Hi everyone I am new to this message board and I want to thank everyone in advance for all of their help.
Let me start out by saying I play blackjack around once a week on average. I know basic staggery and I know how to card count, but I am not a pro by any means. I have a few questions about the casino I play at let me first state the facts before I go into any questions.
I play at this Indian casino and know as a fact they have been busted for removing aces out of the deck not once but twice. Also when they put new cards into play they never show the cards face up. I lose 9 out of 10 times I play there and I struggle to win. I was literally $2.50 ahead for my 1 out of 10 chance of winning. I watch table after table after table get wiped out and it doesn't matter what table you sit at (same at every table) the dealer is always hot. The other players don't just lose they get blown away with the force of a nuclear bomb. I have seen the dealer go 3 straight shoes without busting. Also I have gone 45 minutes without winning a hand. When I tell you people these stories it isn't a small sample size this consists of at least 3 years of play and several thousand hands. I have a computer simulation of blackjack and it says you should walk away even or ahead 42 percent of the time as long as you bet constant. Which I do table min when table sucks and slowly raise when I win.
Now for the questions part and they are as follows;
1.) I have played before and have counted 23 straight non 10 valued cards in a six deck shoe. I know that you have about a 33 percent chance of pulling a 10 value card. That's how so many people get wiped out there is because face cards never come out. Anyone with half a brain would raise their bet the next hand thinking I got a chance of receiving a really good hand or the dealer has a strong chance of busting. Then the next hand comes and everyone has 12s through 16s and the dealer had a bust card showing. I bet you guys never guess what come next!?!? The dealer pulls a 4 card 20 and everyone loses. (Go back to my story about the dealer not busting for 3 shoes). So what are the odds of 23 none 10 value cards coming off in a row.
2.) Have you guys ever heard of second dealing? I think that may be a factor in this as well. I read several articles about it and the number one way of telling is that if the dealer pulls 2 cards out of the shoe by accident. I went there before and have seen countless number of times the dealers pulling out more than one card lots of times especially with new dealers doing it least 10 times a shoe. Then they would say man these damn cards. Also I am friends with a pit boss and he told me the dealer who caused the other players to lose the most gets a huge bonus check monthly. So are they second dealing their customers.
I could go on and on but I think you guys get the point. Let me conclude by saying I have been to at least 50 casinos and I have never seen one as bas as the one as I talked about. I wouldn't go there anymore except the next closet one is more than 100 miles farther and that is terrible. I have played at least a million hands of blackjack in my life in those other casinos I have played in and I know the odds pretty well. So this is at least 3 years of observation at this casino. So could some pro player please answer my question that would be greatly appreciated.
