Blackjack, the bad


Recommended Posts

I am wondering if anyone else likes to keep track of how bad of blackjack runs they go on? I have been on an extremely EXTREMELY bad run lately and would like to share the numbers while sharing the hand odds

  • BJ, 4.8%
  • hard standing 17-20, 30%
  • decision hands (12-16) 38.7%
  • no bust 2-11, 26.5%
  • and dealer bust odds, 28.36%

 

i just had a session of 21 hands, the dealer had SIX aces (including 3 in a row to start) the chances of getting any card is 7.69% so for them to get SIX aces...yea, you do the math. on the upside they had also had six 6s, by now you're thinking alright nice way to balance it out...5 of those 6 the dealers second card was a 5. 5 OUT OF 6 the dealer flipped a 5, how astronomically small of a chance is that to happen? there was also a 4 where they flipped a 7....so thats 13 hands out of 21 where the dealer had an 11, how many did i have in those 21 hands? a whopping total of 1. needless to say i lost something like 15 out of 21 hands. lets also not forget the 2 hands where the dealer had a 10 up and flipped an ace as their second card...! also in these 21 hands, if you look at the odds chart, 30% chance to get a hard standing 17-20 or 34.8% if you factor in a BJ, well in those 21 hands I had 3 hard standing hands, none of which were BJ  BUT i had 14 yes 14 decision hands!!!!! the dealer had virtually the polar opposite of this (well sort of...they had lots of soft hands since 6 aces!!!!) another astronomically small odds from this is my first card was a 10 or ace only twice in those 21 hands....and the dealer got 3 aces in a row to start....

 

the second thing i wanted to rant about is the lack of busting by the dealer...my worst run was 4 times the dealer busted in 48 hands, including 12 times in a row where they didnt bust on 16 the % to bust on 16 is 61.5%

 

i try to play for fun, but this online live casino....it just feels like something is not right. i have had very very few good runs, and in all honesty the only time i seem to be profiting is when im hitting side bets....i do not mind losing, its how im losing that is the source of this rant, and seeing as i have an obsession with numbers, i like to count and keep track. i typically play twice a week, i have not profited in more than a month now and can't even remember the last time i won 3 hands in a row.

land based casinos can't reopen soon enough here in Canada

Careful dude, I’ve lost tens of thousands on BJ before I had to ban myself from table games. Between that and roulette I’m easily down 100k in the last ten years 

yea im about ready to give up on blackjack for good, 12 more hands tonight, lost 9 of 12, and these are 2 back to back hands, this is the luck im dealing with, lose with back to back 20s against a dealers 6, including a double down. i did hit suited trips however, but with losing 9 of 12 main hands that barely gave me profit...and the dealer once again had 20 or 21 in half the hands (6 of 12), i dont understand how this is happening every time i play.

Tell me about it, i used to win alot with blackjack, well atleast not 10 loses in row cause thats whats happening right now,
Blackjack has changed alot, its so hard to win right now, something is not right, if i show you my BJ history you will know what im talking about.
Whenever i play, no matter what i do, its 8-9 times of 10 a lose and dealer is having 18-19-20-21 and they dont bust that much anymore.
