My friend was playing bj and had J4 v 10. He hits and draws a Q. The dealer says, "nice 21 sir" my buddy thinks the dealer is just being a smart ass. But then the dealer continues on, busts himself, then pays my friend. Wtf!

May the Variance be with you.
I wonder if Don has ever tinkered with developing an added edge for dealer error.
Seems like one must always exist assuming dealers aren't perfect and APs are savvy enough to catch any error that goes against us and ignore the opposite.
Though it would probably be difficult since simulations won't give you the answer. I imagine you'd need a large sample of real world empirical data. Casinos may have it.
The most common dealer error I see is a mispay on my $30 or $40 bet. I have a green chip on the bottom and they assume it is just an all red chip bet. Happens a lot after just flat betting $10 for awhile.

Freightman, my biggest dealer confrontation was a dealer who paid me out on a blackjack. Dealer has a six up with three other players at the table draws to a 21 and grabs up everyones chips including mine that I left in the betting square even though I had a blackjack and was paid already. It was a bit of a delayed reaction on my part due to taking a step back to look at my phone.
People make mistakes. The key is to catch the ones that go against you and collect on the ones that don't. Biggest-most common mistakes I see are on color up at the end of the session. Don't just assume that because both the dealer and the PC agree on an amount that it is correct. Check it yourself very carefully always!
