@ roft :
like u said, actually it really depends on personal luck, not so much on others.
for eg, though i dont play jackpot, i play table games alot and i notice this frequent trend.
a seat may be having win streaks but when that player leaves and u take over, the streak ends...rite then!!!?? Like he took the luck with him.
reverse also happens- tat time i played on virgo, this frenly auntie i jus got to know gave up her seat- saying it wasnt goin well for her. Guess wat- after i sat down, i won $1k+....at her seat no less.
another eg, i notice that if the dealer change, the luck at tat table often changes also,
even wo any card changin or other disruptions.
