Blackjack game with 0.75% player advantage
Quote: RSWait WTF -- what do you mean I lost??? I don't get my fcking bonus $$$?
Lol @ RS
If you withdraw before meeting wagering requirements, you get no bonus. You did meet betting requirements didn't you?
It will be annoying to you and amusing to us... well not maybe amusing... If you report they take the negative winnings from you to balance your account.

It doesn't matter if you met the wagering requirements or not. All their bonuses are "sticky." Which means that on any withdrawal you make after meeting the wagering requirements, they will subtract the amount of the bonus. You have to finish over and above the amount of your deposit + bonus to profit at all.
I just lost the last of my bankroll on blackjack flat betting $20. I'm down $1,400.00 cash. I don't think I will deposit any more. I don't trust this online casino at all. It seems like they were gaffing the double downs especially.

Is there any easy way to tell when you did meet the wagering requirement?

I'm sorry to hear that Teddy. I was doing really badly on the doubles for a while, getting small cards almost every time. However, when I started to track it my results seemed normal. A skeptic could easily argue I had bad luck.
Again, if you can get a log file I'd be happy to look at it. After you gave them $1,400 it would seem the least they could do.
You can go into the promotions tab and click on the active button next to your bonus, and it will tell you how much wagering you have left.Quote: WizardIs there any easy way to tell when you did meet the wagering requirement?
Of course, when I was playing, they couldn't get the bonus to show up on my list so I had no idea how far away I was and had to ask every time. Typical.
It wasn't that I was getting small cards, it was that the dealer was drawing to 20 and 21 more often that I believe is statistically possible.Quote: WizardI'm sorry to hear that Teddy.

I have requested a log file from support. Let's see if they send it.
May I ask if you won? Would you recommend making more deposits, or do you think there is enough evidence to be wary of this casino by now?

I just had another good session so am about even. The problem is there is a lot of circumstantial evidence but I need a smoking gun. I view it like a death penalty case, I need a very high threshold of proof to convict. Personally, I still have a reasonable doubt.

***I'm not sure how this took in to affect my "double up" gambles, etc... Which I had a few for a couple dollars, then started betting $40 per gamble when I was under the false advertising assumption that it paid 2-1, when I then lost 14 "coin flips" in a row!!
From this we can derive the following information:
Session 1: Avg Bet = $16.06, Hands played = 223... EV = (223)(16.06)(.0075) = $26.86... SD = Sqrt(223)(1.1*16.06) = $263.81. My net loss was $1,039.50, which would be 4 Standard Deviations out.
Session 2: Avg Bet = $20, Hands played = 107... EV = (107)(20)(.0075) = $16.05... SD = Sqrt(107)(1.1*20) = $227.57. My net loss was $420, which would be almost 2 Standard Deviations out.
Session 3: Avg Bet = $7.88, Hands played = 118... EV = (118)(7.88)(.0075) = $6.97... SD = Sqrt(118)(1.1*7.88) = $94.16. My net loss was $27.50, which would be within 1 Standard Deviation. Interesting to note like all of their games/wagers, when you bet like $5, it seems to be "normal." It's when you bet $20/hand or more that you seem to just get absolutely obliterated. You can see this 'proof' from Sessions 1 & 2 vs Sessions 3 & 4.
Session 2: Avg Bet = $6.28, Hands played = 657... EV = (657)(6.28)(.0075) = $30.95... SD = Sqrt(657)(1.1*6.28) = $177.07. My net loss was $48, which would be within 1 Standard Deviation.
Again, note how my average bet is less than $10 and I still fall within 1 SD, even though I NEVER HAD A WINNING SESSION of blackjack where the game supposedly had a player advantage.
SUMMARY
Total Hands Played: 1105
Total Amount Wagered: $10,776.50
Overall Average Bet: $9.75
Overall EV = (1105)(9.75)(.0075) = $80.80
Overall SD = Sqrt(1105)(1.1*9.75) = $356.52
ACTUAL Overall Loss = $1,535.00 ... 4.31 Standard Deviations from EV ...and I'd like to point out my last 2 sessions of only betting an average bet UNDER $10 definitely 'smoothed out' my results just a little.

