In reply to Caruso...
It was not a losing strak of 34, but simply a loss of 34 out of 36. I believe I won 1 hand after the first few, and then another after the 25th hand. All other hands were LOSSES.
I read about your situation at Pharoah's at bj21.com, and think that you need to have a larger sample size than that before you can accuse them of cheating. However, your results do make me wonder.
Sirius.. sorry for taking this thread off topic. So let's get back to best software:
My 3 favorites are Intermedia (Stanley Acropolis), BossMedia, and WorldGaming.

Evening, Dave.
Well, my sample size was pretty miniscule in comparison to what you've been doing, but remember, at $5 a hand the money can anish damn fast (it did), which is painful for a committed bonus hunter used to zero ariance. It was something like 40 units lost out of 120 hands, and I don't care what anyone says, there is no way on heaven, hell, earth or anywhere else that that game is "random"; think about it: 0.07% player edge; a high roller playing $100 per hand would have approximately a $20 per hour win rate. Do me a favour. That aside from what I saw unfolding before me.
The chances of walking into a 34 hand losing streak from any given point are about 1 in 3.5 billion (3,500,000,000); I haven't a clue how to calculate the probability of such an event occuring AT SOME POINT in a given sample size, and also it may have been three less gargantuan losing streaks separated by individual wins, which brings the odds tumbling down - but again, pretty ridiculous. Random?... | | Read Entire Entry |

Two years back I won over $10,000 from a 400 buyin on Bossmedia's single player ersion (which is a completely seperate download from thier multi-player casino) The withdrawal took 2 months since they only allowed cashin's for 5000 per month. I then had a constant losing streak which went on for 6 months straight. The good thing is I only bet the minimum during major losing streaks, but I could not win once in 6 months and lost back < 1800 of it. I then complained to Bossmedia to ask if the game had been changed, and for them to release gaming logs. They claimed the game had not changed, and after 3-4 months, they FINALLY released logs to me. During that time, if I recall, I was playing the multi-player ersion and I lost 34 out of 36 hands. This was my worst losing streak in all my years of gambling (both land based and online). It made me wonder if the game was rigged, since I had previously won too much (two years back in addition to the $10,000 I also had much smaller wins which added up to several... | | Read Entire Entry |

I sympathise- 3 neices and 2 nephews, 2 godchildren-all of whom assume I am a rich and glamorous jetsetter who needs to spend money on them- alas I have no rich maiden aunts either.
Oh well back to writing unintelligible legalese to pay for the Christmas present extravaganza .

Since starting to play seriously online in May 2000, I've enjoyed a run of 18 straight months with profits - November broke the spell when three max banker bets playing baccarat at Wild Jacks saw me finish the month a couple of hundred dollars in the red (although December winnings are in the four figures so I'm not too disgruntled!).
My winnings have ranged from $500 through to four figures for 11 of the 18 months. Although I've played with bonuses, most of my winnings have come from non-bonus play.
I played a lot of RTG last year and earlier this year, but have stayed away since the summer. I too favour MG blackjack, as well as Cytech blackjack as offered by Geisha, and the Ki... | | Read Entire Entry |

I am surprised how much people make stupid plays absolutely out of Basic strategy and loose money.
Yesterday I saw in InterCasino player with name Noi. Really Big Boy.
He begun with $21 000 and continued to $32 000 with $500 flat betting.
After that I went to bed.

I know only one... Fortune Room. I think, they have some incorrect information.
WWII has been tragedy, but almost same tragedy has been 40 years Communist dictature. Now this is history. We are in NATO and in year 2003 or 2004 we join European Union.

I rarely play the multiplayer games. They are slower and sometimes I let other players distract me. At Microgaming casinos the single deck game has a lower house edge so I play there instead of the multiplayer ersion. You would not learn any secrets from me anyway. I only play the basic strategy according to the charts from thewizardofodds.com and anyone can do the same.
I am sorry so many sites will not allow people from your country to play for money. Maybe that will change in the future.
By the way, I attended a high school where many of the teachers were from Bohemia or children of immigrants from Bohemia. They were ery dedicated and ery happy to have come here at the outbreak of WWII. One of them had to be smuggled out because Hitler wanted him to work on the atomic bomb project. He worked on our Manhattan Project and was later the head of the Chemistry Department at St Procopius College, now called Benedictine College in Illinois.

