Default Re: Do you believe the shuffle is really random online???

There is the field of results that has spots of losing streaks; when first starting to play one is unlikely to run into many of those spots, but the longer one plays the more likely one is to step on those losing (as well as winning) streaks that are longer and longer the longer one has been playing.

The randomness has partly to do with above but one other view is to know the odds that tell that one should be winning some hands like 3 or 4 times out of five, so one should be seeing winnings and then an occasional lose, that won't then bother because of all that winnings.

One can verify that by the odds as well as dealing out hands from a real deck and seeing it really should be so.

There are sites where it looks like one is not getting those odds, but on the long run one is still winning what one should. One likely is not seeing the odds because one is not putting it on note every time when one did win that hand that will be sucked out or so 20% or so, and the different styles of play at different limits and places.

One can also compare how the cards come out at different sites if it looks normal, then not play if one doesn't think so; there are other sites to choose from. But I have been playing at three sites now where the cards do not look like coming out normally but the long run results are still what they should be.
