    Watching my first ever live Blackjack ever! :D

    I am at Seminole Hard Rock, Classic and... There is a live Blackjack and The Dealer busted four times in a row. Blackjack looks incredibly easy judging by the Dealer losing four times in a row. The Gambler keeps winning, but keeps playing half his winnings. This is a bad strategy, right? :/

    I would play a progression based upon $1000 chips, because this dealer is hot and this thread is so yellow.

    LMAO! The Dealer did seem to be a bad Player but I have to keep in mind that he could turn good any second. Still it seemed like a very fun and beatable game. Tge Table Minimum scared me a bit. $15 Minimum for Live Blackjack vs $5 for Electronic Blackjack at Hialeah.

    Wow, you're right. If I were you I'd bet maximum every hand possible. Such a terrible dealer.

    I can understand 21forme. Sometimes, you have to read a forum for a while before starting a thread. If you had taken the time to look through archives or just read threads, you would know your question would annoy regular members here.

    I am new to Blackjack and had never seen live Blackjack before and I thought this would be a good thread....:/

    I think what people are kind of off-put by is that this forum is mostly people who are either advantage-players, people who want to be or are studying to become advantage-players, or recreational non-APs who nevertheless know the game very well (and who know they are long-term losers). But all of the people in those three sets know and avoid mental weaknesses like the gambler's fallacy, and know that short-term variance is meaningless statistically... none are just there for the thrill of gambling and giving away our money to casinos as fast as we can.

    Your statement betrays a massive misunderstanding in the meaninglessness of the short-term. Depending on number of decks and rules, if you are playing perfect basic strategy the dealer will win ~48% of hands, the player will win ~43% of hands, the the remaining ~9% will push. Those numbers don't change just because you saw a dealer lose 4 times in a row at some point. Another time the dealer might win 4 or more in a row; in fact, it is much more likely he will win 4 in a row than lose 4 in a row. But none of that matters, because when enough hands are played, the dealer will be winning more hands than you at the rate that the statistics outline.

    Correct; any progression system of betting is a bad strategy. If you are not playing with an advantage (such as by counting cards) any betting strategy is a bad strategy other than not playing at all. If you insist on playing, the best strategy to lose as little money as possible is to flat-bet the table minimum and to make sure you play perfect basic strategy. But better to avoid the casino entirely, especially if you find yourself getting off on the dopamine rush that could lead to a dangerous addiction.

    If you're new to Blackjack and want to learn how to make sure the house has the smallest advantage against you as possible, I'd recommend reading Eliot Jacobson's book "The Blackjack Zone" which is an excellent primer on blackjack and the statistics involved, how to spot a bad game, and how to avoid bad thinking such as "that player took the dealer's bust card." At the end of the book, it talks a bit about advantage play.

    At a minimum, learn perfect basic strategy, learn that luck does not exist, and remember that blackjack is not beatable (even with perfect basic strategy) except with a lot of work (learning and mastering card counting is the most famous method) and a ton of self-discipline and control. If you're here to gamble, it might not be the right forum, and you can expect the regulars to dump on you non-stop; they're probably doing you a big favor.

    Nice post. You said
    “Correct; any progression system of betting is a bad strategy.“

    True enough. However, what might LOOK like a progression strategy can be effectively utilized within a 2 tiered betting strategy.

    Oh, for sure; I was only speaking in terms of someone playing without some other advantage. The fact that so many ploppies use a progression system makes it perfect for disguising some actual advantage play. So perhaps I should be urging OP on...

    Kidding though, OP; seriously, get out of the casino while you can.

    Knowing your history, part of my problem with you is the fact you use different handles on every forum, have used multiple handles on the same forum, are a known troll, and have been banned from 4 or 5 different forums.

    If you are serious about learning BJ, read some beginner books, such as those written by Snyder. There are plenty of threads on the forum with book suggestions. Do a search. Then, after reading, if you have questions, come back and ask them. Asking questions with a zero knowledge base won't get you too far on a forum of experienced players.

    Well, I ONLY admitted to my Socks because I thought I would be getting reinstated on WOV if I admitted to all of my Socks. I didn't get reinstated and in fact, I got kicked off even more websites after admitting to my Socks. In fact, it has even been mused that I wasn't reinstated on WOV BECAUSE I admitted to all of my Socks. It was mused that I may have been reinstated on WOV had I not admitted to those Socks. On top of that, I get dragged so hard on multiple websites for admitting to those Socks. Still banned from WOV, still banned from DT, banned from even more websites, dragged so hard for the Sock thing. Silly me. I was an idiot to actually admit to those Socks in hopes of being reinstated. It would be like confessing to First Degree Murder in hopes of being let out of jail. Stupid.

About Blackjack: The Forum

BJTF is an advantage player site based on the principles of comity. That is, civil and considerate behavior for the mutual benefit of all involved. The goal of advantage play is the legal extraction of funds from gaming establishments by gaining a mathematic advantage and developing the skills required to use that advantage. To maximize our success, it is important to understand that we are all on the same side. Personal conflicts simply get in the way of our goals.
