My K-6 caught a 5 on Paradise last night. It must be a bug.

I'm up about $1.70 there this week.

The odds of that happening are like in the thowsands.

You lost ten bets in a row. Each bet was a bit worse than even money. So... ah.. .the odds of that happening are one in several hundred. (1023:1 for even money bets.) Tough break there, pal, but it happens to hundreds of people every day even at honest internet casinos.

There have been online casinos that have had blackjacks that give totally unrealistic results (-4 and -5 standard deviations). So there is every reason to be sceptical.

But in those cases the sample size is bigger than 10 hands.

Why do I get the feeling that you have no idea who to calculate those odds?

I have wagered a lot more than... well at least 100k on online BJ and my results reflect the expected house advantage more or less spot on.

I know WoO documented in detail at least one online casino that was cheating people, and even figured out what seemed to be the method of cheating: basically, if the dealer took one card and busted, it would randomly take another card instead (which it would keep no matter what). Kind of a strange way of doing so, but the numbers seemed to indicate this was exactly what was going on.

But most reputable online blackjack games are beatable..if they have nice cushy bonuses [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
