1. I lost 21 consecutive hands of BJ at the Riviera many years ago. I had walked up to the table with one red chip, bought in for $100, and lost 21 straight. This was 35-40 years ago, but I will never forget. I also had a female dealer that was hot for me at the Riv and she was intentionally flashing cards and when peaking for BJ, she was signaling me. I was too much of a rookie to really take advantage of the flashing, but I did get to take advantage of her after her shift.

2. I went 11 years without a Royal at a time when I played pretty heavily. Now that I play randomly for an hour or 2 every month or so, I seem to constantly get royals.

Shit does happen.
