I was playing Blackjack the other night at a card club at a horse racing track (which is minutes away from the major casino around here) and they refused to let players bet .50 chips. I watched a good half dozen people attempt it after getting a Blackjack.
The dealer said "we can't pay you .75 if you get BJ" as the reason for not allowing those chips in play. (They allow them if you bet for the dealer though, hmm... toke hustling policy in place, perhaps?)
So that reminded me how most casinos will give you $4 payouts if you bet the pink twofer chip and get Blackjack.
That got me thinking, would the increase in EV be anything remotely significant if you had a pink chip on every bet, hoping to benefit from the roundup when you get a blackjack?
