    Being the degenerate that i am, i decided to put some money back on Ultimate bet, 800 to be exact. Played a lil bit of 15/30 limit, won a few hundred and then proceeded to play blackjack for the next few hours were i was up to almost 6k before losing it all. Here is where the superuser question comes in. Did they have the ability to see what the hole cards were if they were playing black jack as well. They had max bets of 200 dollars back then, but still an enormous edge such as seing the hole card could allow someone to make hundreds of thousands dollars 200 dollars at a time. Do any pocket fivers know anything about this aspect of the superusers abilities. Doesnt matter to anyone else but it would still be a sick advantage to be able to have in blackjack.

    I play blackjack very rarely, so g.a. is not really necessary, but going back to my question, does anyone know the answer?

    I am not trying to bash you but I am really getting tired of these ignorant posts relating to the AP/UB scandal. First of all, if you do not feel safe playing there, DON'T! End of story. Do not proceed to put money on there and when you go busto decide it would be appropriate to become educated on something that occurred awhile ago, not to mention had absolutely nothing to do with blackjack. As the previous poster stated, the scandal was found to be conducted by owners of the company, so saying that the owners used their "superusing" abilities in blackjack to win AP's money is just dumb. Try gooogle, you would be surprised at the many answers you could find on your own without posting about something I think everyone is tired of hearing about.

    Online blackjack is maybe the most profitable form of gambling on the net. I know dozens who are killing the game daily.

    While this is true that the owners of the company were the ones perpetrating the scam, i do believe that ownership of the company had transferred over by that time, so in fact, they were not stealing money from themselves when playing blackjack, but from the new owners. I do not feel that i have been cheated by UB in any way in this circumstance. But i wish i had cashed out like i wanted to. Whats even funnier is that i went to cash out through a bank wire, but didnt have the proper swift number. Fast forward a few hours..bye bye bankroll..You live and hopefully you learn but fml...i wish i had atleast taken it to a like a 200 400 limit table and take my chances that way then by giving it all back to the company itself.
