Blackjack

it is easy


The hell it is. There are so many "unwritten rules" that you "should" follow when playing Blackjack. I can't stand playing Blackjack because I get bitched at for splitting 10's, or hitting at a certain numbers. If you want me to play to your standards, give me some of your money and you can tell me how to play whenever you want. I hate how people expect you to play to help everyone beat the dealer. No frick that. It's my money, I am trying to win money for me. If it helps you win, awesome but I am not going to go out of my way and stay at 12 just to give you that good card to win.

Talk about a rant.


The "unwritten" rules are just rules that maximize your chances. And there are not that many.

I don't look at it as its everyone else against the dealer and you have to help, but I do think that you can screw over the person next to you, if he is getting a 10 which should be meant for the next guy over. If I hit on something that I "shouldn't" hit on, it may screw over the guy next to me. If you hit on something you should hit on he has no right to be mad. And like I said it isn't that hard to learn those situations IMO.

This is so accurate. It's the main reason I won't play blackjack unless I'm with a group of friends that takes up most of the table. Otherwise, people go crazy on you for stupid shite.

Go play roulette, bet equal amounts on the 2nd and 3rd tweleve.

either that or place a bet on the 1st twelve and place double that bet on the "19-36". You're covering nearly 80% that way. Hit the 1st tweleve, break even. Hit the "19-36", win your bet. Not vastly exciting, but your odds are high. Lose big when you don't hit though.
