"Your odds of hitting a blackjack are actually pretty good, but the timing is everything."
Just may use this as a tagline.
Not necessarily stupid just humorous in light of the fact that many non-counters play by feel. But I'm not sure I'd agree that 1 in 21 is good odds.
In the video the player received a BJ off the top of a freshly shuffled shoe with an all or nothing bet of $2500. Nice win for the guy, he won the right to make the bet or take $1000 cash.
I didnt say this guys reasons for saying this were the right ones.
and if your timing is good, the odds of being dealt a blackjack are a lot higher than 1 in 21. Thats exactly what makes the comment a very accurate one. Thats a line that could come out the mouth of any real pro.
No bjarg, you are mistaken.
You said:

One in twenty one is odds of 20 to 1.
The odds of hitting a BJ on the first hand is approx. 21-1.
It will seldom improve to better than 19-1, or drop below 24-1.
