When I said "the number of decks would be deemed somewhat irrelevant in most cases" that's what I meant. I'm not proposing no difference because of number of decks used, only that the impact is reduced dramatically by a reshuffle after every hand.
My last 50 hands:
L,P,L,L,L,L,W,W,L,L,L,L,L,L,L,L,L,L,L,L,L,L,W,L,L, P,L,P,P,L,W,L,W,W,L,L,L,L,L,L,L,L,W,L,W,L,L,W,W,W
I know I'm going to hear that 50 hands are not nearly enough to judge, and I agree. The sad thing is that this is not an unusual chain of events. This streak began when I increased my wager from $1 to $25. This has become quite predictable. I know to just try to sneak in a larger bet here and there rather than try to keep the wager increased, because the house is guaranteed to streak and suck the money out of me in record time.
Let me clarify one thing; I'm not a disgruntled player who has lost a boat load of money. Actually, when I first started playing on Bodog, I cashed out 25K in a one week period, all from Blackjack, and $1000 deposit. I consider myself a skilled, disciplined player, but by no means do I claim to be an expert or professional. Since that early cash-out, I've seen a dramatic change in the way the cards are falling. I don't mean because I'm losing, I'm referring to patterns that were not there before. The pattern where I lose 10 hands in a row, win one, and the dealer wins the next hand. It's money that this is going to happen. The one where the dealer consistently wins multiple hands in a row and the player gets his wins in a mixed fashion one here, two there, etc. I've noticed an undeniable delay in the turn cards that wasn't there before.
Isn't it possible that something that could so easily be manipulated, is? I have a feeling that when Bodog identified me as someone who mixes up the bet, and plays for profit (yes I play for profit, I don't get entertainment out of pissing away $$, if I want to do that I'll go to a strip club), then that perverbial switch was flipped. Someone started paying attention. Skunx, your reply hit home for me, because that's exactly what I was seeing.
Something is rotten in Denmark, or Costa Rica, or Canada, or wherever they are. I'm going to send my hand histories to Wizard of Odds, I hope it is taken seriously. I worry that Bodog is the only site that he pushes, and wonder if he'll be truly bias.
Hey, if I'm wrong about all of this, then I'm wrong. I haven't gotten any replies from my original thread from anyone saying they've had the same problems. Maybe it is just me.
But please someone explain to me why Voltran 2007 rogued evey other Kahnawake site but Bodog? What's the difference?
