Default Conclusive Evidence That Blackjack is Rigged

Gentlemen,

While playing my nightly blackjack session, I ran into the following gem which proves, conclusively, that blackjack actually is rigged. The image is not doctored in any way, shape, or form.



It is a very good thing that blackjack is such an easy game and I still ended my session up 200 dollars despite all the riggedness that transpired.

I'd love it if you could come up with a combination of 10 or 11 cards that results in a 21 with the total never exceeding or meeting 17.

Dan,

Write down the order and you will see that this is not right.

For example, seven aces yields a 17. 5 aces and a 2 yields a 17.

I stand corrected.

JJH,

A > 11 card combination isn't possible, right?

Correct, but an 11 card one with 2+2+2+2+3+A+A+A+A+A+5 (as stated a few posts back) can and has happened before.

This comment is way scarier than the picture...you just keep trying to beat online BJ, and let us know how it works out.

Oh, let me guess....you have a modified basic strategy system/counting system that beats the BJ computer....hmmmm..

ONLINE BJ is -EV. Period.
