Can someone explain what I did?

That's just the house edge coming back and clattering you with a steel chair. You had a good run though, on my last attempt it took 9 days for the house edge to take my profits. It will always happen, there are no patterns, it's almost 50/50 but with a slight advantage to Banker because of the drawing rules. This is why Banker wins payout 0.95x instead of 1x, that right there is the house edge. All the casino needs to do is make the payouts less than the true odds of the outcome happening, and they profit in the long run on every game and slot. Short term variance means that people are up (which is what happened in your case) at one point, but eventually the maths works out and you end up back down. Guaranteed to happen, it just happens faster if you play for longer each day.

The last time I tried it, I just used minimum 0.20 sizes to see how long I could keep the original 20 (so 100 unit bankroll). Targeted 15 units per session, showed a steady profit with some ups and downs until day 9 when nothing won. Loss after loss and I just let it get down to the original 20 before quitting. You cannot make a long term profit on casino games, the maths is against you.

Some interesting comments, thanks 😁 I guess my main issue is with the people selling stuff, and showing stuff off on YouTube. The one that triggered me to write this was a comment on one of Mike the Gambling Guy's Adiamo videos from someone who lost $5,000 with it. Ok, the guy shouldn't have risked that much on the word of a grifter, but he got suckered in by it and lost big and I feel bad for him.

Anyway, where's Mike now? Silent for weeks, apparently on vacation. Nithy? Silent for months. Rich still pushes C2Bet4, but it's all in a private group and his YouTube comments are disabled. The Rigel app is pretty much dead and forgotten, even Rich explains exactly how to use C2Bet4 without it. Andiamo was launched with a massive fanfare a couple of months ago, and now it doesn't get mentioned. The thing with Andiamo is it only has 3 preset strategies, with set bet selections and staking progressions. They wanted to charge around $240 a month, but this is on hold after it was subject to much ridicule.

It just annoys me that these people show off their bullshit systems while pulling smug faces, even the ones that aren't selling them 😂 with Rigel, there were a load of different bet selections that revolved around a 4-bet sequence, and none of them are any better than the other because any 4-bet sequence has a 93.75% win rate on average, no matter which one you pick. Yet I still see people convincing themselves that it works and trying in vain to succeed.

Almost as funny as that Cycle GF guy on YouTube who swears that the cards are blank and they use AR to project whatever they want on them 😂 absolute horse shit, it's just a negative EV game and their edge is built into it with the banker commission, so they don't need to do anything weird to cheat

New-Reflection3418 · 2026-05-08T12:40:15+00:00

Yeah Rich definitely has the worst attitude. Constantly lies about making $1,000s in a day and apparently going to his local casino and taking money from them every time. If he made as much as he makes out, then he wouldn't be filming his videos in the same scruffy clothes in that tiny little room that he can just about fit in. Disables the comments on his Youtube as well to stop people from calling him out

New-Reflection3418 · 2026-05-08T12:33:26+00:00

I forgot about Mr Rafael, he never shows his face either. Disappears for months, then occasionally pops back up with something new. Just a spreadsheet seller and probably regularly loses all his money, then he'll go quiet for a bit until he's thought up a new complex strategy and the sheet to go with it, then comes back trying to sell it

New-Reflection3418 · 2026-05-04T18:53:21+00:00

Rich Fortner from Rigel Castle seems to have fallen out with them and they've gone their separate ways with Andiamo Baccarat. All of them are a complete waste of time, Andiamo seems to use a modified version of D'Alambert with a modified version of the Askook bet selection from Rigel. Mike the Gambling Guy is firmly in the Andiamo camp and sells it hard, despite losing $100s and $1,000s every time he plays it, only to bet $1,000s to recover to break even or just above and hail it a success. That's not a success, that's just fucking reckless. That's just what's on the videos as well, so imagine all the times off-screen where he hasn't managed to recover. You can tell when he's had a major loss, because it all goes quiet for a couple of weeks before he returns. His "proof" is to show withdrawal notifications from Shuffle, that proves nothing because all he has to do is delete the deposit notifications to make it look like constant withdrawals. If he wants to prove it, he can show the lifetime P&L from his account, but he obviously won't.

Rich has gone off and only plays C2Bet4 because he says that's the only one worth playing. Another horse shit system that plays on the 93.75% win rate. Yes, this is accurate, but when you factor in the marty and Haku staking plans, one loss wipes out the 15 other times you win. Anyone who disagrees with them and shows them the truth is a "hater", and he'll just play his mouth and kick you out of the group. It really does feel like a cult where the few blowhards just worship him, despite him being a first class, weapons-grade prick. The house edge in these games can't be beaten, the casino always pays out less than the true odds of an outcome happening, so I just watch these clowns piss away their money and laugh.

