Re: Stupid People Hang out at Casinos (non poker players)
It's not just casino goers, but rather the majority of the populous. I would wager that over 90% of all people would buy into various blackjack fallacies. The nature of blackjack simply has a way of pointing out how stupid people really are. It's really sad, especially when you're sitting at a table with good friends or family and you see that they fall victim to the very same illogic. And try explaining to someone the fact that one person making a bad move doesn't inherently screw anything up for anyone else.
On another note, I would wager that the percentage of the population that believes in common blackjack fallacies directly correlates to the religious percentage of the population. It's equally difficult to explain to someone that "faith" isn't very good reasoning.
