A New Low

Stop making excuses for these cheating casinos. Going 0 for 50 lines with KJ suited is prof enough for me that the casino is cheating. Use Bayes theorem. I have talked about how to do this. Please people stop making excuses and believe what the facts say. If the guy was reporting right going 0 for 50 with KJ suited he was 100% CHEATED. You can believe me!!

No kidding.

I have a friend who was playing $1 5-play NSUD. She drew to a pair of 2s
and got quads on THREE LINES.

Obviously, the casinos are cheating scum.

The royal cycle in most games is like 40K-50K hands. By your "logic"
this is proof that anyone who's ever hit a royal 100% CHEATED. Or a
dealt royal, geez, that's 1 in 650K.

There's no point name-dropping Bayes' theorem or appealing to "facts"
if your threshold for cheating is "my gut says this is impossible."

Ok, I’m going to do something that doesn’t happen anywhere near enough on this site. I’m going to lay out all the conditions for a statement then look at the results.

The original poster said that he went 0 for 50 holding KJs in deuces wild. Here’s what that would look like:

Game : 9/4/4 deuces wild 50 play ( I picked a deuces wild flavor. It shouldn’t matter too much for this case)

Event: dealt KJ suited ( discards weren’t specified, but should not matter too much)

Result: no winning hand

Math

p( non winning hand from KJs) = 13802/16215 = 0.85119 (from Winpoker)

p( non winning hand from KJs on all 50 hands) = 0.85119^50 = 0.00031714 or 1 in 3153 ( from Bayes, so at least you got that part right)

This is roughly the same probability as seeing red come up 11 times in a row at roulette.

So, from a sample size of 1, not having set the conditions or hypothesis beforehand, a 1 in 3153 result becomes conclusive proof of cheating? You should never walk into a casino again. And you saying ‘believe me’ when you lay out a nonsensical argument doesn’t help your claim.

Pretty stupid way to cheat. You take a low paying event ( KJs is worth 1.7 coins per line) and force a rare occurrence ( no winning hands). So, a casino sets up a high risk of detection event for a low payout? Casinos do some stupid things but this isn’t on the list.

Glad someone is on the right track (in my initial reply I put frequency at 1 in 2000-3000, allowing a range of potential hold penalties).

It’s threads like these that warm the cockles of my heart (extending faith that a decent number of attractive plays will continue to exist because some “diamonds in the rough” will continue to be overlooked because of preconceptions).
