do live dealer games have better odds or same as normal ones
Whenever I play blackjack on live dealer compared to the standard RNG ones, I get the feeling that the odds shift a bit - like the pacing changes, and maybe even the shuffling methods make some kind of difference? With the RNG games, it’s basically a fresh shuffle every hand, but live dealer seems to actually use a physical shoe, and sometimes you can see them change out decks. I try to keep my blackjack strategy tight either way but sometimes wonder if it really matters or if it’s mostly psychological.
Same thing with live roulette - there’s that whole ritual of spinning the wheel, watching the croupier, etc, and I swear my win streaks go on longer there than with virtual roulette. Might just be confirmation bias, but still. Has anyone dug into stats or real numbers on this? Been trying to recalibrate the way I play but it’s hard to tell what’s actually shifting the odds, or if it’s all in my head.
