i highly doubt the bclc would ever give this low of an edge i dont think there is anything below a .5% edge all 6 deck or 5 deck csms.. to get to that edge like that i of .03% you would need to have a double deck game with really good rules.. with 5 decks i don't think its possible unless they start offering 2-1 blackjack.

this is the bclc here.. remember they don't even want you to have a chance to get lucky here.

iv never seen a dealer almost pay a losing or push hand but almost every time I go at least one dealer will try to take my winning or push bet... a little to convenient for me.

:cow:
Go to the Basic Strategy Engine on the site here and print out the rules. 6 Decks I think, DAS, DA2, no resplit of Aces, Early Surrender vs 10 and A. The edge is .03%.

You have to remember, how many people play 100% correct Basic Strategy? 1 in 50? With Most players the Casino has a huge edge.

It is all government regulated. They need to justify themselves you know. Offering good rules is justification that people needn't blow so much cash.

Well, it may be Vancouver although someone mentioned that it may be late Surrender. It's been too long since I visited to remember clearly.

yea i would think that it would be late surrender which bumbs the edge up to .58 or something. like i said the bclc doesnt give you a chance.

It is absolutely not early surrender.

No, it isn't early surrender. They don't peek at the 10 or A before playing out the hand. If you surrender, a tile is placed on your cards. If the dealers got a natural, your full bet is taken.
