Cipher Warning

Why would Cipher need investors if his system ALWAYS produces winning sessions of around 500 dollars? It you could get 500 dollars for only playing 40 hands, it wouldnt take that long to build your OWN bankroll, and instead use other people's money. Heck, you wouldn't even need to sell the system, you could give it away since you're making so much money!

500 is not a substantial amount to win in a session.

Substantial meaning: of real worth, value, or effect: substantial reasons. This statement is for LVHCM..

As a way of throwing a life line or so to speak to those fine folks over there at http://www.blackjackinfo.com I've dedicated this session to their posters in the hopes that they too will soon be able to master the fine art of reading trend analysis. After all we really do care.

How thoughtful! So is going to donate the proceeds to people who won't blow it all on worthless betting systems? No, of course not. There won't be any proceeds!

Is there any chance that it may work?

Hi All

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I'm fascinated by this Cipher debate and whilst I don't buy into the system per se I wonder whether there is any merit in the general hypothesis that randon number generators aren't random and can therefore be exploited? I'm no expert but I have spoken with several people that are and I am assured that RNG's are anything but.

For any artifacts of an RNG to result in any discernable patterns in a large-scale casino operation would require monumentally poor programming. But, even if the RNG was completely predicatable, his methodology is nonsense. The patterns he is looking for would not be caused by the worst of RNGs. Also, his statement that different casinos from the same group exhibit different patterns is goofy. Casinos don't run the software. The software for hundreds of casinos operates on huge servers run by the software companies. In addition, if someone had a way to beat an online casino consistently, they would quickly bar him. The concept of using a casino like an ATM is preposterous.

As far as i'm aware RNG are not completely random, but as close to it as makes no difference. I have heard of some faulty ones that allowed certain AP to rip holes in certain games, but these have been picked up on very quickly and replaced.
To think that an online casino is actually going to advertise (Yes Bodog advertise with Cipher and recommend using his system at their casino) for other players to use a system that is capable of actually beating their computer program is just ridiculous. It'd be the same as any other casino putting up a sign out front or running a TV advert saying "Come to the <insert casino name here> and use the Hi/Lo counting system, everyone welcome".
And i feel that the most important disclaimer on this one is that at no point - and i have read through all of Cipher's posts on this forum and had a good look through his own - despite being ask several times has Cipher shown ANY mathematical evidence that his system works.
All he offers is the screen shots of his winning sessions. No one here plays any system which only has anecdotal evidence as proof that it works. If you can't prove it mathematically - don't play it.
Even if Cipher is being genuine (tbh i think he's just another scam artist) and his system did work for him that doesn't mean it actually works. Arnold Snyder wrote a great piece that is very relevant to that topic that you can find at http://www.bjrnet.com/member/voodoo_archive2/index.cgi?read=1004

The Swami, meanwhile, had a new ad campaign going, which was based on honest facts: "More than 400,000 of my followers doubled their money the first day! More than 1,200 of these dedicated disciples have watched their $100 bankrolls grow to more than $50,000!"
I should start a system like that.
Picture this,

Lucky Ned in cooperation with old man Brutus have developed a powerful new gaming concept!!!

its loosely based on Ned's old system, but with a twist. double after every loss!
"use our lucky travel agency for the most fortunate rooms/suites at the spotless "El Tonto" Casino and Resort in Las Vegas!
The El Tonto has packages for all budgets, and offers up to .005% in cashback comps!

That my friends says it all! QFIT, please summarize your credentials for making such a scathing review. zg

That is totally over-the-top for Bodog to be promoting that system for use at their casino. Only an idiot would believe it, but there are plenty of idiots with a gambling problem. Bodog was worthless as a place to play online because they never offered a legitimate bonus, and you'd have to be an idiot to play without a bonus even if you are just a gambler. Hey I think I've detected a pattern here!

Hopefully the Wizard of Odds will take this unethical behavior by Bodog into account and reconsider his promotional arrangement with them.

I'm not going to enter my resume:) But, as far as RNGs; my first experience programming with RNGs was over 40 years ago and my last yesterday. As far large application construction; during my tenure as a Citibank VP, I ran the technology strategy and architecture area covering 75 businesses in 45 countries. I've also lectured/consulted on software architecture in two dozen countries in North America, South America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Of course like the rest of us here; I have a "meaningless little life."

Standard Bodog MO. They don't like to buy normal ads. They offered to pay me to add text to qfit.com suggesting that people use my software in conjunction with Bodog. I responded that I don't do that.

Well he sells that sports betting thing, and Bodog has the best bonuses for sports betting.
Good lines too. I use Bodog for football betting myself. Um, that is I would if it were legal:)

Good lines for small limits.

Also, they only give the good lines to squares and low limit bettors. I've heard of many people who get different lines at bodog, or the "sharp" lines. Basically bodog has great lines for underdogs, but they will give you different lines if you hit them too hard.

I know just about nothing about sports, but I can assure you that almost all of my bets that I make are +EV. Yes, it is possible to know nothing about sports, and be a winning sports bettor.

You should give me enough credit to know that I am not just some gambler!
