The odds of the other person getting a card they want doesn’t necessarily change, so why does it effect anybody when a player doesn’t play by the chart

It doesn’t.
One can play the “correct” way to maximize your long-term odds. But if you’re playing blackjack long-term, you’ve already lost. More fun to gamble on short term variance, imo.
It absolutely does not affect other players’ chances.
Same reason someone feels your driving caused them to get stuck at that really long light.
When they lose a hand, it’s because YOU took that card that would have let them win…and it didn’t help you either.
Frankly I dislike 21 because it’s too much like a boring clerical job. If this then do that, if that then do this.
one time playing blackjack i drew a card and the other 3 or 4 players at the table got so pissed at me for doing it. out right pissed.
that is, until the dealer took a card and busted and the whole table won. then it was all. “good job.”
walked away from that table imeediately.
It makes no difference. Anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong.
The reason it upsets people at the table is because they don’t understand probability and stochastic processes.
What? It dosen’t, it’s a gamblers myth
The first card in the deck is random.
So is the second one
And the third
And the fourth
Etc
It does not. If it did, the casino would put a bad player at every table just to fuck with the game.
The people you see bitch about it are less than informed about statistics, and prone to recency bias, thus making them terrible gamblers.
