How is your old school black jack works?

I mean, i play like 200 hands. I get 20 like ten times and 21 zero times.  Grin

Not that i complain, i love stake and always use it. i almost only play sportsbetting. but that BJ game seems a bit..... strange.
It never never ever get 20 and for sure never 21.

all other sides i play on, 20 came quite often and 21 sometimes to. but here... never.


Anyway. thanks for a great platform and good support  Smiley
200 blackjack hands are a sample that is too small to make any kind of conjecture about whether or not the results are fair, we must remember that when it comes to gambling the more we do it the more we will witness weird things happening, besides we tend to have a very selective memory, so even if we got a lot of favorable events on the past if we notice that this is not the case anymore instead of simply accepting it as this just being part of the game some gamblers get suspicious about it, even if everything is fine.

If you get 21 zero times of 200 hands, something is wrong Smiley

Well, you just had Lady Luck turned away while playiing : while on the one hand is that an online blackjack game with infinite decks, like the original BJ run by Stake, the odds of being dealt a blackjack are approximately 4.75% ( so you should have theoretically been dealt 21 nine times) on the other hand Stake game are provably fair so there cannot be something wrong.

"They cannot be something wrong" You dont actually beleive that yourself? We are just slaves.

It looks like the "Weekly" & "Monthly" bonus has been nerfed once again.... According to Eddie, the base win were reduced, if you are not gambling at Stake. So those people who have thought that they can just rise in VIP Rankings and then just claim the base amount without gambling, will be disappointed.  Roll Eyes

Also, some game providers like Elk Studios have been removed from the available slots, presumably because players were using exploits in those games. (Feel free to add the other ones, if you noticed it)

Some players have also found a way to win the "Live Slot Hunts" every 24 hours... so that is not an option anymore. (I think they are using Alt accounts to win more within the same 24 hour period, but I have no way to prove that)  Angry


If this is confirmed information then must be bad news for regular gamblers. They first moved Vip host to plat 4 then changed minimum base amount and it keeps getting worse every year. Maybe in a year only certain wager requirements will be applied to get weekly or monthly bonus, otherwise, it doesn't make sense to keep wagering for extra VIP bonuses such as weekly, monthly or top monthly. The main issue is that you can't get same base amount depending on the Vip rank if Eddie has confirmed this information regarding why we users get low base amount constantly in last weeks.

So, I'm not gonna to have 15$ base bet Sad

Kinda sad ~LOL, cause sometimes with 15$ can manage this one to 200-300$ with doing all-in betting. It's fun since is free balance, but if the base bet down to 5$-10$ are gonna to be hard for me.

I hope next month are gonna to increase.

Because basically expecting about RTP is also not entirely a victory in the end.
This is what really needs to be realized even though in this case there will definitely also be people who always look at RTP first, especially by looking at the big win ratio.
I personally still agree with you and @Betwrong here because the initial goal is also to have fun and in this case I am not too obsessed with a large RTP winrate if it is not to my liking.
Yes, don't look for a slot with the highest RTP, rather, look for the most entertaining one(For you, and at this moment, because different people are entertained by different things, and even one person can be entertained by different types of slots in different periods of time).  There are times when I want nothing more than Stake Originals. And in other times I want to play other slots. Basically, if you play a slot you like it's win-win for you: you either win money, or you get the fun you want.
This is such an important piece of advice in all kinds of gambling that everyone should hear about. This should be emphasized a million times and people are forgetting about it all the time. Remember this, we are talking about a "fun" thing here, it should be a fun thing, the whole purpose of gambling is entertainment and if you are having fun and not losing your house over it, then you are doing the right thing.

I put a limit on my deposits per month and I can lose them all, I don't care if I never win, if I am having some fun with it then that's all that matters, of course winning makes it more fun, but losing doesn't make me go crazy and that's what matters to me the most.

I agree with this, even though we really don't get profit in the form of money later, of course there are other things, namely pleasure that is sought because this is also one of the goals in gambling, considering that in terms of gambling, even though it cannot be denied that we always want to get profit, but On the other hand, we also have to be aware of other things, especially the initial goal is to have fun by relaxing ourselves from existing fatigue, so it's not bad to do whatever we want by gambling anywhere and having fun at it.

