Pasted logs to ChatGPT, asked if game could possibly have been rigged. (Not at all salty)

 

 

✅ Conclusion: Plausibly Rigged

Your session could be the result of bad luck — but the dealer’s improbably strong outcomes, your constant weak hands, and the near-total lack of dealer busts strongly suggest manipulated odds or a biased game system.

The fact that you’re not even sure that it’s rigged is further evidence that you don’t belong in the casino.

 

its PvP or nothing…

Swedish [3223361]

Well, there's the regular unfairness of the casino game, and there is casinos cheating.

But obviously my post was made in jest and shouldn't be taken too serious, I am well aware of how the gambling can swing. ;)

Everyone's saying how blackjack here is rigged but I've made over 400m profit on it so it's not rigged you just gotta get good.

Swedish [3223361]

Considering that the top 10s are full of people being net positive I think it's probably true, but some days it just works against you.

A lot of the top 10 were from when you were able to count cards -- it has since been nerfed to shuffle ever single hand.  Most don't play anymore and their statistics wont change because it's no longer good.  That group that used it hard and got it nerfed since quit but they also had several other casino games figured out and nerfed and the bookies shut down for a new bookie version with live bets.

 

If there even is anyone in the top 10 in blackjack and is still playing...and is positive... they've likely figured out the programming to when those "good days" are and will take that to their grave.  It is programmed and not a live dealer so it has to be programmed to behave a certain way... and good days are certainly possible to offset the days it bends you over and cleans your wallet out.

The top 10 are full of people who were around before they updated the system.

 

Blackjack now runs off 8 decks that are shuffled every turn. Good luck counting cards now. 

Swedish [3223361]

Wasn't aware it had changed, seems like it's kinda dumb to keep the stats from before the game was completely different then, those should be separated from the statistics of the actual game.

Shooby [2510470]

I could be misremembering but I also believe blackjack used to have a billion dollar bet cap before the system was rebuilt. So if you got lucky a few times on big hands, you were making bank. Now the bet cap is 100m so you have to play 10 hands match what used to be possible in one bet.

Yeah, all non-pvp games are rigged. You can still win money with them, but you will tend to have a win/lose ratio very similar to the global average 

TheLastTemplar [1992232]

Definitely rigged. The curious thing about these losses was not the actual losses (I've had similar if not worse luck on live dealers) but th cards. No dealer busts despite facing 4-6 8 times and 2-3 2 times. Only 3 20s on both sides (all on their side) is unusual as well. 20 is a very common hand.  

 

Needless to say, I'll play a hand once or twice when I get unbanned but I stick to real life. 

 

rayriflepie [3631352]

Gotta start small and use martingale, surrender bad hands vs 10/Ace, and follow strategy. Worked for me you probably just got unlucky. 

TheLastTemplar [1992232]

Surrender is uncommon. Martingale is just stupid (this screenshot plus a 12 loss streak in RR are just blatant evidence. Starting at even 250-500k you'd be billions down?). 

 

My stats on blackjack in torn are acceptable enough; I've lost and won enough in real life to be OK with this streak. It's the way the cards unfold that's unusual, like I said. Anyone with a deck of cards could see this for themselves even if they don't play live. 

rayriflepie [3631352]

Martingale is backed by mathematics if you have a large enough bankroll. Did you not look at my stats? It's proof of my 400m net profit. 

pawl [1821105]

If you're martingaling blackjack, I would recommend you (that 'you' personally) start with nothing higher than a $500 bet, assuming that the entirety of your networth is liquid for gambling. Anything more and you're just asking to give your money back to the game. Like Templar said, you're simply not rich enough to bother with it. 

Wong [1300458]

Has there been anyone here that has more than like $3b of consistent profit? I'm just curious because I think Blackjack is rigged too. I would like to gather all my hands and send the data to a nerd to just prove that there is proof this game is rigged.
