Re: Chance of losing 10 BJ hands in a row
I've won 10 in a row before, so it's possible. Dunno exact percentages though.

The last time I played BJ I lost 42 hands in a row,no pushes, lost.
Never will play again,that was over ten years ago.
The dealer still remembers me.He is now in management and I saw him last year,he calls me "Lucky".

Re: Chance of losing 10 BJ hands in a row
No idea, but my last time in AC I sat down with $300 on a $25 table, and lost 12 consecutive hands. So very possible.

Those are the ones you remember -- quick and dirty accounting.

No doubt...I actually think I've ran pretty close to expectation over the past 10 years.

Sorry for bumping this but I had to register here just for this question since I didn't see the answer.
The house edge is created entirely by the fact that the player busts before the dealer. Ergo, if you bust the dealer gets your money even if he would have or does bust.

No. First of all, Peeig's premise is wrong. The correct answer has already been given -- posts #23, #32, #36, and #39. All these answers are approximately correct, depending on how you view pushes and considering there is a little wiggle room for strategic efficiency.

I am only explaining the house edge, nothing more.
The house edge is created by the ability of the dealer to collect on player busts while still busting, nothing more.

Re: Chance of losing 10 BJ hands in a row
House edge also comes from the fact that the dealer is sober but the players aren't.

That's one of the house advantages -- the player also has advantages. They both have disadvantages. The house edge is determined by a combination of all.

Re: Chance of losing 10 BJ hands in a row
I played 6 hands, got 20 or 21 every time, and didn't win a hand. Probably harder than winning 10 in a row.
1) I don't bust
2) Dealer doesn't bust
3) get 20 or 21
4) watch dealer get 21, 20, 21, 21, 21, 20.
5) Vow to quit bj forever
6) Start playing craps.

That's true but if that were the only factor then the house edge would be about 8% (if all payoffs were even money and player followed the same hit/stand rules as the dealer).
I see I'm the slow pony.
