Blackjack players that mouthoff to me

[robzilla]

What is up with people getting mouthy to me when I dont take a card?
Ill hit on 12 or 13, but most of the time i dont take a card on 14,15,or 16.
If i dont take a card, Mind your business! before I knock you the eff out!

They are pissed off that a moron like you is taking up a square.

[BurtRapp]

How the F can you win if you don't even play basic strategy??? Your a square your a loser and I 'm one of the guys that will be beating your ass at the tables.

[xstud]

I once learned very early in my life that 14, 15 and 16 sure the hell don't beat 17 or higher which the dealer must hit to.

[Quebb Diesel]

give me some black jack pointers...im gonna be in vegas thurs through monday!!!

[purecarnagge]

Depends on the situation if you think the dealer is going to hit and have to hit again and bust hopefully, that will be good for you. But as far as reguarly staying at 14,15,16 thats not good.

You cant win if you bust!
Atleast you are still in the game if you dont take a card.

[xstud]

As they always say.... I would rather go down swinging then stand with the bat resting on my shoulder

You ain't gonna win with 14 standing against a 10 either 3/4 of the time anyway, you will need the dealer to both have a 2-6 5/12 chance (b/c already checked for ace) AND to then hit a bust card which varies 2-6 (the best being a 6 which would still leave a 5/13 chance of you losing) HIT THAT 14 IN OTHER WORDS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GIVE THE CASINO YOUR MONEY (it's hard enough to win employing basic strategy don't make it any harder by employing some scared of busting strategy)

If you are not already employing any proven strategy, the above link will save you a lot of money and in many casinos will bring you within 0.5% of breaking even. If you can learn a very basic card counting system, depending on the house rules, you can expect to make a small profit in the long run.



PS Every casino I have been to (Atlantic City and various Canadian Casinos) allows a person to use a basic strategy card. In other words, cut the card out on the link and bring it with you. In my experience I have found 4 benefits to having the card there:
1) The players at the table perceive me as a beginner (which I am not) and don't give me much flak about "taking the dealers bust card" etc. because they know I am simply following the card. They will blame the card instead of me.
2) The dealers and pit bosses also "seem" to take me for a newbie. I count cards well but having to look at the card gives me an extra second or two to process my count better as well as making the correct play (i.e. no mistakes). A word of warning: the dealers/pit bosses might try and give you "their" strategy card. Thank them gratefully, keep it handy, and do NOT use it.
3) I make a bit of money (usually about 3-4 units an hour if the dealer is going through 100+ hands).
4) I am almost always the last person standing. I might start at a table with 100 units, betting 1-3 units a hand depending on the count and 9 times out of 10, after 8+ hours I have seen 50 people come and go and maybe there is one person who has lasted half as long as I have.

Good luck in Vegas Quebb.

man i am a professional blackjack player and you are 100% right

everyone plays basic strategy and they all lose

When you bust you might as well play blackjack with yourself because thats all you just did. One of the houses advantages is that they make u make the first move. Hey you get 15 and 12's all the time. Its not insane to think the dealer has a 5 under that queen.

Another thing. say you have a 12. and the dealer is showing a king. the book says hit. Everyone is assuming the dealer has a 20. So the only card that is going to beat that 20 is a 9. Your hitiing to get a 9. thats for suckers. Yes you can hit it occasionally but i think my point shows why sometimes you dont hit it

one more thing. if someone has a 10 or 11 they double down and hope for a 10. Thats because they play the game based on 10's. But if these peole have a 13 they hit???????? Well what makes u think ur gonna get a 10 on a 10 or 11 and not a 13. Thats just stupid to me. If ur gonna play the game based on getting a 10 ona double down why do you think ur god and are not going get a 10 on a thirteen.

You keep doing what ur doing cuz i assure you no one at the table is making a living playing blackjack.

i love being the only winner at the table. also i dont even sit down. I play 1-5 hands, make a killing and run. If i got 5000 on a hand and i got a 13 against a queen. I am staying. No way i am gonna hit and hope for an 8 (the only card that will beat the assumed 20). Cuz i'll bust and my 5000 is gone. I'd rather wait for the dealer to bust. If they dont watch the next card out of the shoe. It prolly wouldnt have won it for you anyways

[dodif]

okay.... so when you have 15 or 14 and the dealer is showing 8, and you dont hit and the table lays into you....what do you say to them?

