double dicked in double deck

I can't count so I know the odds do not favor me, but i tried to find the game with the lowest house edge so I wandered to double deck. From wizard's calculator, the double deck house edge is around 0.45% compared to the 6 deck which is around 0.53%. However, I seem to be winning more on the multi deck and get slaughtered on the double deck. It felt like the dealer would flip a 10 up most of the time no matter if I played, didn't play or played 2 hands. It felt awful losing 24 units in a matter of 2 shoes. I followed stone cold BS.

My reactions were literally this

Had anyone else have experiences like this. I mean I was lucky that I parlayed it back on baccarat and walked away being even but the double deck slaughter is so brutal.

This is literally blackjack in general... There are swings of variance (luck) that counters and non-counters will expereince alike. It sucks to face a dealer 10 every hand... To make 19 and have the dealer get 20... To make 20 and have the dealer hit 21. It does happen. My teammate and I had 300 hours of play where we just got (non-literally) molested by pretty much every dealer we faced. The difference though is we knew we had a winning game, so we had to push through the hours/hands to get to the real expected value.

Yes, I played a $15 DD table just a few hours ago in the Midwest and lost $475 in 20 minutes. Opened up by losing the first 6 hands. Barely even got to spread. Just kept losing. Lost my doubles. Count warranted double or tripling the bet and I lost most of those. Dealer would get 15s and 16s and hit the soft card to make a 19, 20, or 21. Lost probably 80-85% of my hands. But I went through basically exactly what you just described. Walked away a big-time loser today. That is the game. Everyone, including myself, needs a real bankroll. Ugh.

Atleast you have 15 dollar dd tables. All the dd tables were 25 min for me ;-;
