[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]just listen very carefully to AOs when asked this question - and they're all asked it.

we've heard quite a lot of top 20 presenters say, "my advice is to look up our numbers from last year, and submit if you're at 50% or higher"

they want their averages to go up - it works for their rankings.[/quote]

Sounds like you are describing a game of Blackjack.

If don't gamble it works like this:

Try to get as close to 21 without going over.  Whoever has the highest number wins.

The trick is in inducing the other players to keep reaching for higher numbers until they break through 21 and are out of the game.

Most people think they can only win with a 21. People who gamble for a living win with 16s all the time.[/quote]

I used to gamble. You're kind of right. I lost a lot of money once because I surrendered at 17. I was totally convinced everyone else was holding higher cards. I took myself out of the game and the guy who won the pot was holding a 15. He beat me with mind games.

This is not at all how blackjack works.[/quote]

Maybe not with your grandma. Go to a casino and play for real money against real gamblers

Oh man... the whole surrender thing has always been so iffy. The CCC had big problems regulating that. Big problems. Big Big problems.

But here is a tip. If you're holding a 17 or better just play the hand. You don't need a 21 to win.[/quote]

[b]A 17 in Blackjack is like a 1300 on the SAT. You probably won't win with it but it isn't impossible.

17 -> 1300
18 -> 1380
19 -> 1460
20 -> 1520
21 -> 1600

This is fun![/quote][/b]

You are wasting everyone's time with your posts indicating you don't know a thing about Blackjack.  You DO play (hit for another card) a 17 because of the likelihood that the next card will put you at 21 or slightly below.  And, yes, you play against the house, not anyone else.[/quote]

Almost 70% chance you bust if you hit a 17.  I would only do that at the end of the night if my stack was almost gone.
