It's just martingale, so essentially a massive bet at very low odds to win a tenner. You will win almost all of the time but eventually will blow your bank.

(NOT IP's addresses which are different every time you logon)

my ip address signing in to BF every day is static.

In 1991, Australian businessman Kerry Packer stepped into a casino and left with $7 million thanks to blackjack. But this isn’t even the most extraordinary win we’re looking at in this list. What’s even more impressive is when Packer won $40 million in less than an hour at the Las Vegas MGM Grand.

Packer’s winning strategy was playing eight hands simultaneously on the same table and betting a massive $250,000 on each round. And unlike other wins on this list, Packer’s win didn’t take months but mere minutes. After just 40 minutes of blackjack, he cashed out an astounding $40 million. Naturally, he left his dealers a million-dollar tip.

Sadly, Packer might not be on the list of the most skillful blackjack players. He’s also known to have lost £27.4 million in 10 months and even $10 million in one night. However, after cleaning out the house a few times, we’d say he got even before being served with a lifetime ban.


Bet that got quiet a crowd watching What were the odds the dealer quit same night

i was with zeljko once in a casino. he said he wasnt allowed near the table despite auto-shuffle, which seems daft. what did they think he would do?

Rico,,,you must have a static IP address then? Did you buy one?

Take it from me, though, if normal IP addresses did not sit in a pool with all the other currently not-in-use IP address to be allocated every time anyone logs on to the web, then the internet would become unusable very, very quickly!

If we all had the same, static IP address then there would be more people than available IP addresses. Something called sub-net masking comes into it, as well.

So, if you do not have a specific, static IP address, then I cannot see how you can be logging onto to BF with the same one all the time.

But, remember, it isn't at the logon with BF you receive the IP address for your online session, it is when you first logon to the internet itself. After being a mainframe programmer, I then qualified with Cisco twenty years ago as a CCCE. Hence, I do have a reasonable idea of what I am talking about. Mind you, I have been retied since 2013 when I sold my business for good money - so perhaps things have changed and the new idea back when I was finishing up of creating unlimited IP addresses has now come to pass!

(Lastly, though, the cookies which are placed on your computer, or phone, by all the sites you visit can make it look like you do have the same IP address.)

And Jamee and all..it isn't a martingale because he wasn't changing stakes every time he hit losing hands (as far as I know). I never said that when I told the tale, either. Everyone has just assumed that to be the case. He was just banking on getting one unit in front a some stage.

BTW, I was not really passing judgement on what he said he was doing, although it wasn't a totally unreasonable idea. That said, about 15 years ago, on a dull Sunday morning, I once played BJ online and lost 26 hands in a row playing 'classic' strategy before it dawned on me that playing with a unseen 'dealer' was probably the height of stupidity! Never, ever touched it since and never will.
