Unwelcome advice at a casino.

This one is actually true.
It happened to me on the day when I had my biggest win ever, at a table game.

I was playing blackjack and having the best winning streak I've ever had eventhough they were many dealer changes.
But this lady sitting to my left kept nagging me with her:

"Take your money now".
"You'll end up losing everything".
"I'm telling you, I know".

She really ended up pissing me off.
I didn't want to be rude, but at a certain point I yelled: "Please leave me alone! Just play your game and don't talk to me".
I got everyone's attention and the pit manager told her firmly to mind her business. She did and I kept going till I decided to leave on my own.

What would've you done different?

I would have just said yes, ma'am, any minute now, they ain't getting this back, and kept on playing.
You tilt her, and it changes the game.

Sidebets tend to shut people up. If she's so confident as to run her mouth she should be willing to give good odds.

skaterick · Jun 13, 2026

glad you spoke up , and it is good to hear management sided with you .

maronza1 · Jun 13, 2026

I would have listened to her, you know what, this minute you can have a winning streak and the next hour lose everything. I have learned that in slots.

Zorba · Jun 13, 2026

I would have asked her "Are you married", and when the obvious answer of "No" comes out of her mouth, I'd then say "That makes sense"

I definitely wouldn't raise my voice. I never raise my voice at women. In most cases, they understand what they need to do from my intonation.

She was tilting me actually. I mean really, I was sensing some negative vibes from her.

Now that's something I didn't think of, otherwise I would've asked her to put her money where her mouth was.

That's all I thought of. I wish I thought of Lodestone's idea though.

No man, I was winning and that's it. In some hands, I'd tell people not to bet much, the dealer is going to win and I bet $5 myself and sure enough, he/she would get blackjack, 20 or 21 and beat everybody. Then I'd say dealer's busting and bet a bunch of green chips ($25) without knowing how much and they bust no matter what I stand with.
I felt like if she was jinxing me? Especially that I had my own plan, I was planning to leave as soon as I lose 2hands in a row, but that didn't happen for so long.

OMG!!! You're bad bro 🤪.
That I couldn't do, even if I had the idea.

Really?
I'd like to see you in the situation above. A strange woman telling you what to do every 10 seconds even though you asked her nicely to just have fun and forget about you. I even gave her a $25 chip twice (Put it on top of her $5 or $10 bet) and she won both times.

You don't need to reply to every person independently even when they're related comments. It makes your threads really hard to read. The quote function is great.

Honestly, I only used the "quote" option once and when I wanted to use it again just a few days ago, it didn't work or I forgot how.
To put it simply, you're right.

Alternatively you could ask, "Did your husband leave a suicide note"

Got nothing to say but: 😂🤣😂🤣.

Why would she care of you win or lose , why would she wanted to tell you such a thing . She must be a problematic person . She was losing and she was jealous of you maybe , so she wanted you up lose as well . Who knows . Anyway , you answered her in the right way .

A funny thing I did not mention is that she grabbed my seat as soon as I got up

I would just move to another table. No talking.

userX · Jun 14, 2026

I never pay attention to outside players. Especially if they give me some recommendations. I just ignore them and that's why they don't bother me.

MishkaZL · Jun 14, 2026

I'm used to being frank with people. And I say straight to their face what I like or don't like about them.
I would just tell this lady to shut up.

I'm not sure who you're calling "outside" players but in blackjack you're actually touching elbows with your neighbors.

I would't blame you at all.
