Several weeks ago a dealer advised that we shouldn't follow basic strategy because... It was invented by organized crime to make their casinos more profitable!

And we willingly pay respect to such respectable people! LOL

Its done pretty well for there publishing companies as well.
Have you ever read some of the "expert" advice sages such as Scarne were selling pre-Thorpe?
I have counted to infinity. Twice
years ago i thought one should ask the dealer for advice........after hearing remarks like "that's an 18 there pal that Ace and 7,you sure you wanna hit that?.............i learned most dealers know how to deal,some dealers know how to play the game.

I wish you could have been there when I hit my twelve (10,2) against the dealer's 4. (Renzey's Dr. Pepper rule) The dealer really got all bent out of shape!
it always just amazes me that dealers don't read an excellent book like Blackjack Bluebook II and as quick as possible get themselves on the other side of the table! what gives????

I have never met a dealer who said they ever played on the other side of the table-
I have, and if they play like they say they play, they're serious losers!Originally Posted by WILLIAM
A lot of dealers play too! They just don't play where they work! As a former dealer turned pro gambler. I can tell yiu the money is better playing then dealing if you know what you are doing and take advantage of well set up shoe!Originally Posted by WILLIAM
Once I heard a dealer don't hit 16 vs an ace this is horrible advice it cost you an average of 15% by doing this! I consider anything that you gain or lose ten percent or more to be major in this game! The dealer will only bust 12% of the time with an ace showing! Others will give you good basic stragedy advice like double against a dealer 5 when you have an 11. But this is just the most obvious advice! some dealers are not allowed to give basic stragedy advice so they might give you no advice or bad advice!
