Java Error on token "}" expected "{"

So I'm in the midst of creating a gambling application and just as I'm about to close up for the night. I see there is a new error all the way at the bottom with my closing brackets.
I'm getting the following error Syntax on error "{", "}" expected.
I think there might be an issue with one of my methods, but all of the brackets seem to be placed correctly. I apologize that it's 200+ lines of code, but if someone could possibly point out where I went wrong to get this error, I'd really appreciate it. I've tried messing with my brackets, but that only seems to lead to further errors.

How do I get this value passed into main properly?

i am having trouble passing the value of "guess" into my main method. The
method that is trying to return guess just shows up as zero in the main.I have tried various things such as void methods and different returns but the guess value does not get updated in the while loop of the main even though, from what i am seeing, it should be getting updated from the method and passing it down to the guesses right below it.

The title of your question almost answered you what you need to add: a loop!
I suggest you to refactor your function main and extract all your game logic from it to be stored within a dedicated function for the sake of the readability. Let's call it startGame().
Your main is going to become shorter and can represent a good location to introduce this loop, such as:
public static void main(String[] a) {
boolean isPlaying = true;
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
while(isPlaying) {
startGame();
// Your message to continue or stop the game
if(in.next().equalsIgnoreCase("No")) {
isPlaying = false;
}
}
}
I recommend you to use a boolean that is checked in your while loop rather than using a break statement, as it brings a better control flow in your application.

Just put everything in a while(true) loop and use a break; if they choose no. Something like:
static int playerPoints = 0;
public static void main(String args[]) {
int turn;
int numberOfSticks = 21;
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
while(true){
...
System.out.println("You have " + playerPoints + " points!")
System.out.println("Do you want to play again?");
if (!in.nextLine().toLowerCase().equals("yes")){
break;
}
}
}
Edit: ZenLulz's answer is better than this one, mainly because it encourages better programming practice. Mine works but isn't the best way to solve the issue.

show balance in simple atm in java

This code models a simple ATM machine that can deposit, withdraw, and show the 10 latest transactions in an array of 10 index values.
My problem is that I can't get the balance right after 10 deposits, the balance only seems to sum the values in my array, not including the transactions made before those ten. What am I doing wrong?

BlackJack in Java with same Deck(s) for Dealer-Player

I am writing a program in Java that is a classic BlackJack Game.
The rules are the same,and we make choices as players and the dealer(CPU) plays under some rules.
My code, that is beneath, makes 2 seperate stacks of Deck(s),one for Player and one for Dealer and each one draws from a different Deck but i want to make them both(Player and Dealer) draw from the same Deck(s).
Any suggestions/corrections on my Code ?

Some Clarifications:
1) The way we draw randomly a card is based on a strange way but this is not the problem its ok the way the program Does draw randomly cards from the Decks
2) Another problem that i noticed is that in class Hand the code that i have in // is not working as it doesnt allow me to have a System.out.println()
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
//Scanner input3 = new Scanner(System.in);
//int Decks = input3.nextInt();
River myRiver = new River();
//River myRiver = new River(Decks);
I wanted to do this so that i will say with how many Decks the user wants to play

You can do better and easier of code is oriented into objects.
i.e. Collections.shuffle(Deck) replaces that whole random conundrum
where Deck is your created Object made of such attributes as LinkedList and a counter[deck value]
hope that helps.
remove object Card from linked list of main deck and move it into the deck of a player. and yes, you can create as many decks as you want that way.
object Card has attributes Value and Suit.
