I've played around a little bit with the cvcx demo, but I don't understand all of its features. With that being said, I've still considered buying the full version but was wondering if there any...
I read that the gambling tax code amendment was included in the budget bill by U.S. Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho. The 90% rule was estimated to generate $1.1 billion, but I am not sure if this is per...
We have had over 8,000 lurkers accessing the site for two days now, clearly bots. The server has no problem with that. If it increases to the point anyone notices, please email me so I can turn on...
Cac, are you actually playing on online platforms now? I was doing $40-50M of wagering per year aggregated across all the online sites in my state. My margins were fantastic. I was accumulating a...
Hello all,
I normally play $25 min dbl deck games. I typically buy in for only $300 initially and buy in for more when needed. I don't know anyone else who counts to be able to ask, so, what's...
Hi Sidecount,
There are probably casinos that are legitimate and supposedly supervised and regulated. You don’t know that for sure and you assume that’s how it should be, but I’m more skeptical,...
I am all in favor of you doing work to give us all peace of mind. I have only an academic interest in the subject because I play literally hundreds of different games and never expect to have enough...
I saw some videos of people shilling for casinos operating in some off the wall places. The site looked quickly built and just screamed shady. I would be willing to bet what is mentioned above does...
Hi Archvaldor,
The book you mentioned is a very good source, thank you for reminding me about it. Even though it talks about a shoe with missing cards, it's not exactly the kind of cheating I'm...
Yeah, the house edge is definitely higher than what basic strategy assumes, but that’s usually what people base their calculations on. So why would they need to cheat with a rigged deck? Honestly, it...
U.S. Rep. Dina Titus, who chairs the Congressional Gaming Caucus, said Monday she joined Rep. Ro Khanna, California, in bringing forward the FAIR BET Act to restore full tax deductions for gambling...
I mean, why wouldn't they cheat at virtual (animated) style blackjack then? Why wouldn't they cheat on roulette and other games they offer? Why don't they just say a slot has a 98% RTP to draw in...
I only play at sites that are heavily regulated by US state laws. I assume this means that someone is checking shoes/decks that are taken out of play.
Every site I play at has transaction logs. It...
Don't know much about online live dealer blackjack, but my thinking is why wouldn't they cheat? I assume most of those places have 0 oversight and we all know the human nature of greed. If they...
This issue is covered in Thorp's "Mathematics Of Gambling" pg 14 "Missing Cards: The Short Shoe". There are full text copies you can google online.
But this is all just basic statistical...
It would be helpful to know how the cards are checked before being put into play. How often are regulators watching this process in person? Do they record video every time and then subject to...
True enough. It’s actually best to read at point described. It’s really quite entertaining and thought provoking. Note, I said - simulate Martingale - it’s not a true martingale.
When I play online versus live dealers, the casino always has an edge much greater than TD-BS. Why would they need to cheat by using a deck that provides physical proof of cheating? Half the players...
