    Scoping out a casino

    Casinos are very small, by and large. Many casinos still use traditional Brit' rules: No Hole Card for the Dealer. No Insurance other than "Even-Money" on BJ's You cannot split a pair of 4's There may be other restrictions that I cannot recall.

    Question re: a BJ "Promo(tion)"

    You bet it "off the top" -- as that serves as a sort of "cover play" If you are going to wait until your Max Bet is due you will only be gaining about 2.0% in e.v. on the Match Play Coupon. That is 50 ₵ on a $25 coupon. $100 is the Max size of the Match Play Coupons. Furthermore you...
