Black jack players

I played for the first time today. I won a few hundred bucks but this pearl harbor terrorist next to me was getting angry the way i was calling cards. She acted like it was my job to play her strategy so SHE could win. I wasnt playing by the book. I gambled here & there. Bitches at the casino act like u can count cards in a 4 deck set lol

She has a point... I can't stand playing on a table with people not knowing when to hit or stand. Nothing worse than someone taking the dealers bust card that would have won for the whole table.

That has to be a myth. There more times i called for a card where the table won. I can u derstand in a 52 card deck but a 150 or 200 card deck the odds really dont matter.

Not playing by the book increases the house edge, even though small, in the long run it does matter. Short term you could hit a lucky small sample size and yes you could come out ahead. This is why degenerates hate newbies at the table, they are are always playing in the long run.

I understand some casinos put the cards back into the shuffle now so you can never really count them.

If you're playing in a 6+ decks games the two above statement are false. If you're playing on a table with 6+ decks and an automatic shuffling machine the above two statements are false x100. Even in single and double decks games the actions of the player in front of you have exactly zero impact on the card that is coming next. The fact that he/she took "your" card has zero impact on the winning percentage.

Emotionally it pisses you off, but mathematically the impact is zero.

Yep! specially with the introduction of shuffling machines in 6 deck games the cards are close to mathematical average even with smaller numbers of hands played. Basic strategy is a good that only guarantees you one thing: You'll loose your money slower than if you don't play it.
Counting cards is OK, but still very difficult to turn into a regular profit - and the shuffling machines have killed that anyway.
