13 Stupid Things Gamblers Say To Dealers

This list will only resonate with blackjack dealers, but as someone who has experience on both sides of the table, I have a pretty good idea of how both dealers and players should behave. If you don't happen to be a blackjack dealer, use this as a list of things not to say to your dealer. Believe me... they don't wanna hear it.

1. Will You Let Me Win?

Okay, here's the thing. contrary to popular belief among casino newbies, the dealer simply deals the cards, and has no ability to increase your chances of winning.

This one usually comes from young ladies who are playing for the first time. Sorry sweetheart. I can't help you.

2. I'll Tip You Before I leave

This is what the cheap people say. I might be biased, but generally when people say this, they don't end up tipping. They may fully intend to, but waiting until they're done to tip you implies that they'll have money left at the end (usually not the case).

3. I'll Get You Next Time

This one usually follows the previous one. Don't expect a tip.

4. You Always Show A Face Card

Somebody at the table will say this every time the dealer has a ten. As a dealer, I love it when I don't have a face card on the next hand. Shuts them right up. At least until next hand.

5. The Casino Wrote the Book

This is the dumbest one on the list. "The book" is not an actual book. It refers to the best mathematical play that the player could make on a particular hand. If you choose to not follow it, then you shouldn't be surprised when you lose.

6. I Was Gonna...

This is what people say when they lose their hand, and would have won if they had played it differently. Whenever I hear this, I always wanna say "I was gonna pay you."

7. I Always Win When I Lower My Bet

I admit, it does seem like this happens a lot. Whether by coincidence, or it's just easier to notice, people do win a lot on the hand that they bring their bet amount down. But, that's no reason to be mad at the fact that you won. I always reply to this one the same way. "You should lower your bet every time then."

8. Why Don't You Want Me To Win?

This is a pretty bold accusation. I get paid the same whether you win or lose, but if I don't want you to win, it's because you're being a jackass.

9. This is My Last Hand

It's never their last hand... Their last hand is the hand that they lose their last dollar on.

10. This Game is Rigged

Listen, buddy. Every game in the casino is designed for the house to win. So, in theory, every time you lose, things are going the way they should. Nothing rigged about it. If you truly believe it's rigged, why would you play?

11. I Never Win Here

Gamblers are a somewhat superstitious people. They really buy into the idea that if they have a winning experience at a particular casino or table, they will always win there. If they lose, it's just a bad table to them. Which begs the question; why would you play there then?

12. When Are You Going On Break?

I think this is actually really rude. If the dealer is hot, people desperately want them to go on break. Luckily, dealers have thick skin, but instead of asking this, another idea is to take a break yourself and wait until a new dealer comes in.

13. I'm Feeling Lucky Tonight

This one might not be fair. I just don't like hearing it. Mostly because I don't know how to respond to it. Let's just see how you feel in twenty minutes.
