Once again, I am declaring Revel as the place where variance went to die…Was playing blackjack this morning – lost 3 hands in a row, pushed, then won a hand then lost 4 in a row, pushed a hand, then lost 6 in a row – down appx. $1500. Left the table.
Next session – won the first hand then lost the next 5 hands, including a $300 hand that turned into an $1800 as follows:
Dealer: 5,x
Me: 6,6 split 6,6,6, split 6,6,6,6
Hand 1: 6,4 (double) dealt 5=15
Hand 2: 6,A (double) dealt 10=17
Hand 3: 6,5 (double) dealt 4=15 (4 hands max on splits)
Hand 4: 6,5 (double) dealt 7=18
Dealer has 5 turns over 3, deals herself 2 deals herself King — BOOM! loss
Third session: lost first 6 hands (3 hands I had 19, 1 hand I busted, 2 hands dealer pulled 21 to my 20) now down with no relief in sight!!!
Stopped at Bally’s for a mini-session – hit for a quick $530 (would’ve been $730 had the guy at first base who stated “I always split 9’s against a 4 but, this time I will be happy just taking my money” (famous last words as we all lost to the dealer drawing to 21) LOL——-Sat down and won the first two hands (dealer busted)Third hand doubled a 9 versus a 5 and lost when I was only dealt a deuceWent back and forth the next few hands – nothing to write home aboutended up +500 for the session——-Just got utterly destroyedIn one shoe I lost 20 of 25 handson 13 of those 20 hands, I had 19 or betteralso lost 3 doubles and 1 split——-Just played for an hour got back 1k — crrrrrrrrrrrazy swings of variance
Well this weekend continued a horrific last few weeks at the tables. The following run of five consecutive hands summarizes it quite well:
Me: K,K Dealer: 5,6,Q
Me: 10,8 Dealer: 10, 2, A, A, A, 6
Me: 10, 6, 4 Dealer: 7, 2, 3, 3, A, 5
Me: J, 10 Dealer: Blackjack
Me: J, 9 Dealer: Blackjack
After this past weekend, all wins for the year are gone – ended the year even
