Lol ya that’s definitely a interrupted session.
The mountain is tall but grass grows on top of the mountain.
SOOPOO

My mind may well be playing tricks on me. For over a decade, blackjack supplied an income that paid my bills. I don't have many bills.
The goal was 20 sessions per week and win 4 more than I lose. Very doable. And confirmed with CV Data Sims. But I would stop playing once bills were paid for the month.
The months leading up to covid was 77 wins 61 loss 42 ties 94 interruptions. The glaring number was the interruptions.
So I upped my game in June to requesting a $50 table. 4 wins 13 losses 4 ties and 6 interruptions. I was playing under a microscope and suffering the worst month ever losing $4,663.
I waited until January. It wasn't comfortable playing with all the stuff going on. I continued to study and work on my game as usual. I dropped
back to $25 tables because requesting $50 seemed to create unrest. 1 win 10 losses 2 ties and 4 Interruptions.
The two months combined resulted in a loss of $7500. The alarming stat is in just 2300 hands. I don't chase.
That's an average of $3 per hand. I compete hard to make $1 per hand.
So I will put the ball back in your court. Is this variance?
Also, I constantly break with 12. Dealers outperforms me with blackjack about 8 to 1.
Bottom line is I still have to make the first move.
Prior covid, dealer didn't know if I had a 20 Or 16. Now they know. If I hit? Im dealt a ten and break. If I double? I get a low card. When a dealer hits? The make the hand without breaking.

. I just for a second thought this was a serious post until you got me with ‘dealer outperforms me with blackjack about 8-1.’ In 2300 hands both the dealer and player would be expected to get around 100 blackjacks. Are you saying the dealer got like 120 to your 15? I’m guessing that likelihood is like rolling 18..... never mind....

Play this game for a twist on regular blackjack rules. You will give up the 10's in the deck in exchange from some very liberal rules when you play Barcelona 21 Video Blackjack from Grand Virtual CIDC.

You were spot on about the number of places no longer offering 3.2 blackjack after covid. How did you know?

  1. Welcome to the wonderful world of online Blackjack, also known as “21”, at online casino India. If you are new to the game or just want to brush up on how to play, you have come to the right place. Keep reading to learn all about Blackjack Rules.

  3. The rules of blackjack are simple. You are dealt cards, which have the face value shown on them. You need to get a hand with a score of as close to 21 as possible, without going over it.

Really? Reno has gone all or mostly 6:5? I am sorry to hear that but not surprised. Is this just for single deck or other games as well? Has there been a reduction in your single deck games and a move towards shoe game? (6 deck or double)
I have thought Reno would move away from Single deck 3:2 long before Covid came to be. It is just that Reno is the last place to offer that. a few other small towns in Nevada, but no where else. It is sort of a dinosaur. Why wouldn't they move to either 6:5 or just away from single deck like everyone else. Higher house edges.
One answer would be that is what made Reno novel, so they hung on for longer than expected. But eventually that casino mentality comes about as to what can we do to increase house edge. Covid probably just provided the cover to do it, to make up for lost revenue.
Here in Vegas, what we are seeing is more of the stadium blackjack type games. That is where there is one live dealer and anywhere from 20 to 50 (maybe 100 in Pa) individual terminals. All of the Station casinos installed it. Players aren't really gravitating towards it yet, but that is because the casinos remain empty. Once things get back to normal they will be able to raise limits on the real tables, doing away with anything under $25, or $50, sending all the lower level players to the stadium blackjack, which is continuous shuffle machine.

I really think this is the kind of thing where selective memory comes into play. And that is not a poke at Moses. It happens to all of us. Things just seem to be worse or occur more than they really do. If you could go back and hit 'replay', you could see that. This is particularly strong when things are running bad.

Do you think that this trend will also mean more scrutiny of the remaining live tables? I have avoided anything more than $15 because 1) $25 is too high a start for my purposes, especially whe the count rises to +4, which is when you REALLY want to be out there, and 2) I assume there is more heat at a $25 or $50 table. But if $25 is the new $10, then will the heat be less since it's the new 'low-roller table?'
Also, since you are a regular player -
My guess is that technology will sooner or later make counting impossible. No longer are there catwalks and binoculars. Cameras are so cheap that there can be one pointed at every individual seat, and video surveillance cameras can probably record every bet and correlate it to the count, flagging any even slightly counter-like programatically. If your play is flagged such that a real human is notified about it, well, your day or career is over.

Thank you for that ,lovely thought about my career being over. lol You know players have been thinking since the 1960's that card counting opportunities would end, first with all the books, and lately with the advances in technology working against us, including not only surveillance but the databases and companies that just work THAT angle. We will see how it plays out. I think we have SOME time left. For now, I am just happy we have a little blackjack discussion. Isn't this nice and unexpected. :)

Casino Barcelona Blackjack Rules How To Play


And if and or when it comes to an end, I will have had a good run, and move on to the next thing, whether that be something in advantage play or something completely unrelated.

8 to 1. I have a way of keeping track. I play a session which is 16 decks or about 100 hands. I get 1 blackjack and dealer has 8 Or certainly far more than me. But 120-15 would be different because I was beat by the 3rd or 4th deck. Point being, dealer is getting a helluva lot more than me than normal. I would say prior it was 50-50 as it should be. No?
Downtown is almost non existent now. I think Silver Legacy offers 3.2 but at 5 rounds. El Dorado made the most drastic changes after covid. Harrahs is gone. Circus no longer plays. GSR, Atlantis, and Peppermill offer 3.2 single decks. Not sure about the smaller places. Some stopped altogether.

You playing single deck have not experienced the kind of variance I have. Maybe, just maybe it caught up to you at this unusual time, But that said, you should so what you can to rule out cheating
personally, I have never liked the handheld games because of the possibilities of dealing seconds and such. It also isn't what I learned in Atlantic Cities, so I have always gravitated towards the shoe games. Even most double deck games that I play are dealt from a shoe, although I do play a few handheld. But if for whatever reason, imaginary or real, I am uncomfortable with some results, I stop playing that game until I can prove or convince myself it is all.. [/

Good advice. Got me back to basics. I've never quite grasp the concept of dealing seconds. Are they dealing the 2nd card as opposed to the top card? Or are they dealing from the bottom of the deck?

Casino Barcelona Blackjack Rules Card Game

Hello moses. As you are acting in a civil manner, I'll respond.
Dealing seconds is dealing the second card from the top. If the dealer is expert (and I know one former dealer who is and did some demos for me outside the casino) it is impossible to spot by watching his hands. The way to tell is my the sound of the cards being dealt. There is a distinct sound when dealing a second (a click of sorts) vs. the top card. Another clue is watch how he holds the deck. At some point, he will tilt the cards and very subtlety slide edge of the second card out so he can read its index.
I haven't checked, but as just about everything can be found there, there are likely some youtube videos demonstrating this.
