losing 10 hands in a row..

[21gunsalute]

Played on an automatic shuffler again a couple days ago. Played for 3 straight hours and couldn't lose 6 hands in a row no matter what. automatic shufflers = very good for my system.

Did you want to lose 6 hands in a row? You played a whole 3 hours and are basing your "theory" on 3 hours play? Hey it's like I said, there weren't any card counters to screw up the flow and the rest of the ploppies ate up the bad cards. I don't know how could you not figure that out on your own since you have everything else figured out.

Where yellow stands for "a modicum of intelligence," red stands for "stupidity," and blue stands for "deliberately allowing oneself to be cheated," simplify the following with one word or object:

You posted in January that the Hard Rock cheated you.
You posted in May that they cheated you again.
Now you say you went back and lost last week? Why would any person with a modicum of intelligence continue to play where they know they are being cheated?

They have recently started showing cards before opening the tables in the high limit area. So I started to play there again.

You want to go lose 10 or more hands in a row? Go Play at the hardrock Casino in Ft lauderdale!!! Tell Me if you have ever seen this the Dealer having Blackjack 7 times in a ROW. And 21, 11 straight times in a row. I have seen it all there. Played there last week the dealer had 19 or above every hand in the 8 deck shoe. Amazing!!! And in one shoe made a hand with 6cards twice in one shoe, the odds of that happening are very high!!!

I got three blackjacks in a row. On a single deck game. On the same shuffle. I guess the casino was cheating themselves.

Not sure if mikeinjersey is talking about an Automatic Shuffling Machine, which I would assume since he used the word automatic...but if it is a CSM, then there is merit. A CSM is better than an ASM, or a hand shuffled shoe for that matter.

The answer is maroon. In the example given there is not a modicum of intelligence to be found anywhere.

Cheaters cheat. It's in their nature to cheat. If you believe they are cheats, why in the world would you continue to engage them in play? Maybe they have had too many complaints, so they have switched to a different way to cheat.

I know a card shark. View attachment 7005 If he stopped marking cards, should I then consent to play cards with him? :whip:

Maybe deep down you suspect that you are being overly paranoid, but rather than blame yourself for losing, you have ascribed the blame to them. That's the only reason I can imagine you would return to the cheater's game, unless maybe the rush of gambling is overwhelming to you. In the latter case, you should definitely seek professional help.

Please explain your rational behind this statement.

Some believe that the lack of cut card effect makes up for the increased hands per hour, among other things

It lowers the house edge obviously. At a full CSM table, one could expect to find a slower game then certain shoe tables.

 

[fubster]

maybe if you're at a CSM table full of people who are really high, but otherwise that's just wrong

Or people who don't know what they're doing, or a slow dealer, etc. It isn't difficult to find.

 

[fubster]

i mean okay sure but you realize that when a shuffle takes like 3-5min it's pretty much always going to be slower on average right?

Isn't it a very slight change in HE? I cannot see how it could offset the increased hands per hour, all other things being equal.

What about a table in which players can play behind? Combine that with that specific table being the lowest stakes available, meaning it's always full. Under normal circumstances I agree with you. All I'm saying is there is situations you can find where the very minimal decrease in HE can be brought into play.

The cut card effect removal is trivial, especially in relation to the increased hands/hr. However, a flat betting basic strategy player is far better off playing a $10 CSM than a $25 shoe, and is probably better off with a full $10 CSM than a 3 way $10 shoe.

A flat betting basic strategy player is better off not playing at all. :whip:
