Online versus Live

[Professor777]

I have a betting system that works when I bet live, but fails online. I have had sessions on line where I have only won 25% of the hands when I have played at least 500 hands. It has happened 4 times in my last 10 sessions. In fact, in the best session, I only won 41.2% of the time. I do not consider pushes in my hand count.

Are the big online casinos blackjack games reliable? I just played 53 hands and only won 12. There was only one push. I just will not play any more online backjack.

Anyone else wondering about playing blackjack online?

Thanks,
Tom

I can assure you that happens in live games as well. Even a pro player will only win about 47% of the hands he plays (excluding ties, otherwise it is about 43% wins, 48% losses and 9% ties). It is not rare to have several losing sessions in a row or to be in the red for months at a time. The variance in blackjack is fierce. That is just the nature of the game.

I’ll pretend I didn’t read that part…

I've only tried it once with $500 and lost after long sessions. I immediately felt uncomfortable because the hands didn't seem normal. There were very few stiff hands. The hands were predominately 17 or 20 with very few in between. There also was very little variance and only a steady decline.
Lack of variance is in my opinion a good warning sign. I need the assurace of seeing the cards shuffled.

Another reason I dislike on-line casinos is that they can track your bets.

Care to tell us your system? Usually systems work in reallife and not online because in real life you don't actually play many hands, only 90 or so per hour, where as online you could hundreds and hundreds and so the house edge always plays itself out online where as in real life you don't give it enough time to

This is why you need the CIPHER BJ system! zg

I became an enthusiastic bonus-hustler several months ago. So I have played several gillion hands of blackjack online.

It may feel weird, but I'm satisfied with the results from the major providers (MG, RTG, playtech, boss media) over the long term.

I've heard the explanation that online results may seem stranger because of the faster play and larger number of hands, thus resulting in more streaks over time.

Feeling like online gambling is rigged rigged is human nature. For instance, I experienced a very large loss playing 10,000 spins of roulette at a microgaming casino (others have told me just over 3 SD). I've also had winning sessions at the same game. My own hunch is that if that particular game is set to spin too fast, results may be streakier than usual (but still the same house edge over the long run)

If he had my system, he'd have both live and online casinos covered.

My system gives me exray eyes in assessing other systems and will be the standard against which all other systems will be judged.

What is the CIPHER BJ system?

He was just being sarcastic when he suggested that.

CIPHER is a jerk who is conning naive suckers into "investing" their life savings in his online blackjack play. Because he came up with a super-duper trend analysis system that detects how the online random number generator works, even with just a small sampling.
