      Winning 10 hands in a row? At SBR Casino? It ain't going to happen. As much as I have played BJ in the past. I have never won 10 in a row.

          Roughly a .065% chance of doing this. Or 16,000-1.

          gl to those who attempt it

          probably better off playing the lottery

                      John ran a promo for anyone who loses 10 in a row, playing perfect strategy. That was a lot easier to do than this will be.

                        I see why it's called April fools contest, because the joke's on us. Considering letting the 10 ride for 10 in a row would get you 10,000.

                                            if someone does it will be luck,

                                            Someone with alot of points could do it because at 1 point a pop, its bound to happen once

                                              10 point minimum bet. I think they thought of your strategy.

                                                warrior, try reading the first post.

                                                If it allowed 1 point bets, of course I'd try it.

                                                    Are pushes completely ignored (ie don't count as a lose as well) or does the 10 wins have to exclude both losing hands and pushes?

                                                      Points only to the first 20 who do it?

                                                      What's the o/u that 20 ppl will do it, I'll take the under for as much $ I can lay my hands on.

                                                        Over/under on people to complete this task 7

                                                        Over/under on points lost by those trying 75,000 (probably not even near close)

                                                          Yeah, I seriously doubt even 10 people manage to do this, let alone 20.

                                                            This got me thinking, so I logged into the SBR casino to play a little blackjack.

                                                            Lost 10 in a row in the first 20 hands

                                                              This is just an attempt to get people with lots of points to lose those points playing blackjack
