again, its all software ...when they see you increase your bet BOOM they got you sucked in and you will lose 100 hands in a row....play 1$ a hand MAX or you deserve to get taken at them
Dante, you are exactly correct and they still can fit the numbers into a working accounting that gives a FAIR return!! I want people to believe and Dante is reputable and I hope that my honesty counts for at least one person believing that if you increase your wager size, in general, you will get pasted. If you play, play even bet amounts of however much. You don't have to do one dollar. But you can't go up and you certainly can't go down if you ever want to bet higher again. You begin increasing your wagers and you will lose SEVERAL hands in a row and you will get mad and you will flake out and lose most of your money. When I say several, I mean statistically several...15, 20...that is a lot in BJ. I've had it happen to me three or four times and I finally gave up. Believe Dante if you don't believe me. I see people in these threads always disagree with me. I have to wonder if they are paid reps or what. I don't disbelieve people. But, you can trust them or trust me. You can trust them or you can trust Dante. Simple as that. I LOVE BJ and have no reason to make this up. I WISH one place would run square/fair tables. They'd still make money. House odds are with them, but they are as greedy as we are and they want more than house odds.
Dante is right, place flat wagers and never vary and enjoy your winning or losing. I will also tell you one thing before you do that too. YOU WILL GO ON a winning streak that would make the Devil jealous. Then you go, wow...I should increase my wagers since I have won 13 hands in a row. 13!!!! I've done it and if you want to know the likelihood of that happening within my 6 years online experience (more than three or four times)...practically zero in a fair shuffle six deck game.
Flip a coin 12 or 13 times heads or tails IN A ROW. Once you have accomplished that in your lifetime you will understand that online casino games are for suckers and those paid to continue the suckering.
I will admit you can play flat amounts, never varying your wager. Doesn't have to be $1, but $1/bet increases the length of your play and your fun.
Believe me or not, but I want to be an evangelist on this subject.
HolySmoke...funny but VIP is the very first place I played as I had a sports account there. It was amazing how they did me. You will initially go on a winning tear that makes you want to cry (and is as unrealistic as the losing tear they are setting you up for) and then they SUCK it quick leaving you feeling like a real jerk for not quitting when up so much. Folks I have spent two years of my life (1999-2001) playing land based real card six deck blackjack 20-30 hours/week. There is a difference between online and hard card.
I want you to believe that they (online casinos) have independent accounting audits that show they have such and so winning/losing amounts. It is true. But I can have you play a game with me that fits the parameters of 6% push 2%BJ 43%W 48%L and take your money every day by not being random. tulsa
