Is this online site Cheating?

I play on-line black jack at web site called "BetKill.net". For a long time I've believed that the games were fixed. It seems that the odds go extreemly in the favour of the house as you place larger bets. If you play 1 to 3 dollars a hand - the game stays about like a standard game of black jack. If you double down it can become crazy how much the odds change in favour of the dealer.

This morning I was playing Double Exposure Black Jack. Dealer must stand on hard 17 but draw on soft 17. Dealer wins ties. 50.00 is the limit on a single bet.

The dealer won two, - one dollar hands in a row, on the third hand I raised my bet to 5 - dealer won 4th hand, I doubled to 10.00 - dealer won - then I doubled to 20, dealer won, (dealer has now won 5 hands in a row. Please remember this is double exploser. I see both of the dealers cards.

On the sixth hand I doubled to 40.00 - dealer won hand 6. Because of limits on the size of the bet, I staid at $40.00 for my bet on the nxt 4 four hands. - Dealer won those four hands as well. Dealer has now won 10 hands in row...

Now my wallet is down to 8.00. I bet 5.00 dealer win hands 11, Now I have 3.00 left, dealer wins hand 12...

Below is the log of the hands..

I feel that this is just not possible.

What were the odds?

What can you do?

I've lost 6 or 7 hands in in a row on this site, but 12 is the record.

on line site = cheating. That is the correct answer.

It is hard to make a case for cheating with 12 hands only.

Wizard,

Do you read that log? What are the odds of that happening?

Streaks are common in BJ. Many years ago I made the mistake of going to AC on a Sunday afternoon with my pregnant wife.
New york had some sort of Monday Holiday and the casinos were jammed. BJ was $10 minimum. Wife was tired and at 1 am sat down next to me at BJ table. gave her a hundred to play with. She knew very little and on any close decision I would tell her what to do.

Long story short, at 6 am I was down $720, she was up $840. Sitting next to each other, I could not win, she could not lose !

I myself once lost more than 20 hands in a row in a real casino.
But I didn't believe I was cheated because many other players on the same table
had normal wins and losses, I was just in sheer bad luck.

If I was in a casino or playing regular black jack, I think I'd be a little different. In this game I was looking at both dealer cards.. and there wasn't a single push loss.

What are the odds of the dealer out drawing me 12 hands in row?

The probability of a net loss on one hand of regular BJ is around 49%. I know in dbl exposure you lose ties, but as BJs only pay 1-1 and you have more knowledge when doubling, I think it's safe to assume the 49% loss % is about the same in dbl exposure.

The probability of losing 12 in a row starting with your next hand is ~.49^12 = 0.000192, which is 1 in 5220.

BUT, the probability of seeing a losing streak of 12 goes up the more and more you play. You said you've played a lot on this site. Let's say you play 1 hour a day for a month. You played 10 hands in less than 2 minutes according to that log, which is 300 hands an hour. That's 9000 hands in 1 month.

The probability of NOT seeing a 12-loss streak in 9000 hands is about 0.178

That is, you have an 82%+ chance of seeing that type of loss once a month.

This forum has successfully helped people identify sites that were cheating, but this is not enough evidence.

We need an 11th Commandment from the Wizard: If you think an online casino is cheating, STOP PLAYING THERE!
