Why oh why? Explaination needed urgently . . .

[newb99]

My most recent visit to the House of Chance resulted in a fairly profitable session - 27 units up after around 75 minutes of play.

But I'm desperate to know why whenever I have 6 or more units in the box, the dealer always seems to pull a 5 or 6 to their 16 or 15? It happens with monotonous regularity and is becoming tiresome. Over the last two sessions I've seen around two dozen units swept up as a result of a 19 or 20 being beaten in this way? Do I need to book a session with a marabout?

Ideas?

If you are up 27 units in 75 minutes, it may just be time to let those other units slide--sounds like a pretty good end outcome to me.

Remember, in order to get up those 27 units you probably had a few hands where you drew out on the dealer also.
I know it appears that the dealer will draw out more often than you, but that is because you can stay on some of your stiffs but the dealer must hit all of their's.

I had a pretty good visit with the house of chance the other day as well. 100 units in 6 shoes. Gotta love that positive varience hey?

And regarding the dealer making hands all the time? You always remember when the dealers makes a hand but its expected when the dealer busts. In the long run it will even out

Newb, Interesting that you addressed your question not to the general board, but to the Voodoo. Do you want a voodoo explanation?

You are suffering from "selective memory"

The emotional effect upon you of the dealer "drawing out" makes it memorable.
When it is you who makes a good hand when hitting a "stiff" you do not later remember it.

Ask some random BJ players the following:
"Who gets more blackjacks? You or the Dealer?"
The obviously correct answer is that there is NO difference;
but I suspect that the majority of players will say that it
sure "SEEMS" that the dealer has more BJ's than they do.

Flash, My selective memory has no trouble recalling the time the dealer killed me stone dead with an epidemic plague of biblical proportions of: Dealer 21s off any and everything, beating my good hands over and over, especially when the count significantly favored me. Now I can let it go... Thank you. Will there be any charge for that?
I suggest you be retained by the management here to provide much-needed help for our psyches. Sometimes, for some unknown reasons, the emotions seem to rule the mind and stomp on logic/reason. Next, can you help us with some hints on how to control the emotional beast inside; then next week, you can start on my multiple personalities. I desire my regular WINNER to be always present and in control, OK?

No, I don't have a selective memory. Just wanted comments on whether it's the same cosmic force at work that always results in toast landing butter side down when it's dropped.

Lighten up !
