Hi, guys.
Have been looking at this forum for a while and reading the articles, and registered because I have a little question I can't find an answer for and don't quite have the knowledge to work it out myself unfortunately (at least not with certainty).
At the casino I usually play they have no chips lower than $1, meaning that on a $5 bet blackjack pays $13 and when surrendering you get $3 of your bet back as opposed to $2.50. Likewise on a $15 bet you would get $8 back etc.
Out of curiousity, I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of effect this would have on house edge? And my question...because of this does it mean perhaps that I should surrender a little more frequently when I have a $5 bet out, as opposed to the normal situations dictated by basic strategy? How about in a high count?
Thanks¬
