Ploppy blowup at virtual machine

After a successful craps session, I sat down at a six-deck, H17, late surrender virtual machine to play a few hands. Only one other player was there and he said he was "hot" and he asked me to wait for the next dealer. Remember, this is a virtual machine with the dealer on the screen! I guess he wanted to preserve the virtual "order" of the cards. I sat out and watched this ploppy get pounded. He took insurance and lost that every time he tried it. Then the simpleton ran out of money and didn't have enough for insurance on a given hand. I loved it when the dealer turned up her blackjack. :laugh:He cussed and moaned that when he had the money for insurance he always lost!The guy dropped like $500 in the few minutes I watched. When the virtual female dealer finished, a male replaced her. At that point, the ploppy called him a @#$%. Then I moved over to another machine.

That is the kind of guy who needs to bar himself from the casino. Then again, anyone that dumb deserves what he gets.

Might be a ploppy/AP hybrid.
Possibly a guy who believes the myth that the cards are shuffled when the dealer changes.

Not that it's impossible to count on those machines, just that it is pretty tricky and not that powerful.

Just remember most myths are loosely based on facts. I take the time to count cards dealt between dealer vchanges every time I encounter a new machine of this type.
