Does anybody else on here have any experience with online casino's. I have only ever used reputable one's like Ladbrokes but a pattern seems to be emerging about how 'random' their systems seem to be. I play blackjack at Ladbrokes every so often for something to do but I'm now having serious thoughts about giving it up.

I have found since playing the game that there is a definiate 'non-random' element about how the cards are drawn, especially in favour of the dealer. Now I am not a bad loser because the amount I am spending is minimal and I only bet what I can afford to lose. I am just trying to find out the general concensus about anybody else that might have dabbled with them?

- Dealer getting blackjack about 1/15 hands.

- Me getting dealt a picture card when I'm on a hand of 12 or more virtually every time (therefore busting) (where as statiscally I should have a more chance of getting a non picture card than a picture card).

- Dealer only ever seems to bust rarely.

I might just be being paranoid!?!



I have confronted Ladbrokes about this but of course they just say that they are audited every week to ensure that they are fair and all above board. But the software that runs their casino is from a third party and so is not controlled by Ladbrokes anyway?

As most of us know ALL fruit machines are designed to only pay out when a set % of the total money in the machine reaches a certain level (hence that is why you'll NEVER win if you play on a machine that has recently been emptied overnight). So why couldn't the casino's be set to cover their own backs - ensuring that they never pay out more than they take??

Any comments?

I would always be sceptical, I like a punt but do avoid these types of site as it seems very risky.

Wait until I get home tonight, I have a site in my favs at home that you will find very useful. If I forget mail me.

Unrelated, but thanks for reminding me about Ladbrokes, I won £40 on the Xmas number one and hadn't collected it
