Party Poker Blackjack seems really tilted to the house advantage! I realize in a game such as BlackJack, or any casino style gambling game, there will be upswings and downswings. Party Poker, however, seems to defy the odds almost every single time. I have never in my life seen a "dealer" consistenly pull 4-7 card 21's. In the last 3 weeks, I have made attempts to play (using basic strategy) and lost every single time. Any tiny win, was immediately followed by losses again and again. One day, I decided to start with $100 and play $5 hands (splitting and doubling where necessary). I lost the first 10 hands in a row. (this includes having 20 against a dealer showing a 4, 5 or 6 on four occassions and having the dealer pull 21 on all four occassions. I also had 2 double down opportunities - The first double down chance, I had an 11 with the dealer showing a 6. I doubled down only to receive an Ace and watched the dealer pull 4 cards to 17 and win. I then had another double down opportunity with a 10 against a dealer showing a five and I received another 10. The dealer then pulled 8 cards to get a 21!!! At one point, the dealer got blackjack 4 hands in a row. Now, I can understand if this was a one or two time experience, but I have now been playing over 3 weeks and almost always watch the dealer pull 5-7 card 21s. I also notice that many of the times I get blackjack dealt to me, the dealer also gets a blackjack and I push. It is also fascinating to watch when I win a hand and then press the next bet up, 3 out of 4 times I lose the next 4-5 hands in a row. I then finally lower my bet and win a hand. (Almost to entice me to press up again) So press up again and lose the next 4-5 hands in a row again. I find it hard to believe I am on "that" bad of a losing streak that any dealer could win that many times in that fashion consistently. I am curious if anyone else has been experiencing this same type of behavior? Any word on if Party Poker is rigging their BlackJack games? I hear tons of rumors that they "rig" their poker tables, but I am still extremely scheptical that a site that large would need to rig anything. They make enough as is on the rakes and other costs. I just could not believe the types of hands I watched the dealer pull almost every single time over the last 3 weeks. Maybe other people have had better luck. If so, I would love to hear any of those stories.
