But Freddy boy doesn't play blackjack.

I'll take a stab at the first few questions:

1 What percentage of my hands should I expect to win at BJ:
2 What % can the dealer-hand expect to win?
I expect to leave the casino with the two hands I walked in with. I believe it's been several years since they've cut card counters' hands off.

3 I can expect (LT) a Blackjack once in how many hands?
One in every 26 cards will either be a jack of spades or a jack of clubs. That would be approximately how often I'd expect to get dealt one.

4 The best chair to sit on is:
The seat with the best view of the hottest cocktail waitress.

5 I just lost 7 consec hands. I am overdue to win #8.
I'm always overdue to win.

6 How many ties can I expect?
Neck ties, bow ties, or shoelaces? Sounds like a really strange promotion to me.

7 How many dealer-busts can be expected?
Is the dealer male or female?

Fred Renzey states he does play BJ and is a former engineer. He also writes a article in the Chicagoland Daily Herald every friday in Time Out section thats generally worth reading. I think lately he has back-off of bad BJ games and played more poker.

Freddy is a regular player.
