Sick of the talk of 21 the movie

[blackchipjim]

I'm so tired of sitting at tables with the dealers talk centered on the stupid movie. I think the dealers are so hung up on the thought of catching someone they forget thier primary job. I have had dealers screw up paying winning hands wrong and adding thier own hands wrong that I could scream. They blah,blah blah 21 the movie blah, blah and then go on to take a winning hand and pay losing ones. I've told more than one dealer to concentrate on what the @#$$ they are doing or they can play homeless dealer in the sequel. blackchipjim

The more dealer errors the better.

I've never heard word one about the movie while at the casino. I guess I must not get out much.

I would normally agree with Qfit about dealer errors but if it reaches a certain level the pit is standing by the dealer. I believe it can slow the game down to a point of making the game unplayable. The dealers,and there is not many of them do it to show thier gambling prowess. Casual consevation is one thing and not letting the conversation get away from the movie is another. blackchipjim

It came up in conversation once or twice when I was in Vegas in April. I just said, "Oh, is that that blackjack movie? I hear the blonde's pretty hot." That usually ends the topic pretty quickly (strangely enough - usually hot blondes make for better conversation than math and nerds).

The movie has error in it. The MIT boys said so. Just look it up on Google and you can see where they said it had errors. If people go by the movie they might be putting them self up for a down fall

How can the dealer error? They play the game like it is suppose to be played. Stand on 17 and hit on 16 on down. How can they error?

They can miscount their hand or your hand; they can pay out on pushes or push wins. Assuming the dealer makes errors both in your favor and against you, you can profit by selectively correcting mistakes only when they go against you.

Oh OK. I get what you are saying now. They are up and up about the movie so they cheat people to get what money they might have lost to card counting or they just get so agitated they mess up on how much they are suppose to pay cause they assume you are counting cards.

I guess that is what you are saying

Not necessarily because they think you are counting cards, they may have had a long day or may be new to dealing. Most dealers don't care if you're counting, and hardly any would risk their jobs to try and cheat you... how could they gain from that?
