anyone ever see a blackjack table where the dealer busts constantly?
Last night I was at a smaller local spot just killing some time before a poker tourney, and the blackjack table was seriously weird. Dealer was busting like four out of every six hands, and I’m not exaggerating. This went on for a full shoe, not just a streak. People were cleaning up and I saw the pit boss looking over more than once.
I know variance is a thing, but I’ve never seen it swing that hard in the players’ favor for that long. Usually I’m happy if I get out even, but it seemed almost too good to be true. Not sure if maybe the cards were just super clumped or if something was actually off with their shuffle or what. Curious if anyone else has run into this kind of night.
I’ve seen one or two live dealer runs like that online, especially on free bet blackjack when the cards get “sticky” after a sloppy shuffle. It’s rare but real. Usually the pit boss leans in if something’s genuinely off, but clusters do happen, even if it feels scripted.
