Dumbest dealer on earth

I was at a 6 deck table and had a 12 against dealer 6. I waved, but dealer started to give me a card. I shouted "I waved", but it was too late and the dealer gave me a card. Usually, in a case like this the dealer calls to the pit, but he didn't. He asked me if I wanted the card. It was a 6. I said "yes". He said, "You don't have to take it if you don't want it". Duh! I said "I'll take it." That started a firestorm of conversation by the ploppies about what that did to the flow. The dealer busted, so everybody was happy.

When Charles Town first opened, we had a dealer who had a soft 22. One of the players told him he had busted with 22, so he paid the entire table. :eek:

I think in Harrah's Chester, such a dealer error would result in the pit boss being called, and everyone at the table would be given the opportunity to pull back their bets. I've seen similar situations like that in which a surrender is mistaken for a hit, the hit card busts the player at first base, and the pit boss is called over. Everyone could take back their bet. The dealer showed a 10 and so everyone took their bet back.
Would it be right to take back your bet for 18 vs 2?

I am sure someone can provide the mathematical probabilities for 18 vs 2. If I were at a table, and had to make a decision without the benefit of such analysis, I would keep the 18. Let's see if my instincts are correct.

You only say I waived if you got a 10 and busted. If they give you anything that didn't bust you just keep quiet and don't make a big deal about it. As a dealer I hated calling the pit boss over. Dealers that make mistakes are profitable for you!

She wasn't the dumbest, but busted with 27

Glad she kept hitting her "soft 17" with my max bet out there.

Standing on 14 vs a 6, she flips over a 5, hits it with a 4, hits it with an ace, hits it with another ace, says "soft 17" and proceeds to bust with 27 :laugh::laugh:

No one said a word :grin::grin::grin:

When the table games first opened up in PA, there were a lot of really bad dealers. One dealer had an Ace upcard, didn't ask for insurance, peeked at his hole, and made a motion to flip over his hole card. He stopped, and then asked if we wanted insurance, remembering he forgot.

Of course I took the insurance, only one at the table. Was a neutral count :) Ah miss that guy.

I've had that experience too. Dealer shows an ace and accidentally exposed a ten hole card because he forgot to ask for insurance. The pit boss was called over and he gave all the players the option to take insurance. Obviously every player took insurance. What do you know, the dealer had a blackjack!

On the subject of dumb dealers, when a player was surrendering 16 v. 9, the dealer preceded to ask--doubtfully I might add--the table if one was allowed to surrender against a 9.

The table quickly corrected her saying that one could surrender against any card. Even though it was a silly question, she quickly took the word of the table and didn't bother to call a floor person.

I probably could have asked her to deal down to the last card, and she wouldn't have notified a floor-person.
