A stiff sixteen is just as good as a blackjack

The card counter knows that there is no such thing as streak or luck. The dealer does never get hot. The deck is not changed for the better or worse by how an individual plays his hand. A stiff sixteen is just as good as a blackjack. The machine turns, the hands churn by, bets are made, won or lost makes no difference, and the inevitable laws of BJ force the conclusion that the card counter will get creamed.
