House dealers

Does anyone have any thoughts on this subject.I know that the only way a dealer can manipulate cards is in hand held games.I play at the same location quite often(6 deck shoe) and it always seems that when I am doing well a dealer will come into the game who I have not seen the whole night in the high limit area and start wiping out the whole table.I do understand that maybe its just a point in the game when the game shifted in the other direction.However, I have witnessed this countless times and it has started to make me wonder why this happens when a dealer I have not seen all night enters the game.I know it sounds kind of ridiculous,but it just has me wondering

...and it always seems that when I am doing well a dealer will come into the game...

Just like it always seems like I win more when I wear my lucky shirt. Or, it always seems like I do better if I stop after I lose 20 units or win 40 units. Or, it seems like I can predict streaks.

...I do understand that maybe, its just a point in the game when...

Sorry, then you don't understand. There is no "maybe" to it.

...I have witnessed this countless times...

You will witness lots of things countless times when you play. Sometimes you will notice something you are looking for and won't notice the opposite happening more frequently, because you are not concentrating on the opposite occurences.

...it has started to make me wonder...

Well, stop wondering. Quit falling for voodoo. The casino has a calculated edge over most players. If they want to change that edge, they simply change the rules. Why would they risk losing their license instead?

...It's what professionals call "selective memory". In most situations it blocks the memory of painfull situations. Strangely, in the casino environment, it usually works just the opposite, blocking the good experiences while retaining and easily recalling the painful ones.

"What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.
