Any Blackjack players here?

[Jack Davenport]

I play in the casinos about 4 times a year . Next week I go to Foxwood (my first time there).

What is the highest single wager you have ever made?

What is the most you have ever won in a single game?

What is the most you have ever lost?


For me:

Highest wager: 2,500

Most won: 19,000

Most lost: 8000

^ Are you a hat and glasses guy or just glasses ?

Years ago now - ( non regulation / ''boys night out'' maximums)

$300 wager

$2,000 - 2,200 won

$ $650 - $700 lost

By nature I'm not a gambler whatsoever fwiw

Not much of a poker player so I didn't catch the reference.

Counting cards only gives you a slight advantage. Wild bet swings that result in gains is what pit bosses look for. I abandoned Jack for Hold 'Em and Roulette. I once won $4000 on Roulette. I lost $2000 in a night's sitting at a Hold 'Em tournament.

How does that work? I mean, I understand that you keep track of what cards are played, but how does that increase your odds of winning? There's still the uncertainty of what cards are dealt.

It's the +1, 0, -1 math equation. Has to do with cards above or below certain values. Depending on the equation you use. But I'll let Sparky tell you.:thumbsup:

As dumb as it sounds, the only blackjack I've played is online, and I swear that shit is rigged.

I'm watching the scene where LF is running the eye in the sky. The color monitors are all manned by casino experts. I laughed because it looks like fucking NORAD or something.:1orglaugh
