Hi guys,
Glad to be on the boards. I had a few general questions...
1) When the standard odds of blackjack are discussed, is the 3:2 payout for a blackjack considered? It seems like everyone just talks about the odds of winning a hand, but this, even though it would only affect the odds slightly, should be factored in..? Sorry if it is a dumb question.
2) Is it just me or is online blackjack waaaay more streakier than playing at the tables? It seems that every time I play online to practice, losing (and winning) 8-9 hands in a row happens at least once in 30 min to an hour. On the other hand, I don't think I've ever lost more than 5 or 6 in a row at the tables. I haven't played that much at the tables, but still, has anyone else had this experience?