[Quebb Diesel]

right on video review...ive never been into casino games but i might blow a couple hundo and see how it goes...i really wish football was up b/c id act a fool in the sport rooms...but hopefully i can get hot in the playoffs and bases this weekend...i might just go big on favs and unders the way the playoffs have been going! are there limits on parlays out there?

[5 star bomb]

okay.... so when you have 15 or 14 and the dealer is showing 8, and you dont hit and the table lays into you....what do you say to them?

you are a fucking moron if you dont hit a 14 or 15 with the dealer showing an 8. Dont play blackjack if you dont play the right way. We dont need assholes like you changing up the cards and playing like a complete jackass

[dodif]

**** off, i do this for a living

any good player plays by himself or two man a dealer

No-one is assuming that the dealer has a 20.

It just so happens that you are statistically better off taking a card in that situation. If you can statistically prove otherwise then I'd be very interested to hear.

one more thing. if someone has a 10 or 11 they double down and hope for a 10. Thats because they play the game based on 10's. But if these peole have a 13 they hit????????

See answer above.

There's a homeless guy that lives in a dumpster nearby named dodif....never made the connection before but he does have an old laptop

Here's my nomination for Post of the Week.

I've never been to Vegas but maybe someone else here can advise you on parlay limits. I only play blackjack when I am at the casino's I've been to so I don't know about the sports side at all.

[HAPPY BOY]

i try to play in the bigger minimum tables I.E 25 or above, I find I usually win with a table who's players play basic stategy. if u got a 2 against a dealers 7 or above take a fvcking hit. if the dealer shows a power card .7 or over and u go0t a 12 or above.... Take a hit. Its not your money when u r playig with other people on the table. If u are Kreskin then ok otherwise..PLAY BASIC STATEGY A_HOLE!

[purecarnagge]

yeah, sometimes getting to 15 or 16 and staying is a good enough deal if there are others are the table to make the dealer hit and bust.

[robzilla]

Dude u are an A Hole!
hitting in this situation is gonna bust you more than 50% of the time, plus there is still odds on the dealer busting.
I dont play for other people.... I play for me. So go eff yourself.

Do you gamble for others? Other players at the table arent going to give you the money that they win.

[Kellen]

You are obviously a terrible blackjack player. I dont blame these guys for getting pissed at you. Im suprised you havent gotten your ass kicked.

[Kellen]

I hope you arent gonna be at the bash. I'll have to make sure Im nowhere near you at the tables.

[robzilla]

The thing is that I win, but in the process others at the table lose.

[robzilla]

Im going to play at every table, and make everyone lose. wooooooooooooooo!

[Kellen]

You have just been very lucky. You cannot win like that for an extended period of time. Its like laying -130 on every game you bet

[bettilimbroke999]

How could you stand on 14, win, and the other players lose? Doesn't make any sense (dealer has to bust for you to win, would be a win for everyone). Clearly you're a terrible blackjack player that is just mad that everyone at the table gets pissed off b/c you not only lose your money by playing scared shitless of busting but theirs as well

[ChuteBoxe]

There's two types of people I hate when I'm playing blackjack...

1. Players who jump in mid-shoe multiple times. (ex. They play 3-4 hands, leave the table, go to the table next to us, come back, play another 3-4 hands, go to another table, come back again, etc..). I don't mind if you do it once or twice, especially if you're playing with big money. You're entitled to do what you want if you're playing the table max, imho. I just hate when people bounce back and forth 4-5 times, and they're playing $50 a hand. It screws everyone that's winning at the time.

2. Players that look out for their own interests instead of the interests of the other people at the table. If you want to be a douche, find a dealer with an empty table and play 1 on 1. If everyone at the table is smart enough to play basic blackjack strategy, I personally feel everyone at that table has a better shot at winning. Nothing worse than someone sitting at 3rd base, who has 14, and won't hit with the dealer showing a 6. Then he/she pulls a 3 to get 19 and everyone loses. Meanwhile, the first card next time around is a king.
