Another REASON to stay away from Online Casinos

Sportsbook side is having a bad run of luck and profits are falling, what can we do, oh what can we do? It's easy as hell to up the hold on casino software (forget about a fair gm) now the 2% hold is 5% :doh1

Sure they can! Online BJ or for that matter video BJ in land casinos are nothing more than slot machines that can be 'adjusted' to the % of payout

It is possible to run a 'fair' online BJ gm HOWEVER the software can be adjusted to increase hold.

What makes you think poker rooms are "random" and not adjustable by the proprietor?

Just thought they were? is it the same bullshit? damn where can you get a fair game these days? seems everything is rigged?

I don't know which are rigged but you can be damn sure they can be rigged!

Decks are shuffled using a pseudo random number generator (as opposed to an actual random number generator). Pseudo means "false; sham; phony". But this is the best that computers can do since every random number generator must start with a "seed" number.

Now the person(s) who know that "seed" can know all the cards that will be dealt in a specific hand. Who knows this "seed"? At least the programmer(s) and compnay(s) who developed the software. Who do they tell? Hell if I know - who would you tell or would you just keep it to yourself?

Anyhow I thinking playing online poker or blackjack is like calling an 800 # and playing over the phone. Is the guy on the other end telling you the truth? Who knows but I sure wouldn't trust him. Any time there's cash involved you can bet people are looking for ways to swindle.

And in poker even with a pseudo fair games, players in partnerships will kill you.
