Skittelzz Posted June 8, 2023 #1 Posted June 8, 2023 The hosting web sites of Stake.com Draftkings, Wynn, Golden Nugget, FanDual, MGM, Caesar’s, et al, that market behind the glitzy stars and celebrities, without exception, subcontract to the “pseudo random number generating” publicly traded shills such as NetVent and SGP. These subcontracted shadow operatives, forever changing their names and call letters, use algorithms that prohibit the player from winning any hand that is deemed ( by computer and player history ) as “substantial” What does this mean? Stated simply, all players are algorithmically profiled by their betting style. The algorithm is then translated to only allow for the lower amount of the player’s bets to win, or “streak”; often accompanied by the software parlance’s congratulatory promos ( ie., “you’ve won 5X in a row”! ). You gain no points for being a valued member, good sport, or whatever con game you run on yourself to rationalize an addictive compulsion. These machinations are negotiated and computed in micro seconds. Once that same player has been seduced into raising whatever standard bet they make, BANG, the algorithm clamps it’s virtual teeth: Suddenly, the player is steamrolled by BlackJacks and 6 card 21’s. The algorithm is easily discernible by any seasoned player and, as such, the losses can be limited. For example, by avoiding doubling down, regardless of what the dealer is showing as an up card, and avoiding ALL large chase bets, you are less likely to be creamed by the avalanche of highly suspect, hard beats. You must go against whatever you have learned about the nature of blackjack. This is a different game; and you will never win any money. Dealer showing a 6? A 5 rests underneath, rest assured, temporarily hidden, as you contemplate wether to split your 9’s. It’s Scientific…in fact, it’s “Scientific Game Programming.” Don’t bother ponying up for insurance at the dealer’s omnipresent Ace in yo’ face: The virtual dealer pairs Aces with Nines…the better to grab your insurance and your stake. Those who do manage to stay afloat will, in time, succumb to the exorbitantly high play throughs and the ever expanding risk odds of these algorithms; regardless of how traditional the player is, or whatever risk tolerance that’s been acquired. Don’t be stupid enough to believe these site’s insistence that they are “regulated”; to grease any politician costs maybe 100K, let alone some Shep Proudfoot on a tribal land. Pony up the VIG, folks and stay exclusive to the respective Sportsbook’s. To venture into a virtual casino is an errand solely for the masochistically inclined. Good fortune shines no beacon here.
