Change of Croupier - stop or not

I have been playing roulette quite a bit recently and have an interesting dilemma.

I play a progression based on betting on 2 streets which requires bets up to 12 times in a row.

The street betting is based on the hot streets from previious spins.

On a few occasions when I have got into some bigger bets towards the end of the sequence, the croupier has changed.

I am interested to know whether you guys think I should continue playing with the new croupier or quit and take the losson the chin

Really?

There is a small number of people who think that some skilled croupiers can hit the same section of the wheel more often than they should if they are trying hard enough. But even that wouldn't matter, because the streets are distributed all over the wheel.

So... really? How could this POSSIBLY matter?

Add it to the every growing lists of systems, and superstitions.

Depends upon whether you think that little white ball has the hots for the old croupier or not and so might be upset.

Quit.

This is easy.... I have been playing roulette... blah... blah.. and.. blah... blah.. the answer will always be to quit playing roulette no matter what.

The dealer has no influence on the outcome. Many
times I've seen a streak happening and it continues
after the dealer change. Its an urban myth that
dealers can purposely influence the game.

Unless you're following Einstein's advice and taking chips while the dealer's not looking :P

Hello. My first post.

I must admit that the games of Nevada have changed a lot since I last held a job in a casino. I can tell you that rumors always flew among casino workers of old that this dealer or that one could control the ball but personally, I have never known anyone who could do so.

Most wheel dealers - especially those from Las Vegas, where skill really mattered - took great pride in their abilities. Those abilities were measured, in order of importance:

1. Ability to do the math perfectly and quickly.
2. Ability to push many stacks of checks, especially with one hand, and (better still) either hand.
3. Ability to "cut" checks with either hand.
4. Ability to spin the ball well in either direction and/or with either hand.

Never was hitting a particular part of the wheel even mentioned in front of me in my roughly 15 years in gaming as a dealer, boxman, or floorman.
