ya, u have more skill than me with counting then.. the problem is i dont have the bankroll to vary my bets, thus i can only flat bet the table minimum.. what im planning on doing is to bet only when the running count is positive, and to have less than 10 indexes based on a loose true count until i can get better at the true countsagefr0g said:

I have done that many times. Mostly when a player has lost several hands in a row, usually drawing cards. You get to where you expect them to bust and then they don't; you reach before you even realize what the final total was. Same with when they win several hands in a row, or I have busted repeatedly then don't. Sometimes we are dealing in our sleep, we're making our grocery list in our head, trying to figure out how many more tables to hit before the end of day, what's for lunch in the cafeteria, what's the date, did I miss mom's birthday? Sometimes we just aren't paying attention to your cards.sagefr0g said:i've also noticed that often a dealer will be reaching for my chips even before she has seen my final card drawn or seen her final card. do dealers have a conscious sense of how the hand is going to go? what say ye Mr. or Ms. Walrus?

Don’t worry, they rarely give correct advice. :grin:Munkeebby said:
I LOVE dealers like that. :gaga: Some people look through the entire casino to find a dealer that has "checked out" early to play against. It's a boring job, and that works in favor of the player quite often.Munkeebby said:
Dealing in their sleep, that pretty much sums up every single dealer at my local casino at 4am. They look absolutely aweful, like they have have been up for a week without sleep. It's like playing with zombies, they are constantly accidently dropping cards (playing with the shoe, so it doesn't effect the game) dropping the occasional chip (CHIP DOWN!) and they get even more inattentive when you strike up a conversation with them, cards go flying everywhere!Munkeebby said:
My experiences with this and speaking with many dealers is yes. Proving it is another matter... but I consider it to be like a subconcious form of card sequencing or shuffle tracking. The more automated a dealer becomes in his job his shuffle will be more exact and thus trackable. The memory will log every card played in a shoe, it's just not capable of recalling that information. But after a few hundred hands with the same number of people at the table a pattern will develop and your concious mind could begin to identify what card will come next based on knowledge of your personal shuffle and the previous shoe. To make the info usable there has to be some kind of key that triggers the memory. For intance maybe you see a hand that takes 5 two of clubs in a row. After the next shuffle when the dealer sees a two of clubs he may be able to instinctively know that because he rifs the cards twice, in exactly four cards he will see another two of clubs.sagefr0g said:
perhaps your being sarcastic, but from a number of your posts, i am jumping to the conclusion that you are not fully aware of all the blackjack/gambling fallacies.. blackjack is not a team game, nobody can affect your chances of winning except you, which includes "messing up the shoe", "making the wrong move", etc.. this is what frustrates me so much because logic would say that if 99/100 people say something is true, then it most likely is, but that is not the case with gambling; it gets even weirder, as you would then assume that most gamblers must be stupid, but a lot of gamblers are decently smart in real life, but in gambling believe in stupid stuff, for instance my dad is a very smart person, and believes that gambling is all about "predicting streaks" which is the dumbest thing ive ever heard.. im rambling here, but anyways, the 3rd baseman that "beat you" had a 50/50 shot at hurting you, as did all the other players, thus everything cancels outBashful C.

I very much agree with Canceler. I hate dealers who think they know what I'm going to do. The other day I was playing heads up and had an A,8 vs a 6, and before I could even lift me hand to double she had already played her cards.... pissed me off. Dealers should always wait for a signal from the players. On the flip side, players should be quick with their decisions. It upsets me just as much to see players sitting their chatting or otherwise ignoring the game and slowing everything down.Canceler said:
