Does Poor Shuffling Affect Wins in Blackjack & Baccarat?

[allison56]

In hand-shuffled double-deck Blackjack, I always felt fresh decks were "stuck" — barely any wins, no matter the count. But one night, I won 60+ single-deck hands in a row despite the casino constantly swapping decks. In Baccarat, I’ve noticed pre-shuffled decks (straight from the box) lead to longer streaks and easier wins compared to over-shuffled ones. Just my experience, but has anyone else noticed this? Does shuffling (or lack of it) really impact the game?

Totally get what you're saying! I feel like fresh decks have a weird vibe. Ever notice how some decks just seem cursed?

Yeah, but isn't it just luck? I mean, shuffling is part of the game. You can’t really control it

Nah, man. There’s gotta be something to it. I swear, when they shuffle too much, it feels like the cards are just out to get ya
