired amount will be displayed. Placing a zero in the desired outcome box will give you your probability of winning. <FORM method=post>
<INPUT name=adv value=6 size=10>Enter the player advantage percentage (typically -1 to +0.5)
<INPUT name=nhands value=200 size=10>Enter the number of hands you will play
<INPUT name=betsize value=75 size=10>Enter the average bet size in dollars
<INPUT name=dresult value=-2275 size=10>Enter the desired outcome in dollars

Yisman do you make your living off of betpoints? Unreal!

[ThaddeusB]

I managed to loose 800 on this promo, despite the huge EV.

Thanks for the opportunity though SBR.

[vividjohn45]

7% edge is real nice. becuz the rest of the year its -7%.

[Roadtrip635]

Ended up winning about 300, shoulda been more but dealer hits an insane amount of 4,5, and 6 card 21's.

[SBR Lou]

Glad you ladies and gents enjoyed the promo.

[excel]

Some guys never learn

[JACK MATZ]

Won a little over 500 but it took forever.


Thanks SBR

[scottie2005]

That was a nice promo thanks

[Kaabee]

was doing good til i did max bet and lost 12 straight

To follow up, using KGambler's link and estimating my edge at 6% like he did, my results were not quite as freay as his (expected better 94.72% of the time). However my expected results were +2250, so I ran a whopping 3000 below expectation.

Looks like the +1.5 run line promo is going to produce similiarly unlucky results (around break even on a 20%+ EV, albeit a much smaller sample size the BJ). What a day.

[pavyracer]

Classic cheese bait strategy. Who can say no to free cheese, right?

[LordVodka]

I must have great luck at blackjack. I went from 300 this morning to 2890 points.

congrats

i dont mean to criticize, but looking at that original hand history you posted on the 1st page you made an extremely large number of not-by-the-book plays. do you play by gut/feel or just try to get lucky or what? lol i guess sometimes you dont always have to follow the book to win, i was just curious and a little suprised. but again congrats, i dont mean to knock you at all its just that i play religiously according to the book

(e.g. some of your hands like staying on A3 against 5, staying on A6, hitting 15 against a 6, etc)

[LordVodka]

I only use the gut, it takes me a few hands of betting the minimum to feel when a good hand is coming. I realize that this betting style is dangerous and can attract negative attention.

fair enough, whatever works for ya. i cant even say anything, you're the one that won almost 1700 points. just be careful doing that for real money
best of luck bud

[LordVodka]

The other day I went from $20 to $400 and lost it all on baseball.

[Cookie Monster]

Really nice promo. Unfortunately I noticed it too late, still won a good amount. Thanks, SBR.

[chemicalbrother]

so you can 'feel' when a good hand is coming.

that's what you're saying? that you can 'feel' a good hand incoming...

[chemicalbrother]

that said, going 7-8 on +1.5ers at even money today (omg) is crazy insane lucky too..

[aceking]
