For those who play Blackjack regularly. Have you ever noticed:
When the dealer hand shows a 7 as their up card on the initially 2 cards, the dealer almost never has a 10 card underneath to make it a 17?
How is the dealer so lucky to seldom bust by getting a 10 card when they have 12-16, yet when hands I am dealt in that range and I take a hit, it more often than not is dealt a 10 for a bust?
The dealer gets a lot of 21’s if the dealer cards are 2 7’s and they draw another 7?
The dealer also gets 21 frequently if they get 2 Aces in a row which brings their total to 15 or 16. Next card is a 6 or 5 for 21?
I have won my share of coins playing BJ so I am not expressing that, but these are quirks I have noticed and just wonder if anyone else has also? If you have, what strategy do you use to alter the game play?
Let’s just say …the dealer is very very lucky. A few things I have noticed… She NEVER bust on a 2 up card (and usually ends up turning that into 21). I treat a 2 like it is a face card. Same goes with a 6.
If a dealer has an Ace up card, the down card most frequently is: 1) a face card for a BJ, 2) a 9 or 3) another A that she turns in 21.
Just know … she does go in streaks with the streak mostly being her winning, But if you can put up with always playing against a face card (soooo boring!) … the player can go on win streaks too.
But I love Blackjack. The only game I play at a real casino. I just really wish they would take away those comments of “Ouch” “Sorry” and “maybe next time” … drives me nuts.
