"This is a gambler's fallacy."

One that is particularly annoying when some dude starts making faces at you at the blackjack table. Learning the most favorable decision odds-wise for each hand in blackjack is pretty easy, but I get bored unless I play a "hunch" every now and then.

If it infuriates someone who believes in that particular fallacy so much the better.

Not that I haven't gotten some good advice from old timers who've been playing for decades, but at least it is polite advice intended to be helpful.
