Could the cryptos be rigged!

Radio · #1 07-17-2005, 10:38 AM

I know ill get flammed but on the crypto skins I just cant win, every good had gets cracked by some long shot draw. I thought i was just running badly but over the last week or so iv had several other players say the same things to me, and now im no so sure, it really does seem setup to reward bad play. On tables where the play is so bad that they are cold calling and capping with junk playing according to SSH should be very profitable and it is on every site except the crypto skins where every good had get cracked by crap.

feel free to flame away.

If so it's a recent development. I've always gotten paid well there. Variance is a bitch, as always in laggy games.

Yes.

They could. Probably aren't.

I have had good sucess at the cryptos, so I have no complaints.

However, I think pontoon is rigged, I have only had 1 winning session out of 7 or 8 at the cryptos. I think I'm going to start clearing my bonuses in blackjack again because you seem a lot less likely to go broke (I've cleared the bonuses over 90% of the time in Blackjack).... .001 HA probably won't make a noticeable difference for me anyways.

I have the exact opposite result: 6 sites, a year, thousands of hands, and my pontoon results are above expectation while my bj results are well below.

Crypto is definitely rigged, I thought everyone knew this.

Results are much more likely to be a result of bad play.

Review the following chapters in SSHE:

Part One: Gambling Concepts. (Don't skip the math.)
Random and Independent Events.
Protecting Your Hand.

I practice calculating EV decisions every day now, using PokerCalculator 1.1.4.1. VPIP for limpers, and PFR for raisers to identify hand ranges. It really helps to see where you could be improving.

Radio,

I have been killing the Cryptos this month, but losing at Ultimate Bet.

I know what you mean though, when running bad and getting rivered all the time you think these things like my (Tues-Friday afternoon)

Just keep your cool and things will change, they always do. Just minimize the damage when things are going badly, I am learning not to donk away extra money by tilting, I am really getting better at this.

UB is my personal nemesis. Even with bonuses included I am still a lifetime loser in their games while being a significant winner everywhere else. Ofcourse, UB seems to only be rigged against me. Conspiracy is always worst when it's personal. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
