online casinos

What is the experience you'all have had with the sports books casino sites. Spent all day on Diamond winning on sports, then like a dumdass blew my load on a sunday night in 20 minutes. They had bj 2/3 times. Is that the norm for these books?

To be honest with you, I won't ever put a nickel of my paper in an online casino. BetJam was kind enough to give me a 10$ free play once which I burned up in seconds. Your better off taking the money out of your pocket and burning it with your lighter, or you can mail it to me.

The exact same thing has happened to me and my friends many of times. I recently lost some money at Bodog and the cards were bogus. I emailed them and they gave me some bs automated response. They are all crooks.

I happen to like online BJ. I have made some good $$$ playing on Sportsbook.com & I have seen others make some excellent cake on there as well. There is a certain way to play & once you find it your golden. I play differently, than I normally would in a real casino.

However, I am currently switching over to BetJM to play my BJ though. I do not like how sportsbook is handling this whole payout issue.

As far as the house pulling a BJ 67% of the time....I've never seen it, but I'm sure it happens.

I played at VIP a few years ago. I won over $1000 in 3 days playing 1-5 dollars a hand. I really thought it would continue that way. i got crazy and went to $25 a hand, blew almost all of it ,worked my way back up to to where i was only to blow it all again. Ended up depositing more to try to win it back and you can guess how that went. i told myself I would never play again but every few months I'd blow a couple hundred. I had a few winning sessions but I'd always do something stupid in the end. I just didn't know when to quit. That's the only reason I'm glad Neteller went away, it stops all my impulsive Blackjack sessions.

You always have to remember. The online casino is a Program (Software) that someone created and like most programs, they do what the programmers want it to do.

With that said, I've placed my $1 or $2 on Blackjack. With negative results.

I'll just point out that available evidence strongly indicates that casino software available from the major online providers are completely legitimate.

While unverifiable impressions to the contrary might abound, I am aware of no statistically reliable substantiation of claims of major online casino malfeasance (although see the following Analysis and Report about the English Harbour Double-Up Bet Software Bug by Michael Shackleford, aka the "Wizard of Odds", from May, 2006).

Legitimate in what way? The programmer (software developer) sets the outcome of the game. It's not an open source software.

They had bj 2/3 times. Is that the norm for these books?

Sure they didn't get bj 9 times out of 10?? Or was it 99 times out of 100?

The programmer doesn't set the outcome. The cards are dealt according to a RNG. I would prefer an online casino over a landbased casino any day.

Legitimate in the sense that the likelihood of any given outcome is not significantly different than that which would be expected by chance.

The programmer doesn't set the outcome of a specific game, instead he sets the probabilistic rules that govern the outcome of any given game. In the cases of large 3rd party software providers such as Microgaming, RTG, Playtech, and Cryptologic, and with the exception of certain rather high-level settings (as in some slots and video poker), these probabilistic rules can no more be specified by the end casino than by the end user.

I'm not claiming that there are no online casinos out there that cheat, but rather that there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that the major casino software providers are any less "fair" than might be expected by chance alone.

[uPaxus]

I think the term in question here is Outcome.

What is outcome?

[cwsulzba]

All I have to say is everytime you have a 19 they have a 20 and when you have a big bet and draw a 20, they always end up pushing when a ten is showing. Other random numbers do not come up nearly enough.

[BuddyBear]

I've banned myself from the casino for every book I have an account with....don't waste your time with online casinos. They are rigged.

and when you have a big bet and draw a 20, they always end up pushing when a ten is showing.

Everytime? Always? Assuming that this is one of the major software platforms then get the hand histories and then you can bring them down single-handedly. However, my guess is that it's hyperbolic nonsense.

[tacomax]

They are rigged.

Any evidence to back up your claims? My guess is no.

Not for craps. There is no mystery when you play craps at the casino, unlike blackjack because you see them put the deck of cards in the shuffler that disappears for awhile and you wonder if it knows how to set the cards up. But some casinos have the dealer shuffle.

[cwsulzba]

I actually got my statistics once and my win percentage was 30 percent and they had the win percentage by levels of bet amounts and the higher my bet was the lower my winning percentage was. I have lost money several times and have never won.

[cwsulzba]

tacomax, why are you so confident in an online casino, are you a fool?
