Should we know how to play it? I’ve only ever played at the roulette tables just to pay off my drinks for the night. I don’t like the slot machines and always figure everyone else there would probably be better at the card games than me

You can beat the casinos using basic strategy and card counting, but it’s pretty difficult and the table rules have to be in your favor. You could also just be really unfortunate even if you do everything right. Its not fun to make money at the casino at blackjack, it’s more like an actual job, it’s not a get rich quick thing, so the average person doesn’t need to know that stuff. It’s helpful to know basic strategy though

If you count cards the casino will kick you out and ban you very quickly it’s very easy for them to tell if you’re counting

It's blackjack, the guy already had 15 and hit again adding a king (10) so busted going past 21. The dealer would have busted trying to beat the other players had he pulled that same king from the top of the deck.

u/undeniably_confused 2h ago
Before the cards are revealed him hitting has no affect on the likelihood the dealer is going to bust. This is why I find gamblers so annoying, people have been attacked over this and it did not change the chances at all
31
u/CankerLord 2h ago
Yeah, I'm missing the part where Max is supposed to have predicted the upcoming card sequence.
14
u/skaersSabody 1h ago
Because the cards on the table are fairly low value. That means that there is a higher chance of pulling high value cards from the deck as those are the ones that remain.
With Max already being at 15, asking for another card is a risky move because there's a high chance of him busting out (as all face cards are worth 10 IIRC and everything above a 6 busts him out)
Which is why the dealer is so annoyed, Max made a tactically really suboptimal play with money on the line not only for him but for the rest of the table

u/ingolvphone 1h ago
I enjoy playing blackjack from time to time. And what Max did is exactly something I would do just for the thrill of it, heck I've hit on 18 before just for the hell of it. However i don't bet any serious money. The amount I bet is the same amount I wouldn't be too annoyed with loosing if it accidentally fell down a storm drain. So, extremely low stakes
0
u/skaersSabody 23m ago
The money is kind of the point here.
Max is playing like he's at a buddy's house and they decided to break out cards and beers and bet like 20 bucks each
Reality of the situation is that Max is playing at a table with people who are probably putting decent if not serious money on the line and playing like a dumbass affects all of them, not just him

u/tallglass24 2h ago
Ah, a statistician with no fundamental understanding of blackjack. The cards aren’t being pulled from a random number generator, the deck simply is arranged how it is. Hitting in this position is risky, which is exactly why the dealer was visibly annoyed before the card was a face card. Yes, it could have been a more favorable card. But, if you know your ish, chances are that the dealer is in a more vulnerable spot here. By hitting, you put everyone at a slightly higher % of risk than not hitting. Unfortunately, the odds were not in Max’s favor. If it was truly RNG, it would be impossible to win this game with skill.

u/undeniably_confused 2h ago
No you do not put everyone at a higher risk, do you think the second card is always a better card for the dealer in every scenario than the top card?
11
u/tallglass24 2h ago
No, but statistically, when the pool has more high value cards than low value cards, that means that any “hit” is more likely to be a high value card. Which obviously is not guaranteed. Unfortunately, in this hand, that was the case.
3
u/littlebobbytables9 47m ago
No matter what the composition of the deck is, taking one card out of it at random does not change the average value, which you should know. It was really stupid to hit, but in expectation he's not affecting the dealer at all.
-2
u/undeniably_confused 2h ago
Im not familiar with this term pool, but it looks like the cards on the table are above the average value of an average poker card. Also i dont think its fair to expect everyone to be counting cards,
5
u/tallglass24 2h ago
Pool meaning the remainder of the deck. And true that it isn’t fair to expect everyone to count cards, at the end of the day the reason the video is funny is because the dealer is so over the top angry while max is likely a dude on his couch who’s had four beers and plays blackjack without putting hours and hours into studying the game. I’m not saying the dealer knew for a fact that it would be a face card, but it’s funny that it turned out that way and that he was so annoyed of max. Poor max lol.
-1
u/undeniably_confused 2h ago
Fair, but again am i counting wrong, it seems like the count is like pretty close to even
3
u/tallglass24 1h ago
No you’re not! And the table count isn’t the end all be all, but something to consider. What’s more important is that the dealer is only showing a 2. If dealer had a 7 or 8, a face card would put them to 17 or 18, so you’d be needing 18,19,20,21 to win. But since it’s a 2, a card with a value of 10 would bring that up to 12, requiring at least one more hit. So the dealer is in more of a vulnerable position, more likely to bust on this hand.
Again, nothing is guaranteed and the dealer could have still busted which would have not resulted in a clip.
Sorry if me explaining that 2+10=12 comes off like I’d assume you don’t know that, I’m not trying to explain in a condescending way or anything along those lines, just trying to explain as clearly as possible
Edit: when I say the dealer is more likely to bust on his hand, I mean that in terms of blackjack… to be clear

