Over the last few weeks I have taken to BJ and taken a slight hit and this isn't due to my own stupidity or chasing, but due to other people's understanding of the game.
To cut a long story short, there is a Chinese couple on the end and they wasn't doing certain things terribly bad, but still not great. Having a slight gamble when they have 12 and the dealer having a 5 or 6, etc. Obviously them taking a card costing the table and so on, but of course there was once the odd occasion they did indeed take a card (when they shouldn't) and it save the table. But in my view, I'd have preferred them to play a normal game, instead of relying on luck.
Anyway, I got talking to a BJ fanatic and I was telling him stories of idiots who play and he replied with the same stories and so on. I said to him that I would be up for taking a couple of grand and play the BJ table if it was just me and him at the table, I said to let me know. I haven't seen him yet, but I think he might be up for it.
So, but in general terms do you think with 2 skilled players (it's not hard to be skilled at BJ), is it possible to make a few quid? I have made the assumption that it is.
Any other views for BJ players? I know the edge is of course with the dealer (0.05 or whatever it is), but I enjoy the thrill of BJ more than any other game in the world.

He is meant to lose 2 grand obviously. That bit about the Chinese couple costing the table is clearly a level. |

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Lol. Fuck that you only have a 10% edge at blackjack no matter how good you are. Play punto banko to maximise your insane edge over the house. That way no idiots are gonna mess up your game

Sir. The cards are shuffled and placed in the shoe in a totally random order so it doesn't matter what the other players do, it only matters what you do.
For example, if all the other players at the table continued to draw cards until they bust, it wouldn't make the slightest difference to your chances.
If you do everything perfectly 100% of the time, the house will still have a 5% edge, which means that over time, you will lose.
If you play a less than perfect game, you will lose faster.
If you enjoy playing blackack and want to continue, then do so wth your eyes open. Accept the fact that you can't win, and you can't blame the other players.

Sigh. Red posted a sensible reply before I could post a sarcastic one.
OP - I suggest you buy some text books on probability before you start thinking you can beat casinos by throwing a couple of grand at it.
