From the Grand muckity muck
This superstition or religious belief of losing blackjack players (take your choice, I believe it is religion) is based upon the same idea that people going in and out at a table, or someone going from 1 hand to 2 and then back to one or in this case someone taking the so called dealers bust card, all goes to the All Powerful Mythical Mystical Magical All Knowing Flow Of The Cards.
The key word in the above overly long sentence is mythical!
There is no powerful force that puts the cards (legally anyway) in a specified order that will either make the players or the casino win. Dr. Jacobsons book, The Blackjack Zone will help you get over these superstitions and then you will understand that those other players who yell, give strange looks or run from the table when someone does something they do not like, are people who constantly donate their money to the casino's profits.
Something else that you might not know yet: If you just play basic strategy, it is guaranteed that there will be many times you will be the person who others think messed up the Mystical Flow of the Cards. Just do something basic like double A,7 vs dealer 3-6 or split your 9,9 vs dealer 2-6,8,9 and if things go against the table, you just might hear about it. If things go well, it is just forgotten.
It is 2 things:
1. People have selective memory and tend to remember things that hurt them.
2. People tend to look for someone else to blame for their misfortune
Remember, unlike another falsehood that these players will say to you. Blackjack is definately not a team sport. You are not a team against the dealer, it is you against that dealer.
If blackjack were a team game, your teammates would be covering your losses and expecting a share of your wins. When that happens, then you are on a team.