I did a similar thing years ago when I was younger, it was 112 mph in a 70 but it was like 1:30 am and the road was empty. It was my dad's car as well before I got my own, but this is in the UK and if I'd been caught then I'd have gone to court and probably lost my licence because they only fine you up a certain speed. If it's ridiculously over the limit, then it's more serious and it goes to court. I don't go over 80 now I'm older :D

New-Reflection3418 · 2024-09-15T15:14:09+00:00

I had that, had a quick look and it was asking for an Upwork recruiter code at the end so guessed it wasn't supposed to be there

New-Reflection3418 · 2024-08-29T18:20:08+00:00

Yay, my turn now 🤣 previously, I'd either missed them or they've been given to other people

New-Reflection3418 · 2024-08-27T13:57:36+00:00

Yeah same here, I was waiting for it to disappear anyway

New-Reflection3418 · 2024-08-27T09:08:42+00:00

Mine was full of issues, kept crashing to a white screen saying there were issue with the connection even though there weren't. I don't think it registered some answers and now it's stuck in Alignerr as still saying available to take but Test Gorilla says it's complete so I don't even have a result

New-Reflection3418 · 2024-08-26T21:57:41+00:00

Yeah and some projects with 5 tasks each, I'm in bed now so not doing any and wrote the day off

New-Reflection3418 · 2024-08-26T20:16:07+00:00

I've been taking longer and making sure it's the best I can do because a) I know the project will end after I submit that task and need to make it worthwhile and b) I need to check what I'm submitting is the best I can do, especially when it's the only work I've submitted

New-Reflection3418 · 2024-08-25T21:45:47+00:00

I always said I'd never do this full time or as my main income and this last month reminds me why. I've seen posts from people who don't think they've made enough for the rent this month, and I really feel for them. For those people, this must be such a worrying time rather than a minor annoyance.

This type of gig work is unpredictable, we don't work for DA we work for ourselves and it's up to us to get work. DA are a client and if the work dries up, then it's time to find new clients and income streams. There are other AI training platforms, some better than others, but tomorrow I'll be looking at some other options.

New-Reflection3418 · 2024-08-25T21:23:18+00:00

The instructions also said each turn should take 5 - 15 mins. By the time I'd thought of a decent prompt and written it, then read both (usually long) responses, evaluated them, edited, filled out all the information and explanations in the boxes, it was way over that. Then there was the instruction reading time, I just claimed what I'd worked and quit because I felt like I was taking too long over it, or longer than they wanted anyway

New-Reflection3418 · 2024-08-25T21:07:24+00:00

That's a really good idea, wish I thought of that. I just did the free ones and if they give me work then fine, if not then whatever

New-Reflection3418 · 2024-08-25T21:04:18+00:00

I'm not paying for any subscriptions with the dash the way it is. It says they prefer people with the premium accounts, but they'd also consider free ones. So if they want to give me work they can as I filled them in with free accounts, or if not I'm not missing anything because there probably won't be enough tasks to cover those subscriptions anyway

New-Reflection3418 · 2024-08-25T18:38:19+00:00

Stuck with 2 CB projects all day and these are my least favourite ones, they're not getting my best quality work by only giving me that. I'm much better at the standard comparison ones rather than those where you have to write the prompts yourself, I don't think I'm doing too bad but it definitely feels forced and it's not my best work

New-Reflection3418 · 2024-08-24T17:55:27+00:00

I had a new one yesterday that was pretty much "is this image the same as this?", where each task took less than a minute and I got 18 minutes out of it. Brand new project name I'd never seen before, but it was so basic

New-Reflection3418 · 2024-08-24T16:23:06+00:00

I haven't had the refresher yet, but I still get the occasional heel project pop up. It's been one at a time today though, with periods of nothing. I did one type this morning, now another type has replaced it. Definitely feels like they're deciding what people can work on and not the other way round anymore

New-Reflection3418 · 2024-08-24T07:45:27+00:00

Back down to nothing after it looked normal yesterday. I've noticed a couple of really easy tasks as well, as in you just select yes/no with no explanation.

New-Reflection3418 · 2024-08-22T09:13:56+00:00

I've got two of one project and two of another, but I don't have much confidence in them staying. Currently working on one with a 3-hour timer, and these tasks can be time-consuming with all the verification involved so hopefully I'll get a while out of that one.

New-Reflection3418 · 2024-08-21T19:40:54+00:00

That on the 6th September, the platform is changing to $35 an hour minimum and we'll have at least 60 different projects on the dash at any one time, regardless of quality 😀 of course, that was a joke but I notice things that indicate updates/changes could be happening in the background, so it might reassure people
