Yet that will depending on WHO is sitting at the table. Some want to play the bust. others want to play by the book. So every day that 'rule' is different depending on who you are sitting with.

I'll spare the ethnic stereotypes that crack me up, or I find entertaining and typically reinforced anytime I play. However, let's just say that 'some' are a little more superstitious, and loud about it.



Nah. Nothing new. It is called the Martingale.

One of the dealers told me about it, and that is how he plays. You need a big bank roll to do it, but apparently it works for him.
