    Most confusing thing ever...

    I've been steadily beating live BJ at SIA.

    I'm running cold for the first half of the shoe but the last quarter is hot. I'm raising my bets, the shoe is dwindling.

    I'm playing the first two holes, I get 11 and 10 facing a dealer 6. I obviously double both. I receive a 6 and 8 respectively.

    The guy playing the last two holes who hasn't shown any donkey play gets 14 and soft 13. He hits on 14 receiving a 3 but then STANDS on soft 13?!?!?!?

    Dealer draws to 16 and then finishes off with a 3 for 19.

    -$2000



    Next two cards dealt are a 5 then a 10.

    Now I'm not one for conspiracy theories but limiting me in the casino doesn't get them their money back... this does.

    With every single individual card bar-coded, I'm positive there's a way to scan the shoes. Some minion has the info and is fetched on big winners to screw them.

    It would make sense financially; the 'minion' spent less than an hour playing with me and recouped $2400.

    Like I said, I'm not one for conspiracy theories but the guy's play in the last holes is absolutely insane.

    Could have been a simple misclick.

    Yes, two mistakes.

    But if you're going to play wrong in that situation, you typically either hit both or stand both. Not mix and match but with the wrong plays?

    People make retarded plays in blackjack all the time.

    With that said, it wouldn't surprise me if online 'live' blackjack had sheeps who knew the cards.

    if he plays by the book, he stands on 14. then he hits soft 13, gets a 3. hits soft 16, gets the 3 the dealer got. dealer gets the 5. dealer has 21.
