    Never gets old, right?

    The damn magic dealer spot. Hoping to get off to a hot start this year after barely having a losing year last year.

    So far, 4 losing nights and one winning night. Played two shoes tonight, both "went hot", pushing the bets...in both shoes i had no 20s or black jacks at all, dealer had several 2 card 20s, then had a 16 w a high count and still drew the 4! A fast $400 lost tonight.

    Hard to post, because if you lose enough ppl will question your play instead of considering the dealer had seven 20s to your zero.

    Fun, fun, fun!!!!!

    I agree. In 2019 I only won 40% of my sessions. I’ve been underwater the last 200 hours. I can’t forget one shoe where the dealer got 21 fifteen times.

    5 years ago, I was the only player in a deeply cut 2 deck game. I lost every hand. That's 25-30 hands with an average of 2.7 cards/hand.
    Obviously, the deck was positive throughout this misadventure.

    I had a DD game a few years ago where I won EVERY hand until the cut card came out. Of course I never raised my bet, as the count hovered around zero the entire time.

    I’m racist towards Indians tribes that own casinos and are hostile towards patron and use tribal police as protection. They all should be scalped is the term I believe I used

    Recently at my table, someone won ten hands in a roll and I lost ten hands in a roll in the same period. The count is slightly negative so I lost ten minimal bets in a roll. But the winner is a ploppy, he added $10, $15 or $25 to the bet after each win. So the last hand he won before the yellow card came out is about $250. He would have won more if he double 11 against 7, 8, 9 and 10. But ploppies only double when 11 is against bust card. Bad night for me, I only had two Blackjack in three hours. I cannot blame the ASM since I saw dealers and ploppies at the table as a whole get BJ in normal frequency. That being said, when I determine ASM operates in normal mode, even I don't get much BJ, my session loss is very limited.

    It won't make the memory any less painful but it must have been more like 13-15 hands. Can't forget about the cards the dealer gets each round.

    Not that long ago...I had 4 blackjacks in one shoe. The problem is though, it was all during a -1 to 0 count...so it was all minimum bets.

    As far as when it is high counts, the dealer is winning the blackjack battle roughly 80% to 20%.

    In my 600+ hours of play...I have seen the dealer win an ungodly amount of hands in a row in high counts, but I have yet to have an absolutely crazy streak.

    I've had the (1) shoe before where I won almost every hand...but nothing crazy beyond that.

    Had a double deck game many years ago where I lost every hand of the shuffle, but hit 2QH lucky ladies on the only hand I bet it for a healthy profit anyway. Lost that hand also to a 3 card 21.

    Grnmax, you're correct. Thanks for pointing it out.
    I was thankful it was only 2 decks.

    Even if they dealt to the last card you're not getting 20 hands
