When the dealer is showing a 6 and you have a 15, you don't hit and when you have a 14 and the dealer is showing a 10, you don't double down!

I can't stand it when these dvmbasses try to play blackjack.

If this was poker I'd ask you if you were out of your mind.

that's all fine and dandy except when you are playing on the $1 tables....some dude was getting all pissed when a friend of mine (female) wasn't hitting when she was 'supposed' to and staying when she 'should' have hit...

if you are gonna get all serious and sh!t, move up to the $5 tables....

The dealer was telling this woman what she was doing was stupid. She cost me $50 on that 15 hand and lost it for everyone by taking the dealer's 10. I was playing on that table for a couple hours but just got up after she did that to us.

I never understood why people got pissed at bad players.

This "She took the dealer's bust card" nonsense is just that. For every time she takes the bust card, she could easily be taking the dealers win card as well, or not hitting, and leaving the dealer a bust card.

Bad players don't change anything at a table. Your odds on each hand remain the same, no matter how many times they hit, or not.

The difference is not your odds, but what you SEE. You SEE the times they take what would have been a dealer bust card and this flips you out.

Just know it's irrational. Mind your own hand.

question: is it ultra n00bish to have one of those little guides on blackjack while at a table? i've never really played before and i'll be going to Vegas soon. would i be laughed off the table if i had a small guide on when to hit, stand, double, and split?

you never walk out without losing no matter how you play. Leave the noobs alone. because you never know what they going to do after you leave the casino

Gamblers are just superstitious like that.

I agree. People are stupid.

Can someone explain why? I know all the probabilities behind it but I thought this is called gambling. if everyone does the same thing everytime, is it still gambling? it's robots...

I'm pretty certain that most people gamble to gain, not lose.

Darn it, you beat me to it. I don't understand that stupid line of thinking... "well, he took the dealers 10, he should have stayed" etc. Lets face it, if you want to really 'make the correct move', you'd get up and leave the table, as even perfect blackjack play nets you a loss in the long run.

There is a statistically correct way to play every situation in blackjack, but it's pretty boring if you just play according to a chart.

in the first scenario, odds are the dealer will pull a 10 giving him 16, then he will bust on the next card. yeah it's gambling but there's smart gambling and stupid gambling. just about every situation in blackjack has a "correct" play based on the percentages.

doing those not hit when @@*%#++ and not double down when @*@*# will only slow you down from losing. you are still going to lose in the long run. i thought most people gamble for fun and expect to lose in the long run anyway. so does doing the same thing everytime the situation comes classified as fun?

yes i agree that there is a "correct" play in almost all scenarios in blackjack, but that still doens't mean people have to do that every single time. yes being ignorant is stupid. i am just saying it shouldn't be a problem if people 'occasionally' go against the 'correct' play as it's just gambling...
