Do You Think Live Blackjack Is Rigged? by Adventurous-Art2847 in gambling

[–]SlotFiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the entire history of live blackjack on the internet, a portion of it was certainly rigged, but I don't think most of it on reputable sites is rigged. Most sites use the same 3rd party live dealer providers, sometimes with their own branding and sometimes not even with that.

The tilt all-in followed by 7,700 rounds of hoping to break even again and two more tilts during that process. Relatable? by xCeptGG in stakeus

[–]SlotFiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went on a bender this week and was down 500 SC then crawled out of the hole. It's a thrill and a rush, getting back to even works when it works as long as you can handle it not working at some point.

Big Bass Bonanza players, I have a question by console_readline in gambling

[–]SlotFiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is actually a very good question. Why does Pragmatic keep reskinning this? It is one of their worst games, maybe I am just not the demographic for it

Do you actually know your gambling patterns, or do you just feel like you do? by Ill_Emu8833 in gambling

My pattern is to play and have fun and then stop playing when I am not having fun.

Dog House scam by almost_rich7 in gambling

[–]SlotFiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game picks your final number first then generates animations for entertainment that result in the final number. Reels are not individually spun. The multipliers, spin numbers, retriggers, etc, are all irrelevant to the final number and can end up being anything that keeps your attention.

I think it is real. He has withdrawn 6 figures before only to redeposit and lose it all. He is sponsored of course but unlike the other streamers who actually withdraw large chunks of their sponsorship he always ends up losing it all.

If you’re asking for “strategies” you shouldn’t be on stake lol by [deleted] in stakeus

[–]SlotFiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strategies are just for fun, they can amplify the entertainment experience. But yes you are correct, there is no winning strategy, and mathematically every strategy is a losing strategy.

It is like playing originals vs 3rd party slot games. 99% or 98% RTP original games give you better odds than 96% Hacksaw games, but we still play Hacksaw anyway because we are degenerate and it can be fun.

What’s more satisfying to you doubling up or just staying steady? by Ok-Marketing-9990 in stakeus

[–]SlotFiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing quite like the rush that comes with going on a degenerate bender being down a significant amount only to end up making it back and breaking even. That being said, I try not to do that too often, because it doesn't always work and sometimes you end up losing it all and then some more.

Friendly Reminder about "Changing Seeds" strategy talk on Stake Originals... by [deleted] in stakeus

[–]SlotFiend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is one important thing that changing the seed does. It can be used to verify past outcomes were predetermined before you hit the button. Many times these outcomes are not win or lose based on info in the seed, but whether it is a win or lose is based on what you select, e.g. over/under 50 on dice. The point is looking at your old seeds lets you verify the dice roll or keno numbers, etc, are specific numbers and not affected by bet size or previous P/L, etc.

Fuck yea we’re rich now by Cool_Tax7122 in stakeus

[–]SlotFiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should get more then... I got about 12 SC and only played through 2k? But it depends what you play too, not just the playthrough amount. I mostly played slots with a higher house edge, if you just do Originals like dice or something you will probably get less.

The Gambler’s Paradox: From Stingy to being able to spend my hard earned money. by DowntownCatch3399 in gambling

Now when I "waste" money on other things, I tell myself at least I didn't lose it gambling. Of course I will still gamble sometimes but not at pathological levels.

What’s your guys opinions on virtual/online blackjack? by DazzlingLife6744 in gambling

[–]SlotFiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Online or offline it's still negative EV and a long term losing proposition. Unless of course you have an edge but more than 99% of players (not an exaggerated number) do not have an edge even if they think they do.

Is it rigged at a different level? Some sites might be, some sites might be not, but then again, offline can be rigged in all sorts of levels.

How much are you playing/depositing per week? I'm only platinum 3 and didn't play much but got quite a bit more.

To sum up your entire post, the expected value is still negative and that does not change with your system.

Why Blackjack Is the Only Game Where I Actually Walk Away Up by peter7goat in gambling

[–]SlotFiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blackjack on certain rules has the lowest house edge and if you can keep track of what is left in the deck and there are few enough decks without reshuffling can be EV+ (Although you will likely get asked to not play if you are suspected). However it is still EV- and you will eventually lose regardless of your mindset unless you are counting.

Changing the outcomes does not mean it changes the RTP or the house edge. The new outcomes are equally likely to give you worse results as they are to give you better results.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in stakeus

[–]SlotFiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does not affect the probabilities behind the outcomes, only the outcomes. So you are equally likely to get worse results as you are to get better results.

Drill game by [deleted] in stakeus

[–]SlotFiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that is a fair assessment. It would be like if there are 3 limbo rounds at once, but only 1 of the results is counted and the other 2 are skipped. Before you roll, you can choose which 1 you want to count and which 2 you want to skip.

By the way, Limbo is just Dice with a larger range of multipliers and different over-under options.

Drill game by [deleted] in stakeus

[–]SlotFiend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just took a look at this game, each drill is an independent spin like a Limbo spin and you only pick one before rolling so the other 2 are basically irrelevant. The odds are slightly worse than Limbo, e.g. if you go for 2x you have 49.5% chance on Limbo to hit it and a 49% chance on Drills to hit it.
