I still go back to my emotion theory with this. I dont know how, but the game knows when you're more capable to quit for good and tries to keep you there. That is my theory on why I think blackjack is rigged.

Online BJ is definitely rigged.

That being said, could money be made with bonuses? Yes, but not as much as you'd think on paper.

If it was so definitely rigged wouldn't we have proof such as play logs? There are many claims of being rigged but rarely any proof. 95% of all online casinos are legit. There have been exceptions over the years, but most casinos using a major sotware platform are legit.

This may be the single-most fallacial statement I have ever read. You are telling me a machine or computer program can tap into the emotions of a person literally thousands of miles away. You have stumbled upon the greatest scientific discovery of our generation. Not only have you figured out artificial intelligence, you have figure out that inanimate objects can control emotions and human behavioral patterns.

Please people let's get real here.

Well thats my theory, don't really care if you believe it or not. There's also another thread in the NBA forum of a guy losing hand after hand at roulette because he kept wanting to get back what he lost. Getting back to the topic at hand, stay away from the casinos they are rigged.

I was playing BJ at the IP a couple of years ago and was having a winning session. I was there with some friends and they were doing their own thing elsewhere on the floor. At one point I put a bunch of chips in my pocket so if they showed up, they wouldn't know how much good I was doing (they like to get into other people's pockets). Eventually they show up at my table and I decide to cash out. The dealer takes my chips and adds them up. The pit boss watches and says so everyone can here .."you should have another 900". I couldn't believe that not only they knew to the dollar how much I won, but that they blurted it out in front of the people I was keeping that info from.

The IP has really gone down hill. Had many happy stays there for over 20 years. A few years ago I stayed there, talked with a rep. before hand told him how much i would be gambling at blackjack and sports. "No problem", he said "make sure you put your food on the card too, you will be covered with the action."

I gambled more than I originally told him, but was presented with a $520 bill at checkout. Requested to talk to the rep, he stuck his head out of the back and said "sorry you didn't give enough action."

Too bad, used to enjoy that place.

Best winning session I ever had was 2200$ playing blackjack at Pinnacle sports. Worst was at BetJamaica, lost 17 hands in a row. Wasn't betting much 5-10$ a hand. NEVER play blackJack at BetJamaica. Now that casino is rigged.

This could be possible. It's all about bet sizes and losses. A computer program could identify somebody chasing 100%.

Fascinating post. I don't know what to make of this, and evidently, GreenDoberman can't really respond to this post since it's about his employer.

In any case, I am curious of the "rules & etiquette" at the casino: I don't think it's permissible to take your chips off the blackjack table *DURING* a session that you are playing in. You are more than welcome to cash out *some chips* with the dealer between shoes, that's my best assumption?

Anyone know?

Definately rigged.

How do you explain my getting 21 and still losing?????? And it was a reputable book that's been mentioned a lot here.

It's not poker, you can take chips away. I used to do it all the time. Good surveillance knows you did it, and if you cashed some on the way back from the bathroom.

WVU, why do you back the books when theres story after story of people losing there asses off to this. Do these books have software that says they have to pay out a certain amount, etc.

i definitely lean to it being rigged. has nothing to do with some idiot losing 30K. just casually playing blackjack, you can see basic patterns in the game that just make you laugh. i know it has some defenders, and as much as gtc sounds ridiculous, he's slightly on to something

i do not play online black jack...it is far too easy to rig....but i horse around every now and then with $5-$10 hands and just see how it plays

when i do this, i experiment sometimes betting $1 hands for shits and giggles

as long as i keep the bet size small $1/$2 the game plays out realistic

as soon as i up my bet size, i lose....every single time...over two dozen times i'd say

and as soon as i begin to do a double or nothing system for experiments sake, you will lose ENDLESS straight every single time

bet $1, lose...bet$2...lose...bet $4....lose...bet$8 lose....bet$16....lose....bet $32 lose.......

i also look at the general #'s that they draw, compared to what i draw

the player always draws 10's unless you are on a double down number such as 10 or 11

the dealer always draws small cards, it's actually comical

and it is NOT difficult at all for a computer program to know when a person is chasing, or when they are doing a double down system

very easy for blackjack to caluclate average bet size...in basic readable cpu language in laymans terms:

-if avg bet size increases by 50% or more, then win % chance = 30%.
-if bet size increases by 100% or more, win % chance = 10%

if player dealt 11 AND executes double down, draw card 5 or less = 60%

if player risks 50% less than average bet size, player win % = 54%.

they'll give you your day to win...because they know everyone comes back

Wouldn't the software be suspect ?

It's not a reel-type slot machine. How can BJ pay a certain %age ? It depends on how you play your hand, if you hit 18's against a 6, it alters everything.

Either the cards are random, or there's a fix. The rules determine the hold, then how well you play. You should never be able to expect to win at online BJ,IMO... except if getting bonuses.
