Question to the Wizard

My question is: I have read some of your answers to posts concerning the possible unfairness of internet blackjack sites and your attitude appears to be that you are not convinced that they are unfair. Well I played 4048 games (not counting pushes) in 107 sessions on 4 free sites and got the following results:
Win 1917 Lose 2131 loss margin 11.1% There were only two convincing winning streaks in the 107 sessions.
And yes, I was using correct strategy.

Do you still think they are fair?

Expected number of wins = 1876.65

Sounds like you hit a bit of a lucky streak there!

How many pushes?
May the cards fall in your favor.

1917/(1917+2131) = 47.36% win... I'd say FAIR.
Some people need to reimagine their thinking.

How did you get that figure? I thought the loss margin should be less than 1%

On average, you win more on the hands that you win than you lose on the hands that you lose.

You get paid 3:2 on blackjack. You are a favorite on all your doubles and most of your splits. If you also won almost half the hands you would have a massive edge.
