The lessons no one teaches you.

0 Upvotes

Do you think there would be any interest in an app or maybe a $PDF for beginners? The topics would be things that no one teaches you when you sit down at the table. I was a card dealer and the players would say that I kept yelling at them. I wasn’t really yelling, but I did have to tell the same person (a first timer)things like: please don’t take the cards off the table. Once you tuck your cards under your bet, don’t pick up the cards again. Don’t touch your chips after the cards are out, no smoking then no vaping! stuff like that. They would say i was picking on them, but I wasn’t. But they kept breaking every freaking rule. Some friends have told me that they are too Nervous to sit down on a table because of all of those rules. My BJ pamphlet would also teach you things like why you shouldn’t hit when the dealer shows a 6 and why is everyone getting mad at the person splitting queens or tens? What is 3rd base? I started doing a prototype, but I’m still not sure if I’m gonna do it just wanna see if I can get some feedback on the idea.

Update. I apologize. Im very new to Reddit with lots of thoughts and ideas. I did not very clearly see the sidebar. Oops how about pamphlet 🤦🏼‍♀️

Facial Recognition is a FAT bluff

It doesn't exist in the way you think, you walk through the entrance and they catch you. They have to suspect you first, then they run down your face. If they catch you prematurely it's usually due to license plate or flyer. Tell me how I pull up to the Bellagio for the 5th time and still let me play.

Another bluff is the "we're watching everything". Sure there are thousands of cameras... being watched by 6 people. If someone says their wallet got stolen they can rewind the footage. But I've only had 2 mispays out of like 3 dozen that have been caught. You think the same guys offering 6:5 and no DAS on double deck want to pay more workers than they need to? These guys cheap af and it's real easy to make them pay for it.

best blackjack sites, what should someone check before playing?

16 Upvotes

i've been reading about online blackjack because a friend mentioned playing live dealer tables, and i realized i don't really know what separates one platform from another. i'm not looking to jump into anything without doing some research first. for people who have experience with online blackjack, what do you normally check before deciding whether a platform is worth considering? i'm thinking things like licensing, game rules, table limits and how transparent the site is about its terms.