For those gamblers who have a lot of money, they definitely won't mind this even though they have to lose more money.
Gambling is a place for those who want to take and accept all the risks that could happen.
If gamblers have large amounts of money and want bigger profits then using martingale is not a threat for them because they are ready to lose some money with the aim of getting it back with a bigger amount.
The important aspect of gambling is actually easy, namely being confident in every decision and ability so that in this way gamblers can bet calmly and not easily lose control in playing.
Martingale is not as easy as you think, even though you say that gamblers are people who have a lot of money, have you forgotten that rich people bet far above the minimum bet.
Let's say a rich gambler has 1 million dollars surely he will bet between $10 to $100 or even $500.
Just imagine what if the martingale strategy was applied to that person's bet? How much in total should he spend to catch martingale?
Confidence in gambling is legal to me but have you forgotten something about gambling there can be bad days even in a row.
So being confident in every bet will not guarantee victory.

Are you sure that ELK have been removed? I can still see it there although I cant play it because ELK is not available for my country and even there are still at least 3 challenges that using ELK games. Did eddie announce the removal of ELK during his stream last weekend so you can say ELK have been removed?

Some players have also found a way to win the "Live Slot Hunts" every 24 hours... so that is not an option anymore. (I think they are using Alt accounts to win more within the same 24 hour period, but I have no way to prove that)

I'm curious, what kind of way they use to win the Live Slot Hunts. Even if they do it with Alt accounts, does it worth for them to do it while there is a minimum bet $0.1 and the reward is only $40 and this challenge is like fastest contest to hit or more than the specified multiplier. It is pure luck contest and I dont think people will use alt accounts just for $40 (double for level 2 verified account)

We have expected that they will do it, in the end they will realize things that are detrimental the benchmark is that VIP users will continue to come every day, which means the bonus budget will increase therefore they will update the rules, honestly I am not surprised and this kind of thing will continue in the future. Regarding ELK Studios I am not a fan of this provider so that doesn't mean anything to me and maybe some other users, unless they remove Pragmatic provider I will also delete my account but obviously this is impossible because Pragmatic is the most popular provider in the slot gam  Cheesy Btw thank you for this important information.

“We did some changes to the weekly bonus now. You have to wager a little bit more in order to get the base amount.”

That’s what Eddie just said on stream, these exact words.

So they basically cut the rewards again, god knows how many times now in the last 12 months.
I wonder how long until they lose customers because of this, weekly/monthly rewards is the only attractive thing about stake.

The greed it real.

EDIT: In stake forum people report wagering like 2k and losing some only got 0.1$ weekly.  Grin

Thats what I wrote on Saturday already mate Smiley .

By the way, there was never such a thing as "base amounts" in the last at least 1 year.
My girlfriends platinum account that has been pretty much abandoned has 0.08$ weekly claims for months now.

The bas amount is just a myth, just like the promised rewards that were supposed to be forveer once you reached them.

I have a friend who played pragmatic game and won $5000 three times in a row in one week, thats a total of $15,000 earned in just one week, he probably allowed the winning get into his head, the next week, he felt the winning would continue, he continued on the same game but this time, he wagered a higher amount on each round, before one could say jack, he already lost almost every penny of the money he won the last week.
So this is just how gambling is, everyone have their lucky time and how we use it determines our success in gambling.

I've been through this phase and I even won 3x maxwin in a day in different games of course I got on stake.com it's amazing
I believe in lucky day and bad day it's just that I never imagined bad luck coming at 3000 spins because as far as I know there is no game designed that badly but based on the experience above, now I know. usually I will blacklist games that give bad experiences.

Martingale is the death of every serious gambler as it only work if you have unlimited money. Sooner or later you will los it all.

The math of course says it improbable that a 50/50 bet will land on the same side like 15-20 times but experience says otherwise.

Only starting with 0.01$ and lose lets say 15 times on a row you would already be down 328$. But who starts with 1 cent? If you start with 1$ and "only lose 10x in a row you are down 1k already.

The most important aspect is that you always just win you base amount. All the stress and finally win on the 11th try and get your money back, plus 1$ . Totally not worth it.
For those gamblers who have a lot of money, they definitely won't mind this even though they have to lose more money.

Is that true, even I highly doubt it. if you assume that using more money, the martinggale strategy will be effective, then that's wrong. Did you know that in every game there is a maximum limit. if each multiple has reached its limit, it means you cannot double the bet for a higher one. So, basically this technique has not been adopted by gamblers for a long time. Except, you can use this technique only occasionally.

To be honest, I'm not too sure there are effective techniques or strategies for us to use in gambling. in particular, casino games which are almost purely luck-based. the martingale technique can be very effective, but with one condition, luck is on your side. IMO, the only thing that is most effective in gambling is, luck. so, play wisely there and make gambling just part of the fun, nothing more.
Yes, I understand and know very well that in every game there is a maximum limit for betting, but have you forgotten that each game has a large enough limit so that it is not easy for gamblers to really bet until they reach the betting limit in each game.
Maybe what you said is true, but games that have quite low maximum limits are those in casinos that are still small and not really big. On the other hand, the martingale strategy can only be carried out by gamblers who have more money and of course gamblers who have more money will use it. Big and trusted casinos are not small casinos, so you don't need to think about the maximum bet amount for the games at stake.
No strategy or technique is really effective, that's true, but using a strategy can at least make gamblers have a greater chance of winning compared to just playing carelessly and waiting for luck to come.

Martingale strategy can be used when we play with small bet amounts. If not, we should have the number of rolls, beyond that we should not roll whether it is a win/loss. Every gambler could've atleast once lost big out of Martingale strategy. Higher the bank balance higher the risk, same is with the chance of recovering what we've lost in the previous rolls. I personally experienced 12 continued losing streak while trying for Martingale Strategy.
Small betting amounts will only make us play longer with this strategy but in the long run the end is losing the balance, it has been experienced by many gamblers and they say that how Martingale only went well in the beginning but do continue a few hours the result is the opposite, so what gamblers have to do is know when to quit the strategy before finally losing all the money.

Martingale doesn't really work even in short timeframe. The laws of probability is just being seen more clearly during longer lime frames. But it also guarantees that you might as well lose earlier. When it's a game of luck there are no patterns that work.
Actually, martingale is a fairly effective strategy for making a profit. If you rely on martingale for a short period of time, it's tantamount to hoping for luck, because martingale is a strategy that cannot be done quickly.
Unfortunately, what needs to be considered when using the martingale strategy is that gamblers need more money because if you rely on limited money, this strategy will never work.
There have been many gamblers out there who have proven this strategy, but they are a little overwhelmed because they have to spend more money than usual.
Maybe rich gamblers can easily spend big money to aim to get more profits, but for small gamblers this strategy is very difficult for them to implement.

Every week has its own share of luck, and if you are somebody that plays every day, i would also say that everyday has its own share of luck as well.
This is just how it is with gambling, there are times when one would hit big winnings that would surprise everyone around, but then also, there are other times when we just end up wasting money without winning a dime.

I have a friend who played pragmatic game and won $5000 three times in a row in one week, thats a total of $15,000 earned in just one week, he probably allowed the winning get into his head, the next week, he felt the winning would continue, he continued on the same game but this time, he wagered a higher amount on each round, before one could say jack, he already lost almost every penny of the money he won the last week.
So this is just how gambling is, everyone have their lucky time and how we use it determines our success in gambling.
Damn, losing all profit back is depressive, and not every gambler is ready to handle such stress. It is just a matter of luck at that moment, if you think wisely and withdraw profit it is all yours, otherwise, gamblers mostly lose all back sooner or later due to being greedy. The winners think in the wrong way, maybe they have thought it should be easy to beat the casino with the strategy they keep doing but the reality is completely different like in this case.
It's a hard earned lesson. Imagine all of the hard work you did last week turn into dust because of how greedy and confident you are that you can repeat everything you just did to earn that kind of profit. Casino wins majority of the time and this one is the example of that. Remember that casino has house edge and no matter how lucky you are, You will be hit by it as long as you stay longer than you should handle. I believe that we all have regrets like this though the profits loss might differ. $15000 is a big money for me and losing that kind of money personally even if it's a profit from a casino will make me regret hard.

We can double click the spin button so that the reels won't roll for too long. Maybe there is also an instant play feature for some of them. It's a great help if we are rushing and wants to see the results immediately. 100 spins is already a great number if one is playing the normal way and then betting with a good base bet.

I don't usually use the auto play function because the experience is much better if I am the one who clicks the spin button. It wasn't tiring though but if I am going to play with 3k spins then that's a different story anymore Grin. I think my fingers will be erased right after the game is finished. The minimum bet for pragmatic slot is $0.03 so if times 3000, that was still a whopping 90 dollars.

I know they don't use local currency when playing they use USD which means the minimum bet is $0.2 especially if he's hunting for a challenge
imagine $0.2 per spin in 3000 spins obviously it will drain our balance faster  Roll Eyes  but somehow this week pragmatic wasn't very friendly with me at Stake.com.

Yeah, I wish people would stop kidding themself with this tactic, as they could actually have fun time not pursuing something that doesn't apply to real world.
Proof that it doesn't work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optional_stopping_theorem

And if people would stop to think about it just a minute they would realize that IF it would work EVERYONE would be doing it, because it would totally hack gambling and probability as we know it.
