7:5 blackjack

Anyone seen this? http://wizardofodds.com/askthewizard/213 Has it popped up at any properties other than the one mentioned?

quite amazing that a 7:5 payout vs. a 3:2 payout (i.e. 7.5:5) adds 0.46% to the house edge.

don't play this crappy game either/ever. 0.86% House edge on DD game? hope station casinos continue to reap the rewards of their craptastic games.

It's better than a kick in the head.
If they are replacing 6-5 SD games,I salute them. If they are replacing 3-2 DD games,I pass wind in their direction.

I'm looking forward to 9:6 blackjack!

nice easyrhino. im sure someone has thought of that and just not realized it yet

Enjoy !

7:5

I'm really surprised that this game hasn't been offered sooner. I wrote a thread on this several years ago and have always contended that this would make the perfect balance point for a card counter on SD. Just suppose you walked into a casino and noticed the following rules: SD,S17, DOA, DAS, LS, Ro7+ and 7:5. Would you pass it up or think twice?

With h17 double anything it would be quite ok - 1D decent pene, that is. zg

Why,I'd rush to the nearest Internet Cafe and post the rules on BJinfo.com and hope one of our many hi-tech whizs would run a billion hand simulation while I enjoyed a comped buffet lunch. Wouldn't you?

bjbob:

I took CVData to task a few years ago for the 6 & 8 Deck shoes in CT after hearing a rumor. Bad... about 0.80% HA with no other rule changes.

DD on the other hand looks about 0.63%, and your Single deck rules are quite playable 7/5.

Now lets say Player Wins Blackjack at 7:5, no Ins 2-deck H17 DOA DAS SP3 noLS noRSA.

of course not, but you and i know they won't offer that

it'll be the following:
SD, H17, D9, nRSA, Ro5, 7:5

as ZG suggested a H17 DOA game would be playable, house edge around 0.5+% but with good pen i'd play it too, if for nothing more than to punish them :whip:
