So I was playing online blackjack the other day at one of the more ordinary casino sites pasted on my desktop. As the dealer gave the cards while I was expected to decide upon the extra third or forth hit, I finally understood how many lucky factors take hold in this game. I guess that the land based casino doesn’t make it as apparent as you feel more pressured to act fast. I took my time with the online casino version and realized that at least 60 percent of my failed efforts wouldn’t have ended any other way if I was to choose a fourth hit or alternatively stay with my third, or second.
Consider this: You get a sum of 13, the dealer stands on 4, you decide upon an extra card which of course exceeds an 8, the dealer at the mean time continues although no matter what he does, he is most likely to pass the 13 mark. The bottom line is that even if I had decided on staying on my pathetic 13, it wouldn’t have changed my odds one bit. After a series of a dozen examples just like that, I decide its not my day and thank God it was only a dollar bet per game lost… What can I say – I’m what you a call a sensible player (-:
