why do some blackjack games make you wait forever between hands?
Some blackjack tables just drag and it kills me, especially when you’re at a table with only a couple of players but you’re still waiting forever between hands. I get it if the table is packed or the dealer’s new and slow, but I’ve had online sessions too where the shuffle or auto-deal just pauses for no reason. Makes me wonder if it’s some behind-the-scenes delay or they just want us sitting there longer for psychological reasons.
I find it totally breaks any rhythm and takes some of the edge off card counting, or just trying to go with a streak. You’d think the sites or the pit bosses would want faster hands so more bets get laid down. Anyone else run into this? Is there some logic behind making us wait, or is it just bad software or poor floor management?
If you’ve played live roulette on bet365, you’ll notice payout delays pop up there too, not just blackjack. Sometimes I wonder if it’s tied to regulatory checks or servers lagging behind. I keep a notepad handy to jot win/loss streaks when it drags, helps keep my head straight.
sometimes those gaps help you reset and not chase. in roulette, short breaks stop tilt from taking over. try using the pause to map out your next two bets, color code options if you’re a visual thinker. keeps your bankroll decisions sharper instead of drifting impulsively.
those delays actually do nuke momentum, and as a poker guy i’ll say rhythm matters even more when you’re managing risk or exploiting streaks. online, the lag is often baked into live dealer formats - think about netbet’s clunky single-camera setups, which slow everything. in person, sometimes it’s deliberate to curb card counters, but online it’s usually just bad software or bandwidth throttling. if you can, try switching to power blackjack or auto-table versions where you control deal speed. forces the site to keep pace with you, not the other way around.
