Today I was playing at Desert D. in Tucson, and in the begining was just perfect, but I played around 5 hours and I just get 6 BJ and the rest of the hands were awful after loose 150 dls. I just quit.
I know sometimes there is a bad shoe but hand after hand getting 5,7 and 12 I don't know what else could happend there.
Somebody had a similar experince.
i've gone hours without getting a BJ.
i've lost $100 flat betting in less than 1 hour at a full, slow table.
i've lost 12+ hands in a row.
in no cases did i suspect cheating. in your scenario how do you propose the house was cheating? were others getting BJ, was the dealer getting BJ? were others winning? what makes you think they were cheating? because you lost? :joker: what did you expect? to win $1000?
with $150, you have 30 bets. including splits and double downs, probably about 24 straight rounds. you could EASILY lose that in 2 shoes, or 1 heads up shoe. that is the nature of the game. you could almost just as easily win $150 in the same period.
reasonable expectations could be played out at your kitchen table with a $2 deck of playing cards. kick back one night and deal out 200 rounds of SD play (deal 6 rounds, play perfect BS, play perfect dealer strategy (i.e. hit til 17), keep a log of wins, losses, and pushes. tally up the longest "streaks" of each. multiply by your bet and you can see what the $ swing might be.