Trader, I now start playing in casinos after almost 2 years. In the past 2 years I played BJ in my country a lot, but here have casinos bad rules. They would like high profits.... and for example Slots can have in my country repay only 80%. I think, lot they have that minimum. (I never play any slots)
Residents here playing BJ ery, ery low.. American roulete and Keno is ery popular.. is prosecution by state .
I am a ery good sport better.. Tenis is my specialization.
Now I memorize Cryptologic Basic strategy and want play in InterCasino or similar good inet casino.
And also .... I watch a good players...!
Where you playing......

Shush, Marat. Don't give the casinos any ideas.
No, I am not a professional player. I am not really a professional stock trader either, but sometimes if I make good money at it a few months in a row($50,000 or more) I begin to feel like it and get my head handed to me the next month. I am actually pretty new to gambling and have been on an extended lucky streak for almost three months. If you had told me two years ago that I would play a hand of blackjack online for $1000 I would have injured myself from laughing so hard. I still don't do it ery often, but lately almost every time I put down $500 or $1000 on a single hand, I win and it makes up for any previous losses.

Microgaming is faster with the sounds off. Especially the newer software. If you turn off the sounds and animations it's really fast.
I'm sure the software is fair although I can't remember how many times in a row I stood on 20 at Casino Fortune today and the dealer would get 21 (I sat staring at the card being turned over and I always knew the dealer would get 21 haha). Sometimes the cards are like that but it turned out ok in the end. Another strange thing is I was always down before I started increasing my bets even though I'd won something like the last 10 splits and doubles in a row!

I have already done the new player thing with all the Fortune Lounge Casinos, so I just picked the one where I already had a tiny balance and discovered they had a mystery bonus for today only. I suspect I will be as lucky as I have been with Wild Jack's mystery bonus, $5, 7 times in a row.
Now if everyone who owes me money would just send it. I have $20,000 outstanding right now and much of it is RTG sites. It could have been a lovely Christmas.
Maybe I could rent my lucky shoes to some of you. I just can't seem to lose since the start of September. They are size 12.

I would be careful about Royal Plaza. The only time i cashed out there the check bounced and it basically took months to get a replacement. Not to mention numerous emails etc,etc.

LOL, Merry Christmas! You gotta give us all some lessons!
There is one more with the New software.
Royal Plaza. Not Royal Vegas. I don't have it but I'm sure they do here. I don't push it to newbies cause of the terms.
It is one of one where you must have 3xs your deposit in order to cash out. I think it is 70.00 match, so you would have to have 210.00 to win or just keep going to you loose the your 70 bucks. you should be ok here. Either way.

Well, I downloaded the new Royal Vegas Casino software, but it is not the newest ersion of MG that I liked at Captain Hook. It is faster than the ersion I last used in June and I did win a little plus whatever "mystery bonus" is to be added Monday, so I guess it's OK.
Orbital does have the latest and greatest and I won there too, plus the $110 new player bonus. They also have the industry standard comp program of .1%. That makes their single deck blackjack almost an even money bet with a house advantage of only .04% net. Now I wish I had gone there earlier.
Thanks again for the tip CPA. Every few hundred helps. I have nieces who are or will be attending private schools.

Thanks for the tip. I have not played Fortune Room for a while. I think I have a $1 balance from comp points at one of them. I never got around to Orbital, but I guess I will.
I just sort of fell into this high roller stuff. One minute I am playing $2 blackjack and the next thing I remember there is $1000 on the table. Whatever works, I'm for it.

Trader have you looked ar Orbital and Fortune Room?
Both have nice sign-ups too. You seem to play for higher stakes than most of us so the Fortune Room might be your best shot for the sign up! these are same as Hook with better sign ups.

I tried Fortune Room MG client and as IT professional I must say, that graphic of BJ table is tragedy.
I know, rules and fairness is more important, but this is game and graphic programming is't too difficult.
In programm About is er. 1.2.07

MG has a "next generation" ersion out, but I have only seen it at Hook Casino. I really think it is an improvement over the ersion 4 I see everywhere else. The blackjack game plays much faster and allows you to bet in $1 increments. They are running a modest promotion this weekend with a prize drawing. I usually pass on that type of promotion because I don't know what it is really worth. There is no way I can know how many entries I am competing against. I did win $1000 at Orion like that once, and I didn't even know I was entered in a drawing. It was a great surprise.

Today I playing a lot with Boss Media client and dealer use only 20,21.
This is my first time play with single deck and is't too good experience.
MG has poor graphic and did't use offline mode for training. But dealer oise is wonderful !
Cryptologic has good graphic, good oise, but their programmers is
a little poor. I have standard comp. and client crash me in every 10 min. Global Version is absolutely useless for me.. crash immediately after start. On both systems WIN 98 and 2000.
My friend have same problem.
Anyone has same problem too?
