Default Vegas 24,Strange variance re blackjack doubles & Splits

As an experienced whore I am not one to normally whinge about downswings. But Im now heading towards 3 standard deviation downswing on the $500 and $100 bonus reload, betting low stakes. (average 5-10). Have tapped original deposit out only 60% of the way through clearing WR, and nearly tapped out second smaller deposit.

Nothing unusual in a downswing except the nature of the losses appears recurring. On double opportunities Ive had virtually no tens, perhaps 2 dealt out of the last 60 -70 opportunities, which is way less than normal statistical random distribution. In addition, the dealer has an unusual amount of made hands at exactly drawing 21, both on doubles and splits. This is averaging close to 2 in 3 over the same number of doubled hands.Overall doubled losing rate over the
period is around 90%.

Other than this, the card distributions appear random.

I know there have been issues with Futurbet/IGS software but
if no one else has not had an issue so far Im happy to put it down to bizarre variance.

Interested to hear any experiences here.

Dennis, I couldn't agree with you more.I'm an experienced whore too and was down 140 units($5) after 4000 hands. I've "been there" a couple of times before and I know variance is the probable reason. BUT...it just seemed fishy. As you say I lost way below my share of doubles to dealer 21's--must be careful with stats but after 500,000 hands of BJ you know when something feels wrong and I was getting good cards.
However they've banned BJ now so somebody must be winning...

I got paid pretty quickly on this one (around 2-3 days after request) but I withdrew after only completing a small amount of the bonus $200 up. I just couldn't tollerate the software any more.

I actually had a really good run first time i played there. Was only playing $5 a hand but played 3 handed for about an hour and ended up about $120 up. I transferred some to poker and cleaned up a bit there even though limited number of tables but broke even on blackjack next 3 times i played so cashed out $400 and got it in matter of days. I think that Vegas24 is gonna be pretty sweet once picks up a bit more
