Default Re: Can you beat the dealer or the casino?

Since I enjoy gambling, a couple of observations.

Your particular odds at a table, using what you outlined above, change for you and the dealer, for every card that is played after you during the same hand. Kind of depends where you are sitting at the table... if I'm understanding your post correctly.

If you're sitting at "1st base" (first player position) your odds for that particular hand will have changed by the time the dealer plays. On the other hand, if you're sitting at 3rd base (last player position) you'll have seen all the cards played with the exception of yours and the dealers. This assumes that the players cards are dealt face up. If the cards are dealt face down, then the odds for a particular hand won't be know, especially when you're at a full table.

At any rate, very interesting post kgun. I liked it.

Dave
