Topic: Risks of Playing Live online Blackjack (Read 110 times)

After this recent video coming out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1EiWvN11nU#t=02m

Where the dealer pulls out the second card instead of the first one while dealing, I also came across other ways, Blackjack dealers can be cheating you. I would highly advice not to risk your money on live blackjack dealers for that reason.


Here is another possibility that Blackjack dealers/operators could cheat you. Basically, when you sit on a table, most of the times you are sitting somewhere in the middle and are likely going to be betting every other hand. Now since it is very possible and obvious based on the video, that the cards likely have a chip inside them and can allow the dealers or the operator room to know what cards are coming up next, they can plant fake users before or after you, so on the next hand you get dealt a poor hand or such that the dealer ends up winning.


Say for example they realize the next series of cards in a new game are: A , 10 , Jack ,7 , and let us suppose you are the only player on the table.

so typically: you would be dealt, an Ace, and the jack if he deals to you first and then to the dealer. But what the operator can do is have a dummy account seated right before or after you so as to change the flow of cards. There can easily be algorithms calculating what would be a more suitable introduction of dummy players to make the dealer win more. Do note that you get 30 seconds to make a bet, and if you were to bet 1000$ in the first 10 seconds, then it is in the casinos best interest to make you lose. So they can easily run the algorithm to calculate the best placement or introduction sequence of new users in that 20 seconds to make you lose.

Now obviously this won't happen everytime and is likely only going to happen such that the biggest player in the room is tricked. I am also not sure about the kind of agreement or subscription model these rooms have with the online sites.
