This topic always comes up when Blackjack is mentioned anytime. I've been thinking about it a few days. Actually unfollowed a youtuber that I had followed for a long time because he went on a rant about it.

But anyways.
This whole..."you screwed me or you screwed the whole table by making the wrong play"

With multidecks and card shufflers then cards are completely random. Over time it makes absolutely no difference on your cards what the person before you does, but it gets hashed so much.

Yes you can cherry pick one hand and say...blah blah blah.. But just as often you can say oh great you made the wrong play which caused the dealer to bust. Oddly those never get advertised.

I play mostly by the book but from time to time I will make a "wrong play" Not tryign to defend myself. Personally I dont care if I make someone mad. Its my money. And not really trying to fan the flames of the argument.

Just wanted to make the point that hopefully most here can see that with the random cards it doesnt matter. Unlike most forums groups etc where people are set in their beliefs that others play makes a difference.
