Why does it seem that dealers have an easier time not busting on small numbers. ie, a 12 for a dealer is a lethal hand, they have all sorts of ways to get close to 21 without busting. But when the player hits on 12, they bust far more.
I cant even count the amount of times a dealer with 16 gets 18 or 19 by hitting, which is almost an automatic bust for the player. It just seems, that the player busting first is not the only advantage the dealer has, they also dont bust as often as we do when they do have to hit.
To me that has been the biggest difference, if the dealer doesnt bust on the small numbers, you have no chance.
This onservation may be dismissed as bs, but it seems very real to me. Land based casinos are bad, but not THAT bad.
as far as basic strategy, can that really aplly to online blackjack. It's not a real deck, it's simulated, your playing basic strategy based on probablities of cards being dealt, but since the cards are generated by computer, there is no real deck to speak of.
Not sure basic strategy works the same.
