I was once playing hi-lo in a casino and although I didn't actually count the number I believe I must have won 16 or 17 hands in a row including a couple of double downs and a couple of blackjacks. A plus count never developed so I had only my small bet out. All of the amateurs who press their bets in this situation would have made really good money. I felt foolish and could feel my face getting red even though I knew that it's all part of the game. Those same amateurs would have lost much more pressing their bets waiting for that to happen.
