What about when one spreads their diarrhoea across the floor

Holy Jesus! The Old Boys are at it again

Depends what the dealer is on babes

Dealer has 6 or lower - sit
Dealer has 6 or higher - hit

Pair of 8s, 9, 10s always split against 6 or lower
Double down on 9, 10 and 11 with no ace

There is multiple ways to make money on blackjack if you know how to play

As a youngster I used to play casino games on my Nintendo, and often played Blackjack which I quite enjoyed

I also learnt to play Baccarat from one of my James Bond games

Didn't carry that over to being an adult though - maybe it's something I should have kept up with

Yep - you can stick white ball cricket where the sun don't shine.

How good was it to see India get whitewashed in their own back yard!!!!!

It certainly puts a dampener on it.

"perfect" blackjack has some really odd moves. Things like splitting 3's against 5 & 6 which no one would do.
There is a book outlining the maths for almost every combination.
you can get dealer advantage down to at about 0.5%

Always double up on Aces.

If he hates Poms and Indians, I'm sure we'd be best mates .

I’d do it. But again depending on the dealers cards and what came out in the deal to other players. There is always a pattern… it’s a lot harder to track cards with these shuffling machines but back in the day when I dealt - it was a 8 deck shuffle by hand. So much easier to track a stationary deck than a constant rolling one. You need to watch the cards to have any chance and ofc it’s a lot of luck.

I used to be called ‘The White Witch’ at the Brisbane casino. Roulette was my sthick… I’d section spin for a decent few… watch all the players come and load up the table and then the pitty would wink and I would twist the ball and spin it and it would drop into a completely new section and clear the ****ing lot lol

I loved my casino days. I did Brissie, Sydney and the ships. So much fun lol

Spilt aces - only get 1 card for each though

He isn't a fan

That's what I meant. The pug & his best mate were at the Casino one evening and being quite merry the pug decides to rest his arm on the table which is a huge no no and security guard tells me off.
I'm pretty pissed off and have been dealt split aces. Pug has decided to put a 100 on each and a perfect pair is dealt. I think the other tables heard the joy. Security guard says you can stay on now to which I take my chips and say I'm out keep your arms off of the table

Oh hell yeah! No elbows on the table.

I remember when the casino first opened and I was fresh out of dealer school… I’m dealing away and I happen to look up and there is my mum (crying) my dad, my sister, my grand parents (now dead) standing watching. I could have ****ing died and ofc I lost concentration and I took cards I shouldn’t have….. I wanted a hole to open up and swallow me.

Then my dad sits down and puts his elbows on the table which I proudly told him to move them….
Pride restored lol.

Best experience of my life tbh… I used that to travel the world on the cruise ships.

Miss my grandparents. Sad the only one I didn't have a relationship with passed away in April this year but when I flew over from Melbourne to introduce her to her great grandson and she turned her back and said good luck to you which was her way of saying I don't care that was the final straw.
He still remembers my mother's parents but my dads father would have loved him if he was alive when he was born with me being named after him
