Okay, so a little lesson about one of the sidebets at the casino I work for, we have a side bet on blackjack called lucky ladies, basically if your first 2 cards equal 20 then you win either 4 to 1, 9 to 1, 19 to 1, 125 to 1, or 1000 to 1, all based on what cards you have, and of course, whether you've bet there. (Not all of this is relevant, but it may be handy to know)
Okay well, most people bet $1 - $5, but you can bet up to $100, in this case the player bet $17, and he got a 4 to 1 win. I hate bets like that, because unlike other more common bets it slows the game down while I figure out what I need to pay out, it's a pain in the ass. So I'm standing there at first trying to do the math in my head, which is not at all my strong point, I forget numbers as I'm figuring them out in my head, and the player beside the winning player does the "I'm so superior to this stupid peon" sniff and says "that's easy! Just pay it like *ch ch ch* (I think he was suggesting I pay out the chips in a line...which is not what we do with that type of bet)". So I eventually have to use the chips in the tray to figure this out and the game continues, and the guy who made the comment decides to take it upon himself to say the numbers of the cards as I'm going through them, like I can't figure it out myself.
Needless to say I spent most of the time he was at my table wishing he'd lose and leave, but those kind seem to have an endless supply of $100's to throw at me.
