Glad I'm not the only one thats noticed that with Blackjack then.theoak wrote:I agree about the blackjack. If I could be arsed I would do a few stats test on it and show how statistically unlikely the results I have had on the are. as you say, even when you get a 20, you often see 'them' getting 10,2,2,1,SIX! if, like me you suspect quite strongly that it is rigged, avoid temptation and just DONT PLAY THE BLACKJACK!! I think the roulette legally HAS to be random?
Whther that is adhered to and whether the other games do or dont have to be 'random' I dont know myself...
Anyway the good news is I came off the online gambling and haven't played for months. I lost shitloads - I'm talking hundreds, if not getting onto a grand over the course of a couple of months the back end of last year - I'm at college getting only £30 a week ema money with the odd 20 / 30 quid from my part time job (doesnt provide regular hours).
I was definitely fully addicted at one point and it was seriously fucking my life up. Glad to say I'm fine with it now - had all my accounts locked, or where that couldnt be done I went as far as changing the passwords (putting in random letters with my eyes closed) and then changing the email addresses to a made up address so that I could never reset them. Sounds drastic but hey, it worked!
I'm ok with money - it just annoys me how stupid I was. I could have spent the money on so many other things - I'd have had more at christmas to buy people something really nice, particularly my mum whose been really supportive this year. I could hav bought the new drumkit that I want. And it messed my head up that much I pissed off a lot of friends with mood swings and acting like a tosser.
