introducing stars blackjack

I find it extremely odd that most 2+2ers would agree the casino is rigged but not the poker in any way shape or form becuase of the standard "what would they get out of it from rigging it"?

Casino isn't rigged; it has an unbeatable house edge. Which isn't the point. Betfair realised that you can have 0 edge games and still bust every degenerate. Remember amihotornot.com, where you rated a girl and were automatically presented with a new girl to rate? Online blackjack is that but infinitely sicker. It's lottery scratchcards marketed to 'skill' poker players.

Your sarcasm detector is broken. Also, All Blackjack is rigged, rigged around 50.5-52 percent in the casinos favor.

Since I have no self control when drunk or tilting as far as blackjack goes, I would immediately stop playing Stars.

But like many others, I highly doubt this is true.

If true time to load up full tilt.

Serious question, I'm not sure how I see the analogy works.
Do you mean that even though the game is 0 EV, the online casino keeps the player gambling long enough (fast hands, convenience) such that variance eventually busts the degens (they move up if they hit a solid upswing).

However, it seems that for every degen that busts out, some random nit gets an upswing and just cashes out. Hard to see how a 0 edge game can be profitable for a casino (though easy to see how it might bust degens).
