Not if you protect yourself by paying attention. The house paying for all dealer errors would mean many things.
-One/several errors big enough could put the house in the hole.
-dealers would be fired for making a big enough or multiple mistakes. Dealer turnover is an expensive thing for casinos
-It would encourage players to try to get dealers to make mistakes.
-players would pay attention less, knowing that any mistake will be made up by the house.
-imagine a dealer makes a mistake and the wrong player profits. He keeps his mouth shut and the correct player realizes it a couple hands later, then the house pays the correct player. Good way to scam the house. It will just never happen.
