You know, like “always split on 18,” or “having kids is the most rewarding thing you can do in life.”
What’s that one bit of advice you got from a trusted friend that you know deep, deep down would just ruin your thing?

I had a buddy who was a blackjack dealer. He explained it to newb players like this: “dude, you can do that, but if you had an 18” dick, would you cut it in half?"
Now, knowing /badwomensanatomy, that’s passe’, but it stuck with a younger me.
If the counts rich I’m splitting 20s, I’m playing to beat the house not play “perfect” strategy that’s calculated with no betting strategy.
If the counts that rich, id be betting table max already. Then splitting, hopefully 4 (or more) times.
…that would probably be my last hand played. It’s a pretty clear indication of a card counter. Like, it’s a giant flashing neon arrow pointed at you. Any rookie Hawkeye would be calling down to the pitboss.
Shit, if the counts rich enough I’ll double down in my blackjack on Spanish. 2-1 is better than 3-2, just saying. Playing Spanish no side bet is like loading up the prop and while only playing the pass line…people just don’t really dooo that.

You split 18 against a 6, always. Against a 9 or F = never. Against the rest are each count specific.

So it’s kinda like “quit while you’re still ahead” type of deal? I don’t think any type of gambling parabolas can be good advice considering, well, the nature of gambling.
No, it’s not something that is meant to be broader advice or a metaphor for something else, it’s literally advice for playing blackjack. What they’re saying is that it isn’t actually a good idea to split on an 18 when playing.
Split is a move in blackjack. It’s not just hit and stay.
You turn your 9-9 into two separate hands starting with 9s. The most likely card in blackjack is a ten cuz of all the face cards, so the idea is you get 19s instead of 18s
However according to blackjack cheat sheets you should not do this if the dealer is showing 7 10 or A.
Sit on 18(or 17+).
The saying is actually “always split eights”
2 eights are 16, splitting increases your chance of getting above 16 on at least one hand.
Thanks for asking about split on 18! I assumed it was about not trying to marry your highschool sweetheart or something!
I really hope you’re being sarcastic about this. It’s so hard to tell on the Internet.
I have kids and definitely like them most of them time.
Well kid #2 is an asshole but he’s the smart one so I’ll be nice in the event he becomes a doctor.
