Man, that “scripted UFC prelim” line had me chuckling—feels way too real sometimes! Your story about those dealer hands stacking up like that definitely raises an eyebrow. I mostly hang out in the sports betting corner, grinding through biathlon data, but I’ve dipped my toes into live dealer games enough to get where you’re coming from. The vibe of something being off hits hard when the house seems to have a sixth sense for winning.
I don’t have a ton of live dealer experience, but I’ve been nerding out lately on how platforms handle their tech, especially after digging into some betting markets for athlete transfers. The logic’s kinda similar—there’s always a question of how much control the system has. Like, in biathlon, I analyze shooting accuracy and ski times to spot patterns for bets, but with live dealers, it’s tougher to pin down. I’ve read up on how some casinos use automated shufflers or RNGs that are supposed to be audited, but if the platform’s license is from some obscure jurisdiction, it’s hard to trust those audits. Your three perfect hands in a row sound like the equivalent of a biathlete nailing every shot in a 50km/h wind—possible, but you’re gonna side-eye the conditions.
A while back, I was messing around on a blackjack table on a Curacao-licensed site, and I swear the dealer’s upcards were hitting 10s and aces like they were magnetized. I didn’t have hard proof of anything shady, but it felt like the deck was stacked, no pun intended. After that, I started sticking to bigger names with UKGC or Malta licenses—less room for funny business, at least in theory. I also check X for player rants about specific sites; sometimes you catch wind of patterns there before they hit the forums.
You mentioned the platform you were on—any chance you can drop the name? I’m curious to cross-check it with some of the casino research I’ve been doing. Also, do you track your sessions at all? Like, jotting down wins, losses, or those weird streaks? I do that with biathlon bets to spot if my predictions are off or if the bookie’s odds are screwy. Might help you figure out if it’s a pattern or just a rough night.
