Pit Boss Ruling

[Yule]

First base seat. I had a $100 bet, I double down, and I win. Dealer pays me (everything is in green chips).I pulled back the $200 that I had won, but I accidentally left two stack of $100, side by side in the betting circle.Dealer pulls out the first card of the next round, exposed the card (2 of clubs), and he realized that my chips are not stacked correctly in the betting circle. He kind of paused, he didn't put the card on the felt yet, but I saw the card, and the player next to me saw it also. The Pit Supervisor was called over, and he immediately refused to make any ruling (says he doesn't know the rule, what a wuss!). I've had some very favorable rulings at this store with bigger bets out there, so I told them that I didn't care whether it's going to be ruled a $200 bet or a $100 bet. We waited 10 minutes while the Pit Boss calls/discusses with surveillance. Pit boss tells me the bets were in the betting circle, dealer motioned for all bets to be down, he made some analogy that its like a bet in roulette, etc. Ruling is a $200 bet. Is this ruling fair? Or was I the wuss, and should I have fought harder?

If you didn't care, why fight it? And if you had any edge, you shouldn't care.

Save pitboss battles for stuff that really matters to you.

Similar thing happened to me today, except the dealer accidentally began while I only had a tiny bet in the circle, below the table min. I had a 4, and the dealers 7 was exposed. She stopped, before dealing my second card, and said, "that's not enough" waiting for me to put in the rest to meet the table min. But because she already started dealing, accepting my action, I refused, saying she already started. Had my card been favourable, of course I would have increased by bet to meet the min. Ended up winning the hand anyways, nonetheless did the right thing.

It’s not a bet until there is a single stack of chips. If the card was exposed, the next person should get it. Situation allows the casino to show their good side, and make favourable player rulings (Don, please don’t gag).

CountinCanadian
The dealer in this circumstance, is obligated to remind you of table min, and is further obligated to accept the deficient wager.

I had $200 bet and the dealer had 10. After I played my hand to 17 the dealer found out that she had a blackjack. The pit boss returned my money. Not sure why, as it made no difference to me, but it was a good customer service. In the case of OP, it should have been obvious to everyone that the bet is only a 100 and should have returned the other 100. So, that is more of an ignorant way to handle the situation.

I believe Moses has the copyrights or Trademark to the following statement:

Blackjack is a game of people played with cards."


It's right up there with:

Certainly can. Just don't know how comfortable I am finding myself in the same post, being compared to Moses! :-)

I don’t care what anyone says - it’s still a classic.

Depends if it's Moses, the mountain climber, or moses, the delusional pretend BJ player who talks to himself.

Yes, important distinction. I'm OK with comparison to the first. :-)

Both are fictional characters.

I was going to mention this also, but figured Norm would give me a scolding for mentioning Moses on his site so decided not to.
