    Clearly true.

    These people are playing a negative EV game with no skill component whatsoever, and expecting to beat it?

    thadd, if you think its not rigged- try this experiment:

    take 400 points to your casino/sportsbook section, risk 1 point 3 times in a row (i bet you win 2 if not 3 of those hands) risk 100 3 times in a row. you might win one, but i think you lose them all . you should try this out and tell me if its just a coincidence.

    sbrjohn said he was going to audit all the blackjack results and get back to us with a full report on that...didnt happen.

    it really does seem like its skewed unfavorably for percentage risked.

    nice work fellas

    got a request...how about a late night blackjack bonus instead of mid day? i'm sure there are more guys who play at night, hence the need for daytime bonus, but once in a while would be nice

    To those who claim BJ is rigged, please try to come up with better "proof" than
    1) a link to a forum post where people claim the game is rigged
    2) a 6 hand test

    I mean seriously, why would you expect to make money at a negative EV game and then claim it is rigged software that prevented it. That said, if someone wants a real test that can actually prove something, I'll do it. However, I expect to be compensated for my expected loss regardless of the actual results.

    Thanks,
    Thaddeus

    John if the line does change before game time will it stay zero juice?

    Well if you want me to play -EV game to prove its not rigged of course I want my expected losses back. Just my expected ones though - if it is truly rigged I'd lose a lot more than expected. So essentially I'm offering to waste my time and risk my points in the event I'm wrong for a "gain" of making the game 0 EV.

    yes providing a link to an old thread and a screenshot proves that all casino games are rigged.
    WHAT IS THE POINT OF RIGGING A - EV GAME WHEN THE PLAYER WILL LOSE IN THE LONG RUN ANYWAY ?!

    while there may be shady software out there it is certainly not the norm . you know how many times i have heard people bitch about sbr poker being rigged.

    Not worth it imo. 400 hands of 100pts has expected mean of -185 points. That's at 0.5% house edge, that right?

    Problem is the variance, 1 standard deviation is anywhere from -2300 to +1900pts. I guess you have the points to not be bothered by that of course

    That variance is of course why you get people claiming it's rigged.....

    SBR John I like this. I can tell you are ready for the pros to start. I sure enjoyed watching college on last Saturday. I think you should stick the poker on Sunday nights maybe. I am usually not here on Sundays starting this next week. I am going to a sports bar to play QB1 on buzztime this year during the football season. It is going to be a lot of fun on Sundays and Monday nights this season.

    The variance combined with poor play create larger than expected losses, but yeah its probably the variance that gets people thinking the game is rigged the most.

    If a casino really wanted to rig a game, I think it would be far more profitable to keep the EV the same (small negative) but decrease the variance by altering odds during a run (to make it stop easier). If someone thinks a game is rigged (real or otherwise), they'll lose their deposit and never return. If they think it is fair, they will likely re-up many times. Thus if a casino is smart and want to cheat, they should rig to game not to increase their take but rather to decrease the player's variance.

    Thaddeus

    P.S. It is obviously a waste of my time to "test" the software even if I'm compensated for it. However, people complaining about "rigged" software (casino or poker) really annoys me for some reason.
