Getting blackjack after lowering your bet is painful

Hello all, I had one of those runs where I cut my bet down for a hand and of course that was the one that got blackjack. Then when I put it back up the next hands were all junk, just dead cards. I know people say thats just variance but it…

What's your worst dealer comeback ever?

Had one last night that annoyed me more than a bad beat. Dealer was dead on a bust card, pulled small, then another small, then hit the exact card to make it, and after that did the same thing next hand when i had a decent double out. It wa…

Slower blackjack tables

I end up doing better on the slower blackjack tables, even if they're a bit boring compared with the fast ones. On the quick tables I start playing hands I would skip if I had another few seconds to look at it. Not even big crazy plays, jus…
