LuckyCover.com--DO NOT play BlackJack
Hand #1: 5 showing, Queen hidden, hit and got a 6 = 21
Hand #2: Blackjack
Hand #3: BlackJack
Hand #4: 3 showing, 8 hidden, hit and got a 10 = 21
Hand #5: BlackJack
Hand #6: 7 showing, 7 hidden, hit and got a 5 = 19 (I stood at 18)
You can throw out basic strategy on LuckyCover.com The ONLY way to win is to go against basic strategy and get "lucky". We all know how that works. LuckyCover has a licensed to steal when it comes to BlcakJack. I would strongly recommend you stay away.
Quote: BlackJackPlayerHard to win when the dealer hand hits to 20 & 21 about 20% of the time, and dealer only busts about 10% of the time. Most recently, was up and increased my bet. On next 6 hands, dealer had the following:
Hand #1: 5 showing, Queen hidden, hit and got a 6 = 21
Hand #2: Blackjack
Hand #3: BlackJack
Hand #4: 3 showing, 8 hidden, hit and got a 10 = 21
Hand #5: BlackJack
Hand #6: 7 showing, 7 hidden, hit and got a 5 = 19 (I stood at 18)

6 hands? Seriously?
Selection bias again.Quote: AxiomOfChoice6 hands? Seriously?
Quote: AxiomOfChoice6 hands? Seriously?
At least there was six. Usually accusations of Internet casinos cheating have nothing but adjectives as evidence.

Was up? Gee I wonder how a 20% 20/21 dealer would let you be up to begin with.
Quote: IbeatyouracesI've had the dealer get 7 straight blackjacks on me once.
WHAT????
Ok, you win. For some definition of "win".
Quote: IbeatyouracesYep, 7 in a row. My record as a player is 5 in a row.
Geez. How much blackjack have you played? I assume that you are well aware of the odds against this happening.
That has (almost exactly) the same chance of happening as having the dealer make 7 blackjacks in a row on any given stretch of 7 hands (ignoring removal!! The real odds are actually worse)
Quote: AxiomOfChoiceSuppose I pick one set of numbers for a 6/49 lottery, and bet you that those numbers will come up in the next drawing. You agree. I win. Then you agree to bet double or nothing on coin flips, and lose 7 of those in a row.

It's like being struck by lightning while simultaneously being mauled by a bear AND a tiger.

What do you show the odds to be? Without removal, isn't it just (128/2652)^7? That's much lower than the odds of winning a 6/49 lotto twice in a row.

Yeah that's why I only said one 6/49 win followed by 7 coin flips :)

That's what I did too. Crazy odds, but still more likely than what I saw happen to me once on a more reputable online site than luckycover.com.
Dealt 75432 offsuit 4 times in 16 hands. On my favorite uncle's (RIP) birthday no less. The good news was it was on PokerStars while playing 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball. So I was actually dealt the nuts 4 times in 16 hands (single occurrence odds: 1 in 2548). Bad news is, I still lost that 500 hand session, damn limit poker...lol
