Before we got this game I had honestly never gambled in a casino, I have learnt :-

1/. That apparently I can't count

2/. I can't gamble

3/. In real life these nice people who own casinos take a terrible risk with their own money, I don't know how they sleep thinking we might bankrupt them any time, to make it worse my friends tell me they give away free food and drink too, they have to be Philanthropists?

4/. That no matter how many times you draw 20, the dealer ALWAYS draws 21

5/. You make lots of buddies, also losers, down on their luck but soon they'll be millionaires.

6/. James Bond and Maverick were liars

7/. Even little piggies can go bankrupt

8/. It is not fixed, I am just unlucky

9/. When down it's hard to get up

10/. Soon I too will be a millionaire, guaranteed

 

Thank you XI

If you look up on the top left it tells you what you have. Also I'm pretty sure the dealer is in cahoots with Rugger and stealing all of my points. So FU @Ruggerxi and 5 million to that terrible cheating asshole of a dealer. Okay rant over.

11/. That's difficult for English speaking people to win at a game invented by French people :yes:lol:

However, you can use strategies allowing you to know when dealing or not (lol!) > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackjack. Then u lose but less often ?

We have another name for blackjack which is Mistigtri (club's jack). The mistigri is a bad card that makes you lose if it stays in your hand at the end of the game . So play the mistigri is messing with bad luck. Just saying... :cat:

11/ Is Blackjack French?! What a fucked-up people we are to invent that kind of torture...

 

I actually used such a grid for a few days on this Blackjack module, I'd say that it doesn't help for shit haha, I got much worse results when following the grid than when going with my own feelings. Then again it's all about probalities.

Basic strategy only works to a very small degree. the odds are bs.  can't count how many times the dealer draws 3 or more cards and wins.

Casino's are not built to loose money! lol Best odds you can get is 50/50 on red or black. That is why they throw in 00 to reduce those odds (roulette) From there you loose but you can get free drinks! lol Be happy this doesn't cost you anything and the lessons are free.

Wow, haven't seen that yet. That defies odds... But then again, it's just an algorithm in which odds are infetsimal. Just not in your favor lol.
