LOL, you would think so. I think perhaps my gambling problem has tainted the way I percieve things. When I made that post I had just gotten done going off another $5K, and I was calling the cards out, if I had 20 and the dealer had a 4, I would say to myself, ok, flip over your hole card seven and hit the paint to make 21. I mean every hand. I was starting to think I was psycic.
I am no mathmatecian, but I know the odds of getting 4 of a kind in stud poker is like 1 in 5,000. For a straight flush I am sure it is way up there, I think a straight is like 1 in 50 hands. Again, I have played thousands of hands online and I myself have never got 4 of a kind let alone a straight flush, let alone both of them and a couple of full houses ect… all within 10 hands. I would say it is damn near impossible.
What would you guys think if you were new to a local card game and you were playing some high stakes nl 5 card stud, and you saw someone get a straight flush, followed by a 4 of a kind, 2 full houses and the list goes on all within 10 hands. You would probably think the dealer is bottom dealing and get up and walk out. I would be willing to bet that there is not 1 single person on this earth that has ever seen all those mac hands within 10 hands in a live casino. You could take every caribbean stud dealer in the world and put them in a room and I bet none of them had seen something like that within 10 hands for the whole table, let alone one person like my unbelievably lucky dealer getting all those hands.
The one thing someone can clear up for me is if there are infact geniune random number generators, then how is it that every single one of the online casinos have a payout rate of 97% give or take a decimal point. If you look at the table games every single month it is the same thing, 97.5% or 98.2%. It would seem to me that at least once in a blue moon you would have a 90%, or a 110% payout. And because these audits are done every month, it makes even more sense to me that eventually you would see these numbers deviate. I mean common, do you mean to tell me that every single month all the players lose and win exactly the same percentage. It seems more likely to me that the table games too are set on a percentage, thus negating the rng.
My gambling has taken on a life of its own in the past 4 years, so I have to believe that I that I don’t see things the same way as others do, especially when I am losing. When I am wrong, I have no problems being a man about it and saying so. I am not conceding that I am wrong here, only that I understand how easy it can be for me to see things completely skewed from the way they really are. I have read somewhere that it is impossible to generate a completely 100% random number by a computer. This was years ago and may be why I have it in my head that this is a farce.
