What’s your usual blackjack bet size?
$25 is 16 starting bets on $400, and a rough shoe can chew through that. I’d stay at $10, maybe $15 if the swings feel manageable (I’d keep it fixed either way).

The extra pocket matters more than three 00s in 35 spins. I once stayed at a double-zero table waiting for the wheel to turn around and regretted not moving sooner (that was the mistake, not the run of 00s).
I compare the extra monthly return with what the added wagering costs, not some fixed dollar cutoff. One tier paid about $50 more a month but took roughly $3,000 more in sportsbook bets, and that extra play made it a poor deal for me.
Live bets are my pass. Put one down during a game once and flipped on it almost as soon as the next possession swung the other way. Too reactive for me to trust.
Dealer busts sit under 30% on most upcards, so a run past 3 would be the odd part.
What changes for me is seat draw, not some grand philosophy. After 12:30 in texas hold’em the pool gets so thin you’ll see the same two maniacs in 4 of 6 tables, and if one’s on your left your night gets EXPENSIVE in a hurry. That’s the bit slots folks miss. Midnight poker is part cards, part traffic pattern, and the traffic gets weird.
$30 all night, RUDE
Had a weird one happen last night during the NBA games. Had the betslip ready and odds looked good so I tapped confirm. The screen said bet accepted but when the actual ticket popped up the odds had dropped a bit from what was on the slip. Checked my history to see if I was losing my mind, but nope - worse odds than what I hit confirm on. Never had that happen before in the middle of a busy night, at least not where it didn't prompt me for an odds change first. Is this something anyone else has run into? Wondering if it's a tech glitch or just something that can happen when lines are moving fast. How do you guys handle this kind of thing?
I’m with you. French roulette just has more STABILITY to it. Same reason I drifted from blackjack when I got tired of the constant churn. Half back on zero keeps a session from turning stupid quite so fast.
