How Much Money Does A Dealer Watch Her Players Lose In A Career?

Nay, assist the players in losing. I was thinking 400 spots per hour, 10 avg bet = 4000/hr * 2 percent loss rate = 80 bucks per hour. 5 hour days = 400 bucks a day. 2000 bucks a week. 48 weeks a year is $96,000 a year. 11 years for a career and we have over ONE MILLION DOLLARS lost at every dealer's table in a short career. They watched it all go, even assisted and abetted.

Of course I watched players around me lose more than that in my career and normally I don't say a word. Guess we'll all burn together someday.

I've got an especially hot area prepared for you, sir.

"Of course I watched players around me lose more than that in my career and normally I don't say a word."

What kind of word would you say? Tell them they are losing their money? They know that already. For most gamblers the game is entertainment, its like buying a ticket to go to a movie. They are perfectly aware casino is making a profit on them. For them its a place to have fun/to escape from pressures of daily life/to socialise/etc... No one forces people to come and play, they sit down at the table voluntarily and stay for as long as they like.

If you were playing and someone busted in with advice about how you should be more responsible with your money, how would you feel? I'd tell him to mind his own business. There is nothing I hate more than know-it-alls that think they know the magic formula for perfect life that everyone else should follow. Unfortunately these type of people seem to always get elected into governments.

When the dealer wants me to win, I feel better, cause I know I'm not being cheated, but I don't expect any dealer to lose sleep over my losing at his/her table. Those who can't afford to play should avoid BJ, or find a $1 table. No one on either side should feel guilty--or burn.

The problem is that America is full of hypocrites. Don't drink, don't smoke, don't gamble. If you want to do it, it is your right to. You are right. People work hard for their money. I hate when people try and tell me how to spend my money.
