You know you could make a living like this. It tilts me more when someone doesn't let me double down their 7-2 against the dealer's 4. "What if I want to take another card?". Seriously? You're gonna give up 1 unit of positive expectation just in case a deuce falls? It's even worst when it's Ace-6 against a 5 or something that would draw one and only one card no matter what.
Other things people at the blackjack table say/do that tilt me:
"18 is a winning hand" when standing on A7 against the dealer's 10 on not doubling down against 4-5-6.
Anyone standing on 16 against a 7+ up card.
Anyone standing on 12 against a 2.
When drawing a stiff against 9/10, making 17 and doing the fist-pump-stand signal.
When people act as if the cards were alive and were set up to make everyone win and the Casino lose. Eg: You skip a hand or join mid-shoe, "Now you will confuse the cards".
People playing roulette betting almost every single number and in between. Seriously how stupid can someone be? Of course the ball always lands on the ONE number no one picked.
People saying they have a fool proof system at Roulette that just CANNOT LOSE.
