Did anyone watch Dateline NBC 'Betting On Mary'? How can someone loose a million dollar playing at a $25 BJ table? Especially, Mary was a BJ dealer before and obviously she must be a better player than the average ploppy. Either she must have been betting at the high black or gone through quite a loosing streak!
How can someone loose a million dollar playing at a $25 BJ table?
Off the top of my head, I think they'll let you bet more than $25 if you're losing.
Here's the whole story:

One revealing passage:
Mary: �I learned a lot about the game from dealing the game.�Morrison: �If you learned as much as you did about the game from dealing the game, why in heaven�s name would you ever play the game? They all lose on the other side of the table.�
Mary: �I know. And they always did. They played me. I was better.�
Guess she never heard of the double bust rule. She thinks the casinos win because they hire skilled dealers like herself.
I have an idea. What if the government required all casinos to post a sign: "WARNING -- if you bust, the dealer will take your money. If he busts when it's his turn to play, your money will not be returned." After all, Uncle Sam is looking out for our interests, right? RIGHT???
