    How bad can bad luck get? (Blackjack)
    How about a max bet count, for four hands in a row? And I caught all 20's including doubles and splits, for four hands in a row. And the dealer caught 21's, for four hands in a row. So I'm sitting there with the crumbs of my playing stake, the count is still +EV so I'm still in the...


    How about a max bet count, for four hands in a row?

    And I caught all 20's including doubles and splits, for four hands in a row.

    And the dealer caught 21's, for four hands in a row.

    So I'm sitting there with the crumbs of my playing stake, the count is still +EV so I'm still in the game, splitting my bet up to prolong my suffering like a pathetic, sick gambler would, won a few small bets, then on the last two hands of the shoe, the 21 vs. 20 game is repeated, and I leave the casino, literally, without a dollar in my pocket, ploppies howling at me like I had just dropped napalm on their village.

    I'll tell you, if somehow I were to have foreknowledge that I would ever have a year like this again, I would never play again. The only good thing is I would have to live to be 300 to be statistically likely to see it again.

    I was so pissed the other week about a bad run I pulled seven cards on a hand to make 21... couldn't believe it and the guy next to me said he once saw a guy pull 8 cards.

      Four hands isn't very many. I have seen streaks much longer both ways.

        I've seen some amazing streaks both ways.
