Stupid People Everywhere - Like at the Casino
Do you want to win at blackjack? Are you currently winning blackjack in a casino? We’ll talk about that soon, but first let’s talk about stupid people. I have a few basic questions:
1. Why are people stupid?
2. What makes people stupid?
3. Are people really stupid, or are they just being fooled by brilliant marketers and casinos and huge corporations and swindlers??? Have they been psychologically tricked and trained into believing things have to be done a certain way (the casino’s way)???
4. Where are the clocks in a casino? What’s with the crazy carpet designs? How come it’s easy to get in, but not so easy to leave? Why do we have to do it their way? Why are the rules of Blackjack changing?
Maybe these questions do not even need to be answered – maybe we just need to stick to the task at hand in order to control what we can possibly control as individuals, and try to win at casino Blackjack.
We should start with developing good strategies to win at blackjack. Have you learned blackjack basic strategy yet? You don’t need to come up with a winning blackjack strategy on your own. Most of the work has already been done for you. Just pay attention, practice (at home for free), and then take your new skill with you and play smart casino blackjack!
Back to stupid people…you aren’t one of them or else you would have already stopped reading all of the great, and (hopefully), interesting information found on www.WinningBlackjack.ca – the Winning Casino Blackjack website!
Here are some examples of what I think make people at least LOOK stupid:
Example 1: Maybe you are playing Blackjack in a casino and have a choice of playing multiple deck blackjack or single deck blackjack. You have heard (and it probably seems like common sense by now), that single deck blackjack is better for the blackjack player. Do you know why?
The logic is, of course, that when playing single deck blackjack in a casino it is much easier to keep track of the proportion of high cards versus low cards remaining in the deck. High cards favor the blackjack player – low cards favor the casino. It seems reasonable that if 4 aces have been dealt, there are no more aces left in the deck, so it is impossible to get dealt a Blackjack.
Here’s where the stupidity comes into play: the casinos do not offer “traditional” single deck blackjack anymore. It’s a trick! I’m talking about the blackjack bonus which has been 3 to 2 for many years. Do NOT play single deck blackjack with the 6 to 5 bonus, unless you REALLY want to play and there is no alternative. If you have a choice, play multiple deck blackjack with the 3 to 2 bonus.
I am sure that if you ask 10 people who have chosen to sit and play at a 6 to 5 single deck blackjack game rather than a 3 to 2 multiple deck blackjack game, you will find that most of them are convinced they are the smart ones (and not just because it is “single deck blackjack”). After all, 6 to 5 is HIGHER than 3 to 2. “It’s BETTER!!!” Don’t be stupid – get a friggin’ calculator and do the math at home. OK, fine, I’ll do it for you….
$10 bet being dealt a Blackjack at 3 to 2 pays $15
$10 bet being dealt a Blackjack at 6 to 5 pays $12
Great -- so, learn blackjack basic strategy first! Then, work on your blackjack advanced strategy. How about a simple blackjack card counting method? It is not as complicated as you may think. Keep simple track of the proportion of high cards versus low cards remaining to be dealt from the blackjack shoe.

Example 2: Roulette (nothing to do with blackjack, but stupid people in general…)
Have you ever been to a casino that offers 2 kinds of Roulette (“European” and “American”)? I have – and they are both played, even though you have free choice. Briefly, the difference between the 2 games is that European Roulette has 36 numbers and a single “0”, and American Roulette has 36 numbers, a single “0” and a “00” (one extra space on the wheel).
As you can imagine, the extra space on the wheel greatly reduces the player’s overall odds of winning on any bet, even though the payoff for each type of bet is generally the same. This is the main reason why American Roulette is not very popular. However, when given the choice, people (“stupid people”) will still choose to play. Why??? Is it because of the name – “American” Roulette”? Is it because they think the extra space on the wheel is somehow better? After all, it is one MORE space – one more possibility, one more way to win, one more WHATEVER……stupid!
