I can understand your frustration and anger OP, but using the N word is going way too far.
I dunno man I hate complainers
Is Bovada Casino rigged? The short answer is yes. It is all set up to take your money if you are not a skilled player. They have live dealers with live results played against many many players all at the same time. You can’t rig that. Randomness a.
- Bovada BlackJack Is Rigged. You can walk away a winner if you play a short enough sesh and have any kind of chance to win a hand/event. But that doesn't make a game 'beatable' as the math is still quite against you. Making a game 'beatable' implies (at least to me) that you have the advantage and/or a positive expectation in value from the game.
- Bovada Casino is owned and operated by the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group. The site is powered by Betsoft and Realtime Gaming software, but they also offer proprietary games through their in-house software. Bovada markets itself to real money players in the United States.
I am only going to make 2 points here then I'm done. First about the N word, since I'm half black I don't see what is so wrong with using a name that whitey affectionately gave to blacks to begin with. Second, if Bovada is so honest why do they NEVER have an outside agency come in and inspect their programs to make sure no monkey business is going on (no pun intended).
Michael,
Many of us, including this 62 year old white guy, fought for civil rights in the sixties and seventies. I hate it when blacks use the N-word 'affectionately'!! We fought too hard for ANYONE to use it!! Besides, this generation of whites didn't give you that name!
Also, I would have mentioned that you are half-black when using that word. I almost put you on ignore.

It doesn't mean you have to agree with it, but fighting for civil liberties also means fighting for anyone to be able to use that word, or any other word.
It's all about context. I'd argue that using the word affectionately takes some power out of some of it's ill-willed meaning.
This forum also baffles me in that bad language is prohibited, but prostitute talk is no biggie. Strange.

I still don't like language that degrades such as the n-word. Believe me, I understand the context. I don't think it takes the power out of it. BTW, I lived in Berkeley for 20 years and even there many blacks hated it when another black would use it.
Anyways, we are going to have to agree that we disagree. ;) And, of course, good variance to you.

No one said there was anything 'so wrong' with profanity. It just happens to be against the rules of Disney movies and other settings. Such as here.

Not many are willing to blindly accept that online card games are 'so honest.' It's only that they didn't fail your inspection.

I don't have the latest info on this, but last I heard Bova da had their software certified random by a company called itech. Their logo is on the bottom of bovafa home page. Clicking it brings up a PDF of the cerification. All FWIW.
Is Bovada Poker Site Rigged
Blackjack Bovada Rigged
I consider myself a pretty decent black jack player, but when you are betting only $10 a hand and find yourself $600 down in an hour something is wrong. Like the dealer getting 10 blackjacks and they finally throw you one. Everytime you get a 20 the bastard gets a 21. Doubling down on 10 or 11 only gets you 12-15. If you have a hard 13-16 and the dealer has a small card showing and you stand, you lose and if you hit you still lose. All this happened at the double deck table where the dealer stands on a soft 17. These n***ers are nothing but rip-off artists and I'm going to prove it.
(I edited the response to censor)Hi michael,
I realize you're quite frustrated (rightfully so) and think that bovada blackjack is cheating (quite possible)... but in order to make that kind of claim you need a little something called PROOF. You'd need to record your hands, preferably on video, and you'd need to play thousands of hands so that we could do the math on the Wins/Losses/Pushes and check your EV +/- SD's. At that point we could conclude with evidence that you're ether the victim of a short term bad run blowing off some steam, or if you have actually in fact been cheated. I personally have lost for months, with a teammate as well, to a non stop flow of dealer 21's when we have 20, etc, etc, etc. Not to mention we played thousands of hands over months where as you played maybe 500-600 hands over a course of hours... very short term and non conclusive. It DOES happen in real blackjack and COULD happen online. Thus, you must have some kind of PROOF to make these claims.
Either way the derogatory comments you used are inappropriate and will result in a little vacation from the forums for you... So hopefully you use that time to cool off and think about a better way going about discussing it, or proving it.

Second, in an hour if you played fast you could bet 600 hands. That would have a standard deviation of 28.17 units.
Let's assume you can expect to lose 3 from the house edge. The probability of losing another 57 due to bad luck is 2.02 standard deviations. The probability of luck that bad or worse is 2.15%. So it could easily be bad luck and that is what I believe.
If you have other evidence, let's see it. I prefer to see exact numbers. If you claim something happens 'every time,' then please state the sample size.

I can live with 'bastard' but am masking the n word.

Here is some advice... Don't EVER play digital table games online and expect to win. You should know better. Just bet sports where the outcomes are real life or go to a local casino for live games. There are also some sites that have live black jack. Perhaps they are legitimate, but I would have my suspicions there as well.

Any game is beatable if you play a short enuff sesh.

You should redefine that... You can walk away a winner if you play a short enough sesh and have any kind of chance to win a hand/event... but that doesn't make a game 'beatable' as the math is still quite against you. Making a game 'beatable' implies (at least to me) that you have the advantage and/or a positive expectation in value from the game.You should redefine that...
