It does seem you’re outright screwed or destined to push the vast majority of the time the dealer shows a face, 10, or ace. I mean, I just pretty much chalk those up. The only other thing to do is *always* bumume the other card he’s holding is a 10 or Ace and hit to get at least +1 higher. That’s the only way. If I see he’s showing a 5 and I’ve got 14, I hit. If I see he’s holding a 3 and I’ve got 14, I’ll stand, since *most* of the time he’s holding a 10 or Ace. If he’s showing 4 and I’ve got 14, I hit simply because I know there’s over half a chance at the best case scenario, I get a push.

To make it a bit more fair since it does seem disproportionately rigged to the dealer is to give a “Surrender” option for only the draw and first hit. I know it’s exceptionally rare in Blackjack, but there’s precedent for it, and losing 5k/12.5k is better than the whole 10k/25k. Using a Surrender should interrupt any scoop streak, though.

Ever since the new options were added the bot is kicking my bum more often than not. If you go on a run, quit when you lose two hands in a row – I’ve found once you lose two in a row winning from then on gets a ****ton more unlikely.

But it is ****ing uncanny how many times you’ll have 10/10 and the dealer will have the same or a magic Blackjack. Or if you’ve got 10/9 and he’s got 10/10 or a Blackjack.
