i wanted this to be a mechanic in red dead redemption 2. there is a really annoying gambling challenge where you have to hit 3 times in blackjack and win which just makes you hit on 20 hoping for an ace. it sucks as a challenge but it would have been funny if people tried to kick your rear end for doing it

what does this mean

quote:

There are certain plays in blackjack that will draw attention in the pit. “Splitting 10s,” I’ve heard the dealer call out to the pit supervisor. Or “Doubling on hard 12.”

The pit supervisor might just glance over and nod, taking note of the player making the odd move. Or the supervisor might walk over and watch the hand. Surveillance might even get in on the act. They’ll want to know if the player splitting 10s just doesn’t know or doesn’t care about basic strategy, or if he or she is a card counter who’s spotted a favorable situation.

Sometimes a play is so unusual that everybody has to see how it plays out. So it went when I found myself at the same Las Vegas table as a player determined to hit hard 17. It’s not an advanced counter’s play, just a bad one. But everybody had to watch.

It started with a player who was dealt a 9 and an 8 while the dealer had a 10 face up. The rest of the table had decent cards. No one busted. I had an 18, while there were a couple of 20s table, a 19 and two more 17s. None are guaranteed winners against a 10, but we were all in the game.

When the player signaled to hit, there were groans all around. “You have 17,” the dealer said flatly. The player nodded and signaled again. “You can’t be serious,” one 30-ish man said, while another older gent said, “You really don’t want to do that.”

He insisted he did indeed want to hit, and the dealer called out, “Player hits hard 17.”

That brought stares from other dealers and players throughout the pit, and brought two supervisors over to watch the outcome.

A 3 came out of the shoe, and now the player had 20. I laughed, others shook their heads, and the older fellow said, “Someone watches over fools, I guess.”

It was the dealer’s turn. Her face down card was a 2. The next card was a 9. She had 21. The entire table lost.

Now the older fellow was shaking. “Do you see that? If you hadn’t taken that 3, she’d have had it, and then that 9 would have busted her.” He picked up his chips and stormed off.

playing the pass line in craps (or don't pass if you are a dick) with max odds it the best bet you can make in a casino. It's basically close to 50/50. 49 point something percent odds.

any other bet you make on the table is a sucker's bet. even buying the 6 and 8. though there are worse bets like any of the hard ways or snake eye bets. but throw a $5 on them anyway cause yolo.

if you are coming away up a grand every time then you are on an insanely lucky streak lol
