I work in CS for a UK based gambling company, and I can confirm that what you said comes with a caveat. We need to, for fraud reasons, ask security questions when a client wants to talk about withdrawals (or anything payment related) on chat. If they fail said questions, then we are obligated to ask for proof of identity and proof of address. If they know the answers to their questions then there's no issues.

I was playing online Poker and making good money about 13 years ago. Due to personal life I had to take a break. When I came back, all my money was gone from Titan Poker (fortunately not the biggest amount of my bankroll, but it was still 1,5k). Supposedly someone from a completely different country IP played with my account and gambled it all away. Yet no other Poker site had that happen (Full Tilt, Pokerstars, Party Poker). My account and the account the money was transfered to got closed and they just kept the money. When I contacted the support and also had evidence it couldn't have been me, they just told me "tough luck bro". That's when I completely stopped doing it. Admittedly never had issues with Stars or PartyPoker, but the risk was too high and the big Poker hype ended anyway.

Unlike a real casino, they can't see you, you could even in theory write down and make notes with computers and such, so the rule was created to be a shoe of 8 decks of cards cut in half after shuffle, but it's more of a visually cut in half like seen in the video, hence the counting card on Online casino is useless... Also, from what I can see that is the quality of dealers they hired is horrendous.. They all seemed to be hating their job!! You should've seen how I hosted my games.

I personally suspect that they load the high cards in the rear of the shoe, and then stack the shuffle to maintain the acrd distribution in general. This way the shoe could be audited and show complete decks, but the players never see the 60% half of the shoe, just the 40% bit@@stevenbridges

@@stevenbridges They don't need to cheat. They know it would be easy to watch the tables and jump in at the right time. With the short penetration they know that for the most part the count will hardly ever be positive enough to play plus the bad rules they have easily stopped counting. It also helps them in the long run because it will reduce variance for everyone else. So the people that jump in randomly at the right time and win big will be reduced.

@niwasox3 Жыл бұрын

The slow/impossible cashout is as much part of preventing counting as the bad game rules. Obviously these casinos are shady, but it'd also be almost impossibly to run one honestly. The strategy here would be to automate instead of sitting around for hours, evaluating each table and alerting you when the count is high. There isn't much they can do, these are just plain video streams in the background, likely even unauthenticated. You just need to visit every table once to get their URL. I've played around with this a bit, recording automatically generated football games that people can bet on online. The lack of asymmetry compared to a real casino meant that I had a few hundred thousand games to analyze in a couple of days. They can't bank on a counters being a small part of their business as a single counter could be every account on every table.

@AGryphonTamer Жыл бұрын

I've made bots that could scrape every bit of info needed for this, and then respond. It was my first "real" python project. My entire thought process throughout the video was how I would go about modifying it for blackjack. I did it then with permission from the game developer as a proof of concept, but if there's money to be had people will come. Even if it is absolutely illegal to do so here.

@PeterMoore66 Жыл бұрын

Online casinos really aren't that shady. I've made some decent money using casino offers arbitrage, which requires you to play a lot of hands of blackjack (without card counting) as well as lots of fruit machine games. I've probably got accounts at about 50 different online casinos. Most of them will ask you to confirm your identity and payment details when you join, and that is usually sufficient to prove address and income (required by the UK govt before they should open an account for you). On the odd occasion I've been unable to cash out, it's because the identity stuff hadn't been completed on account creation - but you can always check whether you have been validated at any time, and upload the proof of ID, etc, at any time before cashing out. I've never felt truly inconvenienced, nor that any online casino was being 'shady'. On the handful of times I had a problem, it was due to their procedures failing, or getting a bad customer service rep on the online chat.

Figured this was a bad idea lol. Good to know. I’ve been counting cards for awhile. Since 2018. But I’ve always been stuck. Counting cards at home when it’s quiet and practicing is super easy. But counting cards at the casino when it’s loud is a lot harder. Can’t get over it. Keeping track of the running count, then dividing and getting true count, then keeping track of the value of my hand then the dealers hand, then figuring bet spread, all while people are trying to talk to you while they’re drunk. Then the dealer trying to talk to you and the pit boss. Extremely hard. Always lose count. And it’s such a slow grind. Not worth it with my small bank account lol. Already kicked out of mgm and barely won anything.

Oh its really simple to do. While you are busy doing other things instead of counting. Do way more counting n i mean waaaaay more. My brain math is easy. My daughters not so much. So if urs is not a math brain then u may need 2x or 3x more practice. But you still can do it

Always wondered this: because you're playing online and it's easier to keep track of the cards, couldn't you develop a new counting method that tracks every card individually? Instead of using hi-lo, this new method keep tracks of every card that has been dealt and every card remaning. Would obviously have to use some sort of software, but wouldn't this more accurate count make the game playable even with bad penetration?

@meepilee7991 Жыл бұрын

Consider this: even if you have a perfectly accurate tracking program, it still doesn't solve the problem that you won't get many favorable positions in the first place. Even if it increases by 20%, it will still be nothing

@ryangray6682 Жыл бұрын

This is rough because with like 6 decks the count would have to be plus 30 to even be a true +5. Card counting really only works well with 2 decks

Nah not really. You can count cards with a six shoe. But it can only done WITHOUT an cuttingcard.

I think part of their strategy is to give people less time to think how much to bet, so they act more impulsive. No idea if they do it on purpose, but I tried and had the same experience as you. Maybe I should have looked this video first hahaha

I quit online Casino Blackjack after 10 consecutive sessions where I never got better than a 17 to start and the dealer had 9,10 , Ace or Face cards 80% of the time and would hardly bust or pull miracle cards whenever I had the advantage. It's just no fun or point when it appears things are manipulated!

@scottmghill Жыл бұрын

Speaking as someone with a career in computer systems, it seems clear that the online casinos are obviously cheating you - the apparent instability, getting constantly "timed out" or losing you connection seems way beyond anything other than intentional manipulation, clearly designed to frustrate you and/or rush you. The only reason to play so little of a given shoe at the cost of all that wasted playing time is that they are milking you so hard that they don't care about how long it takes.

I simply loved this video!!! Could you please do another video about online card counting??? Is it possible to write down the cards that are being dealt when you are playing online?? I play online and play mostly infinite blackjack with 4 different side bets cause I play blackjack mainly because of sides and I wouldn’t even think of playing blackjack without the sides. Is it possible to apply the card counting strategy to hit the sides on perfect pairs and 21+ 3( Three card - Dealer’s up card vs player’s 2 cards)?????? This could be a stupid question so I am sorry and it’s because I play online and you can see the way I play online on my videos and it’s pretty tough to win. Fellow gambler from Canada and I have subscribed to your channel!!!

The edge online really can’t be found in live dealer. However, deposit bonuses (particularly in NJ where the wagering requirements are generally about x50 ONLY THE BONUS AMOUNT) may be worth looking into. If you do the math, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Wagering requirement = bonus amount * (wagering multiplier / blackjack wagering contribution) Loss from house edge = wagering requirement * blackjack house edge Theoretical win/loss = bonus - loss from house edge If the bonus minus loss from house edge is positive, this is a positive expected value situation.

If I had an online casino, it would be all digital (no live dealers) but cheap games would be poor odds and high stakes would be the best games. $1 blackjack would be poor odds, $100/hand would be simulated single deck like El Cortez at 0.18% house edge. Craps would be 10x odds, baccarat would pay 9x on ties, and the poker room would still have an optional tip jar because even without a dealer; people still think they have to tip.
