Is blackjack on torn actually fixed or is my dealer counting his cards he just seems to constantly have 21 i just have 4 21s out of 6 turns for the dealer one of the others was i got a 19 and they worked a 20 with the two that could have made me get 21 like it does it so they know u wont press hit and if u do i bet that youd get a three not the two that the dealer draw out next has anyone ever really had luck here i got lucky once took 600 million out of it as u can see on my networth though as quick as i won it i stuck it back in bit by bit and ever since i feel asif ive been chasing that 500 again as i know i did it once

Well i say on e pior to that day over the perivous month i ended up getting 100mil out ine day which i lost aswell to poker i believe and then i took 300 out which i lost 200 that same day and the rest the following day

when i say out i dont mean ive put any money i to the game i just mean ive taken it from the casino each time ive done this aswell i would of had no more than 50 mil apart from when i got 500mil i had 125million from the 5dos i brought which only 40 got took to blackjack and with my first 25million deal i just went on a streak

I checked, blackjack is about 1/20

So my lower bound is 6C4*(1/20)^4*(19/20)^2, or 1 in 11,819. A royal flush (after drawing only 5 cards) is still rarer than that by over 50x.

That's 4 BJs in 6, and not 4 21s in 6, so it's actually much higher than that still.

That's an interesting calculation. Definitely quite rare, though if you play like 70 hands for 15 days that's close to almost a 10% chance. I would recommend if you think it's suspicious just play smaller bet amounts and see how it goes. But you could always just not play it too. The house wins in the long run anyways.

That calculation is actually the lower bound (it's actually more likely than that!) , being only 4 BJs out of 6, and not 4 21s out of 6 as per OP's experience. I did some estimations, and the dealer will land on 21, blackjack or not, to be about 12% (that actually makes sense, 21 isn't that common but the only options for a dealer's hand are 17-21 and bust). Redoing the math, it's actually surprising.

6C4*(12%)^4*(88%)^2 is about 1 in 415. That's actually only less rare than pocket aces by less than 2x (Pocket aces is 1/221).

It doesn't look that rare now, does it?

BTW, just in case other people are reading this, I did the 12% estimate by checking a bunch of cases. I did not take into account 6 card charlie because it's time-consuming, plus the error is about 1% anyway so it doesn't change much.

6C4= 6*5*4*3/(4*3*2*1)=15

As soooo many people have already said and noted the ONLY games that have no bias on them is the bookie and poker (although poker you can still have groups in personal chat channels saying the cards they have to each other).

There is nothing random in the wheel of fortune (although Leslie's messages are the best), hi lo, Keno, which is currently nerfed heavily, roulette and make no mistake blackjack.

They even warn you that you can lose heavily (and probably will).

Stick to RR and Bookies for an honest unbiased outcome.

It’s a random (RNG) system. Any outcome is possible, it just means you’re having a bad luck streak at that time.

Just remember, as in real life casinos, the house normally comes out on top.


Only bet what you can afford to lose.

I know you are a helper and all, but it is not random (RNG) in any way or format, there is no random number generator or virtual decks of cards - we all know this, there was even a forum announcement saying the coding has been altered to give the player a little more edge, so clearly bias is involved....

You are totally right though, bet what you can afford to lose. Its for fun, it isnt real but dont expect to generate profit from it all the time.

This is massively fixed. And I don't care what the devs say. Played it on here long enough with 1 deck which effectively is in our favour.
I also play it in real life and after almost 2 years of research. This in my opinion is definitely fixed.
Why else would they not totally ban you from gambling?
Its always a small suspension but never a full ban like I've asked many times.
You can ban yourself from real gambling sites for a period of what u ask. But not here. It's step by step.
This is their biggest way of cleaning your bankroll, thus improving the chances of you spending more real cash.
2 years I've looked at this. And u swear this is not chance. Horrible slimy bang out of order.
I'm out a here
Do not play their blackjack. It is rigged.
Bye

Dont i just know too well haha. my blackjack days are behind me if i do go i have a 1 million budget and if i lose it i dont chase it no more. Yeah thats 1 mill per day that i will afford to lose to casino if i feel like betting cause anything else just isnt worth my time if i lose more than a mill then thats eating away my hard earned profit
LoanShark1 [1321907]
Too much maths for me blackjack is a lose lose situation just dont bother trying to calculate unless your actually that smart and that is accurate then wow dude bet away
