.. an angel gets their wings.
Heard that at a table last night.
Thats is only true on a 3/2 BJ payout. On a 6/5 payout the devil gets his due
Its a wonderful life! zg

I've had that same problem. I thought a BJ was supposed to be + EV :grin:Every time I get a blackjack...my wife gets new shoes.![]()

Reminds me of the time I played a promotion coupon entitling me to 2-1 BJs for 1-hr. My flat bet was $25 on a CSM - I got no BJs and lost $1000. zgLast night I was playing for 4 hours, exactly one angel got their wings and they were of the minimum size. I have no idea how that is even possible. The angel wouldn't even get me more money, causing me to have to walk away form a +10 count with 2 decks to go. What a Hell of an awful night!
only a degenerate gambler would make such a statement.

Well, if I make the assumption that BJ's are evenly distributed as expected, and that in 4 hours 32 BJ's are expected between you and the dealer and you only got one, then I get it's about a 1 in 130,000,000 that you'd get 1 BJ or less.
If I'm not totally off the wall, which I certainly could be, and then some, lol, may you enjoy such success on the next lotto ticket you buy :grin:
Wait, the dealer got more than his fair share of BJ's. So did other players at the table. It was just me.
Let's say 400 hands and 1 BJ every 21 hands, that's around 20 BJ's to be expected. But by no means is it that unlikely to have a stretch of 200 hands with no naturals for the player. .
