Only one picture per post, so please bear with me

The follow up will be posted shortly-

Elimination blacjack on UB, since it is rigged, follows three basic patterns.

1) Everybody behaves themselves and plays like a realistic gambler. This happens, oh maybe 33 1/3rd% of the time. The dealer wins a normal amount of hands.

2) The dealer is invincible and you survive by playing normal. This also happens 33 1/3rd% of the time.

3) The dealer just bankrupted the casino. Massive raises all around that keep winning. Except me until I realize it's a "Monty Haul" table and start the successful aggressive betting campaign.

Preferring #1 and #2, my betting strategy is pretty conservative. This player didn't just indicate "Monty Haul." It opened the window, and shouted out, "I'm mad as hell, and I'm Monty Haul!!!"

Not one, not two but THREE positions took a hit with a hard 13 when the dealer showed a six. If this happened in a brick and mortar casino I'm sure all observers would have to be dragged away laughing uncontrollably by security since the bets were so big AND it worked for them. But, since it's just a stupid little rigged free money game for my benefit since no real humans other than me were playing, it will be ignored in the annals of history.

But, you did give me a little tidbit to apply my famous investigative mind to - my qualifying table finished first. For giggles I checked the other table before it was done. Three hands to get to the last elimination hand that will eliminate one of the four left. And...what's this? Why are the cards being dealt at least 2 times faster than my table was? Hmmmmm....maybe because you allow for a human time to process the information and think about it, while AI needs no time to think?

This is something that can be proven, and since they stupidly let me take second several more games will be played and everytime I qualify for the final table I will be checking the speed of play on any other tables in the same tourney.