What about the accusation that the certification logo that they show is ripped off and that they don't seem to have said certification?

What made you determine that? I would agree with you. The downswings were just incredible. Dealer seemed to draw to 21 (not even just 20) WAY too many times on double downs. I wish I had kept track. I think I will if I make another deposit. (Not bloody likely at this point).Quote: Romesafter I determined the blackjack was rigged

Review my other posts where I log my sessions/EV's/SD's. Overall I was out OVER 4 standard deviations from my EV, after 1105 hands, with an average bet of like $15, and lost a little over $1,500 (all of my bonus money).
FYI (Wizard), I did request a hand by hand log of my blackjack sessions. So I suppose now it's a waiting game to see if a) they provide them, b) they jumble the numbers when providing them, or c) they actually provide real logs which will ultimately show their game is not fair.
Quote: OnceDearWhat about the accusation that the certification logo that they show is ripped off and that they don't seem to have said certification?
I have written iTechLabs three times asking if Mission2Game was properly using their seal. I have yet to receive a reply. Regarding that quote from Kiren, it could be that M2G forgot to link it to the iTechs site. That could be filed under careless error rather than theft.
I never disputed that :)Quote: IbeatyouracesYou guys are a glutton for punishment.
Quote: OnceDearWhat about the accusation that the certification logo that they show is ripped off and that they don't seem to have said certification?
To add to this, iTechLabs keeps a list of clients on their web site. One of them is "Soft Magic." M2G uses Soft Magic Dice as their software provider.
I think I'll hold off on that.
Quote: teddysI just got an e-mail from M2G. They have a new bonus available for 225% match up to $1350 in bonus.

enough said
looks to me no one in this thread knows the max bet to make per round with a bankroll of say $1500 and an edge of 0.71%
I bet $9 (i round up)
the Wizard knows the answer (or knew the answer at one time)
and >=$20 is way too high and just increases the RoR but some will be luckier than others.

Maybe they never had to bother designing a cash out process.
Quote: CrystalMathI just read the cashout terms and conditions, and the only cashout method available in the US is wire transfer with a $200 minimum and a $45 fee. I'm not sure if that means I can cashout $200 and receive $155 or if I must cashout $245 to receive $200. Also, if I deposit more money in order to reach the minimum, I must wager that money at least 1x to avoid extra fees.

Nothing sounds good about this casino.
But it has a great affiliate scheme, so just about every mention of it online is a sign up affiliate link. Buries the quite frequent criticisms.
And spam????
Who's signed up and not had his inbox filled with bonus offers? Who's detected that the unsub link in said spam will not work?
He says he flat bet $50, except for when he was near zero he bet less to have double/split money. Here is a summary of his play:
Number of bets: 222
Average bet $48.62
Expected win: 1.33 units
Actual win: -61.19 units
Loss due to "bad luck": 62.52 units
One standard deviation: 16.39 units
Number standard deviations down: 3.81
Probability of luck this bad or worse = 1 in 14,658 (assuming flat betting, which was nearly the case)
There is a lot of circumstantial evidence that something fishy is going on. Still, I wish I could get my hands on a bloody glove.

That's the 5th person or so to be more than 3 SD's out... of the like 6 that said they deposited. I should think there's a LOT of blood to DNA test =P.

I'm not doubting anybody experience but I'm still hoping to get something more black and white. It probably cost at least a million dollars to launch this casino so I want to be very slow about making any formal accusations.
so standard deviation for this game = 1.1Quote: WizardOne standard deviation: 16.39 units
i would have thought it to be much higher at least 1.16 or maybe even 1.2
that by itself increases a session RoR as you know
time for a cvdata run
Quote: beachbumbabsBankroll was determined by depositing $200.00, matched by a 777% deposit, for a starting total of 1754.00.
All sessions were 100 hands.
All sessions were flat bet for 1 unit.
All decisions were determined using the strategy chart on page 1 of this thread.
500 hands were played on day 1. 1100 hands were played on day 2.
Some other games were tried on day 1 after the end of the BJ session, which is why the total changes from row 5 to row 6.

