Hi, I've wanted to do some research on backbetting for a while but I don't even know if it's worth it. You know when you have the possibility of standing behind people playing and betting behind their bets... I know it's not usually a good thing to bet like that because (even if the player was playing perfect basic strategy) the payouts aren't exactly the same... As a matter of fact, I don't know exactly how different are the payouts, so this is something I need help with also, I'm also confused as to can we double when they want to hit, can we not double if they double, or what happens if they split, can you play the first hand only or do you have no choice to play both hands by adding to your original bet... etc.... BUT THE MAIN QUESTION IS THIS: Is it possible to ever yeild an advantage with this kind of betting (assuming the players are all playing perfect BS)??? I mean, if the TC gets to 5 for instance, I know that the people playing at the table have approximatly a 2% advantage on the house, but what about the people who are betting behind these players? Do they yeild some kind of advantage, or are they still suckers that are playing with a negetive expectation?????????
Thanks in advance
