Online BlackJack rigged or just extremely unlucky?

[oriole]

I have played about 3500 hands on microgaming single deck blackjack with ~190 buy-in loss, about 500 hands on pokerstars classic blackjack with 40 buy-in loss and 250 hands on partypoker pro blackjack 50 buy-in loss. I used the perfect strategy charts and according to wizardofodds risk of ruin chart the chances of me losing this many buy-ins is about 0.05 - 0.2%. I know I have non existent luck, but even for me this is just absurd.

 

Does anyone have a very large hand sample that shows that their house edge is actually 0.5-1% and not more like 5%?

hello oriole and welcome there are a few people on this site that play blackjack and study this sort of thing your talking about I myself play mostly roulette but there are a few threads on here that cover most of what your saying and I/m sure people will reply for you in time but if you go to the forum main page and go for casino general there some stuff on it on page 2 there about halfway down the page under the heading blackjack fair play or not hope that helps for now anyway cheers phil.

To be fair there have been instances whereby companies (Game Tech being one of the group with rogue operators in the past) have been found to had table games whereby the player couldn't win.

 

If you have doubts about the validity of the games, simply walk away

I don't play anymore, but how could I have known before trying? I can't know for sure until I have large enough hand example.

Obviously all casino games are rigged in houses favor, but I expected the odds to be as advertised. Until you have large enough hand sample you can't be sure about the actual odds. You're not as smart as you think you are.

But of course, my friend. All of us are not as smart as we think we are, or can be. So we need to make these mistakes and find out for ourselves, then we become smarter, then we know for sure, and then we become wiser! 

 

All games are not 'rigged'...that's the wrong word to use...all games are designed and programmed to be in the provider's and casino's advantage, or else it isn't profitable business for them! 

 

We gamblers, we need to understand this. We are gambling. We are playing with lop-sided risks. We know the odds are in the house favour. But not all gamblers share the same good luck...or the same bad luck...so there are winners and there are losers...lots of them!