I have this data also by unit & $$ won/loss every 10 hands, and the cards initially dealt, decisions made, and result for each hand individually.
There was 1 inadvertent strategy error, when "hit" was clicked instead of "stand", resulting in a loss/player bust. However, assuming the card taken inadvertently was the card the dealer would have received, the hand would still have been a loss. Also assuming that the cards are shuffled each deal (as I understood from an earlier post), this error should not change the win/loss record accuracy. If that is not correct, then there was 1 strategy error.
I would like to know if this data is now in a useful format, and if not, please advise what is lacking and/or can be provided from my records.
EDIT: Updated the table above using Rome's formulae earlier in this thread. Am looking at overall results: Specifically, SD sqrt(1600)*(1.1*22.1875) = $976.25, showing -1.44 SD's total with a loss of -1405.00. Would appreciate knowing I calculated these correctly, if anyone has the time. Thanks!
Was thinking I could simply divide my total loss by average SD of 244.06, which gave me a much larger SD of -5.756722, which is what it FELT like, but I think that's an incorrect calculation. Not sure.
Whatever the correct math is, dumping 500 hands straight (after the game dropped out and refreshed, and I had to sign back in and reload the game) felt like a deliberate re-set into a different probability matrix. The turnaround was overwhelming.
Jesus Christ, he went down $3,000.00 in 222 $50 bets? That's like a half an hour of betting. I have NEVER seen a result that bad, live or electronic. That's not even within the bell curve! Considering my results were anectdotally just as bad, and considering Romes and BBB's results, I am 70% sure this blackjack game is gaffed. I am not willing to be as equivocal as Mike.Quote: WizardA friend of mine who is not a forum member has Emailed me dozens of times insisting he got cheated by M2G. Here is his play summary.

Babs, I believe you did it correctly. Your "One Hand Standard Deviation" on any 1 hand is 1.1*AvgBet. Then, to find your SD for any number of hands (such as your total number of hands) it is SD = Sqrt(NumHands)*OneHandSD which yes is the same as SD = Sqrt(NumHands)(1.1*AvgBet).
I don't see anywhere on your char what your number of hands was, but I think you stated your average bet was 22.1875, correct? You can also get your average bet from your total action divided by the number of events. I.e. $10,000 worth of action over 100 hands, your average bet = 10,000/100 = $100.

Yeah, if you isolate out my last 500 hands (a not insignificant sample size), I lost $3.117.50 on an average bet of $19, for an SD of 467.338207, and that's -6.67076 SD's.

This will contain all of the information necessary to analyze the fairness of the game.
The Wizard has met an opponent worthy of his steel!
Meaning:
There is a great challenge astore for the Wizard to prove this outfit is indeed manipulating. Can it be done or shall WoV have just provided a bunch of scalps for the site's wall ... not to be avenged!!!!!!!!!
Quote: mustangsallyyou mean honest in the games it offers as the games to me do not look fair (by gaming definition that IS).
you play games all the time that are not fair but are honest, you hope.
so are the Wizards
you mean are not honest
ok
enough said
looks to me no one in this thread knows the max bet to make per round with a bankroll of say $1500 and an edge of 0.71%
I bet $9 (i round up)
the Wizard knows the answer (or knew the answer at one time)
and >=$20 is way too high and just increases the RoR but some will be luckier than others.
"say it is not so Sally!"
"the casino cheats!"
a voice crying in the wilderness...
"ask to see the code that is behind the casino games in question."
"NO WAY"
"do not look behind that curtain!"
over bet your bankroll and cry cheating (not all cheat all the time maybe, imo)
an open option to use
an event of 1 in 100,000 never happens (probability = 0)
an event of 1 in 100 million never happens either, not every week around the world
OK
time for tea and "Meet the Wife"
Go Freddiefound this 2
calculate the unit bankroll required when having the edge
looks to be used all over the internet and is messy as always in me Excel
You know what I meant to say. I was asking if you think the software is cheating/gaffed or however you want to phrase it.
Yes, so are everyone's math/statistics/ simulations online, but not everyone wants people to lose money like you do.
Its not crying wolf when the wolf was just in the next town, and now you keep seeing dead half eaten pigs in the woods. Its obvious to me your trying to use math/simulations/statistics to encourage and assure the kids its ok to play in the woods.
I needed 1 visit and $200 to this casino to know I shouldn't return. Not because I ran bad, I have ran bad many times in my life on much bigger edges. Its because every time i independently suspected an online casino was cheating, it turns out it was. Thats what originally made me find wizzard of odds.
I know, you know, you even say it in your post. I just was hoping others will see it and realize it as well.Quote: CrystalMathI agree, Axel. I was just sharing a method to track the data.