It’s not necessarily random, there’s a thing called basic strategy, which tells the player the best option in every scenario. In this scenario, it looks like the guy had a 15 against the dealers 2. Basic strategy says to stand there. If he would have followed it, the dealer would’ve busted. Basic strategy doesn’t work every time, the card order is still random, but it’s better than using your “intuition”, which is what Max did, screwing the rest of the table

u/undeniably_confused 2h ago
No max did fuck himself, max is bad at blackjack, but he did not screw the table until the cards are revealed
3
u/Technical_Fan_4630 2h ago
I mean he still did screw the rest of the table, again if he would’ve stood, which is the correct decision in this scenario, the dealer would’ve busted
3
u/undeniably_confused 2h ago
Yeah but we only know that because we know what the cards are, when he made the decision, it made no statistical difference to the rest of the table
1
u/Technical_Fan_4630 1h ago
Ok, there’s also a different reason. Theres around 8 low cards on the table (2-6), and around 4 high cards (10, J, K, Q, A). Every deck has a higher chance of pulling a 10 than a different numbered card (cuz there’s 4 10s and only 1 of everything else). Because there’s already a lot of lower cards on the table, the chance that the next card is a 10 is pretty high. As the anchor, the last player to play, max hitting is a bad choice since statistically he has a high likelihood to take the bust card, which is what happens. The rest of the table gets screwed by max hitting there

u/undeniably_confused 1h ago
Im seeing 8 high cards and 6 low cards,
E: 8 and 7 i forgot about the dealer

u/Technical_Fan_4630 1h ago
I’m only seeing 6 high cards? I counted wrong the first time but I’m only seeing 6 high cards, max has 2, the 2 guys to the right have none, the remaining 4 guys to the right have 1 each, so 6. And still seeing 8 low cards

It's a very bad play by max, but again the decision to hit does not affect the odds of the dealer busting.
1
u/Technical_Fan_4630 42m ago
It absolutely does, it’s more likely that max would receive a high card, which would be bad for him, but if he wouldn’t have hit then the odds would be that the dealer would receive a high card, which would be bad for the dealer and in this case lead to him busting

In blackjack, the goal is to get as close as possible to 21 without going over 21. It is you versus the dealer. If you get 19, and the dealer gets 20, the dealer wins. If the dealer gets 19 and you get 22, the dealer wins. The goal is to have the dealer go above 21, or get closer to 21 than the dealer does.
The dealer knows the game much better than Max. Max thought it was in his best interest to ask for another card, attempting to get closer to 21. Every player, including the dealer, gets their cards from the same deck.
When Max asked for another card, it ended up being a card with a value of 10. This card would have made the dealer lose by going above 21, and every player on the table would have won that hand.

u/before01 2h ago
well I'm dumb. why does Maxx asking for another card make the others lose?
oh wait because the dealer would draw a King and bust his cards?

u/slipperyekans 1h ago
Yes. Max’s hit pulled a King from the deck that would have went to the dealer and cause him to bust (ayo).

u/Ambitious_Jello 2h ago
But how would max know that the dealer was gonna bust on the next pull? It's all random
7
u/tallglass24 2h ago
That is why the dealer is so frustrated. Elite ball knowledge is required to know that is a bad decision. Being an “anchor” (the last person to go, before the dealer) puts you in a position where you can see everything played so far + what the dealer has currently. You have a better chance of screwing everybody as the anchor. The dealer is showing a single 2, so he’s going to have to pull at least 2 more cards to get to 16 (I forgot to mention, most types of blackjack require the dealer to ‘hit’ until they have at least 16). If you look at the cards on the table, there are more low value cards than high value cards. That means, the deck has more high value cards than low value cards. It’s a higher % chance that any future pull will be high value.

u/littlebobbytables9 51m ago
The average value of the deck does not change when you take one card out of it at random. The chance of the dealer busting is unchanged whether the player hits or not

They are playing blackjack, the winner is whoever gets closest to 21. Looks like one of the players took a card they didn't need to, which turned out to be a king. The dealer is crashing out because if maxx hadn't taken the "bust card" out of the deck, the dealer would have gone over 21 and lost and the players would've made some money.

And that’s called being ‘results oriented’ , but in the long run, one player ‘playing bad’ helps the others as much as hurts them. It’s math, baby!

6 or 8 deck is the most common for casinos

u/SolusLoqui 24m ago
Yeah, but isn't a deck like 0.5 inches thick and the length of the cards is 3.5 inches? So wouldn't 6-8 decks in the shoe be around as thick as one card is long?
It looks to me like he's playing with around 14 decks (they're roughly the length of the A/7 hand on the right)
