I don't think there are any conspiracies going on at reputable shops like Bodog. Some of you guys are talking as if you expect to be winning 50% of your blackjack hands or something. In that sense, you guys are right about every casino everywhere being rigged- the very rules of the games are rigged to give the house an advantage. That's the rational explanation for why you end up losing money in the long-run playing casino games, but apparently it's easy to interpret uneven odds as rigged cards and dice.
(I know I'm going to get a bunch of personal anecdotes about how I'm wrong because somebody once lost 20 hands in a row. All I've got to say about that is: if you don't think that losing streaks exist in the real world, or you're unable to handle them without accusing people of cheating you, then maybe you shouldn't be gambling.)