That's most of what she does.
BTW, those of you who lost -- were you betting the 50/50 red black or whatever stuff? Or was it 100% CLASSIC blackjack?
Quote: RSThat's most of what she does.

I am personally terrible at 50/50 rebets, so I only played BJ. Also didn't want those results "tainting" my report.
Surrender/Classic blackjack exclusively, never for less than $20. When I bet above $20 I played ROYAL blackjack.Quote: RSThat's most of what she does.

$20-$30 flat bets, or even more, is well within my comfort zone. But this was a massacre.
yepQuote: teddysJesus Christ, he went down $3,000.00 in 222 $50 bets?
That's like a half an hour of betting.
60 freekin betting units
sure it is!Quote: teddysI have NEVER seen a result that bad, live or electronic.
That's not even within the bell curve!
using Don Schlesinger's trip RoR formula that is available to the public
i show with an edge of .71%
SD = 1.1
222 rounds played
RoR = 1 in 5,680
when the
SD = 1.15
RoR = 1 in 2,997
so
SD matters
the Wizard can calculate this 4u too
(i think he would rather do something else)
who knows Kelly betting?
not Kellie betting
imo, the Wizard should now buy-in for a cool $10,000 and make $50 flat bets for 222 rounds
the chance to bust that is abouts 1 in 1.08211E+34
no way, he would Kelly bet for sure
Oh o o
are you the one, one, i thinks so,
that kept over-betting your small buy-ins at the craps table and likes bears and
Ah, maybe that was another teddy
this is so entertaining
what really matters is the color of your nailsQuote: beachbumbabsI am personally terrible at 50/50 rebets, so I only played BJ.

while all this was going on
you... yellow neon
no lucks neededs
i say ALL online software cheats, but not all the timeQuote: AxelWolfYou know what I meant to say. I was asking if you think the software is cheating/gaffed or however you want to phrase it.
just my opinion
it is really how good the programmer is
i am not the only oneQuote: AxelWolfYes, so are everyone's math/statistics/ simulations online, but not everyone wants people to lose money like you do.
and for me it makes life so simple
i did not think i used a simulation as the math is very easy to doQuote: AxelWolfIts not crying wolf when the wolf was just in the next town, and now you keep seeing dead half eaten pigs in the woods. Its obvious to me your trying to use math/simulations/statistics to encourage and assure the kids its ok to play in the woods.
maybe i added one sim for color
I say not one person should play online any where
until the US get their act together and that should make the playing field fair.
i know you are specialQuote: AxelWolfI needed 1 visit and $200 to this casino to know I shouldn't return.
maybe i do not tell you that often enough
and now he wants you to play onlineQuote: AxelWolfNot because I ran bad, I have ran bad many times in my life on much bigger edges. Its because every time i independently suspected an online casino was cheating, it turns out it was. Thats what originally made me find wizzard of odds.
more often and that is ok for him to ask and suggest too
you know
Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys used to write songs in a sand box in his living room, so the story goes
I love his 2 daughters from his first wife, I love her too
she is so cute!
even today
Quote: mustangsallyso standard deviation for this game = 1.1
i would have thought it to be much higher at least 1.16 or maybe even 1.2
I estimated it lower because of the no re-splitting rule and lots of surrenders. I'm all ears as to a more precise value.
Im glad we are on the same page, with one exception... I don't want evryone to lose. The only people I want to lose are people I dislike and that's not many people TBH In the RW I'd rather not think about people I dislike and concentrate on people I do like.Quote: mustangsallyi say ALL online software cheats, but not all the time
