i dont think THEY rig anything, i think it's blackjack software, it's just different than the real flow of a game.
Actually, if you double on soft hands and know how to handle soft hands, the odds go to a near 50/50 chance
The main reason the casino wins is because they have more money than you do. You win a few thousand they announce it, crank open some champagne, trying to show the other patrons that SOMEBODY won, but when you lose a few thousand, your done, at least for the night. And of course, the fact that you must bust first, protecting them from busting.
If you dont hit, you take that advantage away from them.
But dont think for one minute that 1000 hands is enough for real odds to show. You could lose 40 hands in a row, i know I have, the dealer has gotten 5 blackjacks in a row, while I have never seen that in person, EVER.
I also think alot of people hold on 17 too much. Your not going to beat a dealer in most cases unless you have 20, at least, i almost never win when holding on 17, it's hard to do, but i beliueve you have a better chance of winning not holding on 17 when dealer has 10
but the house edge is not even 1% when all hands are played perfectly.
but if so close, why ar eplayers down 200 300 400 in 10 minutes, almost everytime you play?
