double up bell curve

When playing the double up in video poker it seemed to me a lot had changed at my local casino since the new machines came in even on the old igt machines. I started counting the winning vs losing possibilities on the machine given to me only in the double up and after the machine was at +100 I decided to quit down $160 playing 5 quarters...when I say +100 I mean there were 100 more losing possibilities then winning possibilities over couple hundred double up chances taken. this seems like a huge deviation from normal distribution of winners and losers on the random draw 50/50 double up game.... and I was going crazy watching the machine get all my money. Thoughts?

When you mean +100, do you mean the over the 4 cards you are allowed to choose from? It's not that unreasonable if you got a bad run of starter cards (2, 3, 4, etc.).

I mean to say out of the four cards available to choose from in the double up(dealer flipping the left card of the five)I counted the cards that beat the dealers card and I counted the cards that lost to the dealers card. When the cards had gotten to a +100 count(100 more losers then winners, ties ignored) I gave up as it seemed the dealer was just constantly getting the best of it and it seemed skewed in the house's favor.
