I have often seen dealers make mistakes which benefit a player, but I would never say anything.
On Saturday at Rama, 2 dealers screwed up by paying me when it should have been a push.
Since it was myself affected, I briefly thought about telling him, but then said 'fuck it'.
There seems to be an unwritten rule that everyone lets the dealer do what he will do, unless it is a mistake that costs a player.
I am an extremely honest person, but I don't have a problem with this.
For one because the chances are that the house is going to end up with most of the cash anyways, but more so because I am not there to train blackjack dealers.
If the dealer is incompetent, that is the responsibility of the pit boss and those who do the hiring and training.
The onus should not be on me to point out their fuckups.
There are some who would consider this theft, but to me it is not theft by choosing not to be excessively honest.
If they were to ask me a question, I would tell them the truth if it affected only myself, but I would otherwise keep my mouth shut and not go out of my way to volunteer any information.
Another time I asked for a $2000 marker and the dealer ended up giving me $4000 in chips.
I did not even notice and started to play.
I won a little before the pit boss noticed my stack of chips and asked the dealer how much I bought in for.
When he said $2000, the mistake was discovered and I gave back the extra chips.
The dealer said "No problem, I'll get those back to you" and sure enough, I ended up having a great day making around $2400.
A guy who was watching me play asked me to add on some bets for him and he ended up winning over $10k, but he didn't even give me any tips, the cheap bastard.
