If you are dealt three consecutive hands, what is the chance that they will all lose, excluding ties? You have about a 14 percent chance of losing three hands in a row when you play blackjack. Most players probably guess 1 percent because they figure the chance of this. Let's say you played 100 hours of blackjack this year and you just had your first 10-hand losing streak. Well you played at least 5000 hands, and your chance of losing at least 10 hands in a row at some point in that stretch was around 99%. Dealer Final Hand Probability Odds. This next table shows the odds of what the dealer's final hand will be. Usually in blackjack, the dealer must hit on 16 and stand on 17. These rules are slightly different for other variations of twenty-one. So generally, the odds of the dealer's final score being 16 are 0% because he must hit. Losing 11 splits in a row on Wagerworks European single hand BJ. I am still breaking even by a few bets, but it is crazy dealer did not bust once. I fact these 9 splits are the only splits today. Edit:I was only 9 splits in a row and I won the next split! So the cycle stopped after 9.

*the OP is never interested in learning the math himself, nice try Teliot

thanks for the replies guys!

thanks for the replies guys! Offline slot machines app android.

and here is a way to use your new found knowledge
say the probability of a loss (no tie counts) = 0.524195435
so to lose 14 in a row = 0.524195435^14 = 1 in 8,454.6
1 - that = the chance to win your Marty 1 time
= 0.99988172164289369159809697846724

now say you want to win 5,859 times in a row (and with a natural BJ you could win good money too)
the chance to win that many times in a row = 0.99988172164289369159809697846724 ^ 5859 = 0.500056655
about 50%

how much real $$$ could you win over those 5,859 wins B4 your 1st loss?
i hope it is more than what you could lose with a 14 step Marty (of course it really will not be)
have fun and give some updates of your play if you due play

I suppose I should not fail to include my little ditty I have for the marty now:
You are basically just pressing when you are losing. Wouldn't you rather be pressing when you are winning?

Thanks guys, I've found a site which has a 10p minimum table and 10,000 maximum so I could double up 16 times or so before losing?
I guess it's risky but I would have to be so unlucky playing basic strategy to lose that many times in a row :?(

Yes,
You can be pretty confident of winning 10p.

Take care out there. Spare a thought for the newly poor who were happy in their world just a few days ago, but whose whole way of life just collapsed.

Blackjack is one of the least volatile casino games because you have a 46.36% chance of winning any hand (not counting ties). Add in that you can double down and split hands in favorable situations, and you’re dealing with a near 50/50 proposition.

Nevertheless, blackjack can still be a streaky game. It’s not uncommon to win or lose 3-4 hands in a row.

Some players try to capitalize on winning streaks by increasing their bets, but they often use a randomized approach that involves betting whatever they feel like in the moment.

I’m going to discuss some different ways that you can take advantage of winning streaks through systematic approaches. I’ll also cover how you can turn losing streaks into profits.

But let’s first dive into what your chances are of experiencing both winning and losing streaks in blackjack.

Probabilities of Blackjack Winning and Losing Streaks

Most blackjack streaks last for 2 to 3 hands. This makes winning and losing runs that last for 4 or more hands an unlikely occurrence.

But, as the statistics show, you can never rule out anything in blackjack. The chances of a 9 hand winning streak are 0.1%, meaning this can happen 1 out of every 1,000 times in a nine hand stretch.

Here’s a look at the odds of both winning and losing streaks:

Length of Streak	Chances of Winning Streak	Chances of Losing Streak
2	22.5%	27.7%
3	10.6%	14.6%
4	5.0%	7.6%
5	2.4%	4.0%
6	1.1%	2.1%
7	0.5%	1.1%
8	0.2%	0.6%
9	0.1%	0.3%

The stats support why blackjack streaks often occur within 2 or 3 hands. Any winning or losing run after this has less than a 10% chance of happening.

Can You Really Win More Money Based on Blackjack Streaks?

Before we get started on the methods that you can use to take advantage of blackjack streaks, I want to discuss if it’s feasible to increase profits during winning runs.

Before blackjack strategy became more prevalent thanks to the internet, many players simply thought that blind luck governed winning and losing streaks.

But streaks aren’t the result of some mysterious force working for or against you. Instead, this is merely statistics at work.

Mathematicians will tell you that a systematic approach during streaks won’t help you win any more money than if you keep flat betting. But there are certain factors that can cause a winning or losing streak.

One example includes an imperfect shuffle, which leaves clumps of high and low cards. And more high cards (a.k.a. aces through jacks) improves your chances of getting a natural blackjack.

The only problem is that it’s nearly impossible to predict when the deck hasn’t been shuffled thoroughly enough.

Whether or not you can take advantage of blackjack streaks with precision is debatable. But what you can count on is building on your winnings during a hot streak.

Likewise, with the right strategy, you can actually earn profits af
