Worst negative variance you have experienced?
I'll go first. Please keep in mind this is the CARD COUNTING, or AP forum, not basic strategy playing.
Once while spreading 1-8 on a 6D shoe, I lost 100 of my minimum bet but that was only 15 of my max.
Another time on a SD game, I lost 60 of my minimum and about 18 of my max.
It is worth noting that on that SD session, which lasted several hours, the dealer hit every hand possible, almost always had 1 more than me, never busting, even my 20s and 21s rarely won. While a repeat of this or worse is certainly statistically possible, I've had a number of positive sessions that were as bad as this was good.
Point of this thread though is those horror stories are a good idea to remind us of worst case scenarios.
Also, feel free to post single sessions or negative variance that spanned multiple sessions. I have been fortunate to avoid those so far.
