They took the card that would have made the dealer bust. I can count cards but it's too much work. I just kind of pay attiention and when the deck goes "positive" I push my bets. It's a huge concern that other players don't take cards they shouldn't. If the dealer has a stiff, and the deck is positive there is a huge probablility that the dealer will bust. If a knucklehead hits on their stiff, they are taking the card meant for the dealer.
While it's true they could just as easily get a low card, I'm banking on percentages that the dealer won't make their hand. I'm paying attention and I know high cards are more likely to come out than low.
How do I prove this?
I don't often lose while playing blackjack unless I get impatient.
