Luck does absolutely nothing for gambling (THREAD IS DONE)

[bóbr]

i tried another character, 10 luck, playing blackjack. i double down all the time and ♥♥♥♥ing lose my money, people are saying they get enough money to be banned from any given casino in 15 minutes with 7 luck, how am i failing if i have 10 luck?

Blackjack is a game where some skill is involved. You have to decide whether to double down or hit depending on how close to 21 your cards are. If you have 7, there is no way you can double down with enough to get a high chance to win. Your luck only determines the cards you and the dealer get, you still have to make use of them wisely.

Blackjack is the least affected by luck. It's more a skill-based gamble.

Slots and Roulette are heavily affected by luck.

Every time you get the onscreen message "you feel lucky" or "you feel unlucky", a behind the screens roll that takes the luck stat into account means the current card drawn is adjusted either in your favor (high luck) or against you (low luck). If you know how to play Blackjack and take advantage of the unnatural luck factor, you will indeed clear out all casinos in no time.

Only pressing double down is playing the game so stupidly, all the luck in the world can't save you, whether it's real life or New Vegas.

No offense to those saying that luck does nothing or not much at blackjack, but you most likely do not know how to play properly.

Let me tell you what happens at blackjack with high luck (9-10):

-You get a figure or a Ace (10 or 11 points)
-Next card will never be under 7 so you will always get at least 18-19 point with 2 cards. (Remember, highest points is 21, more than that is gameover)
-30% of the times you'll get a 21 with the two first cards right away

Now, if you don't understand how to win at blackjack then no matter how high your luck is, you won't get much.

everyone was saying you can just double down every time to clear out a casino quickly. no you cant.

Double down does work a lot of the time when your starting total is 8-10. Anything higher and your asking for trouble. It has worked on 11+, but not very often.

10 Luck is not a 'win automatically' setting. You still have to know how to play blackjack. Doubling down all the time - no matter what your cards are - of course you're going to loose money.

i have already said this is no longer a problem and slots work fine, i mention blackjack because everyone else claims its the best for making money. you're a moron

[Bansheebutt]

It is pretty good for money.

Not sure why that implies Luck will help you out at all the time when you double down on 19 or 5.
