    Are you talking about electronic blackjack? You can’t track your total loss on a table blackjack game because you can easily put your chips in your pockets. I am confused.

    That's not how they count your wins for a table game rebate. If it were, you'd be committing a felony.

    What's a felony - putting chips in your pocket?

    In case you didn't know, the forum has a quote feature to avoid such confusion related to responding to a prior posting

    It would be a felony to pretend you hit a loss rebate by hiding chips. Assuming that were possible.

    I disagree. It's up to the casino to track a player's W/L. The casino made the promo and its rules. There's no law against rat-holing chips. Disclaimer - I'm not a lawyer. I only play one on TV.

    Yes it is the casino's responsibility, and they do track you when rebates are involved -- which was my first point. But, if you falsely claimed you "won" a rebate and somehow got away with it, that is clearly cheating, usually for a fair amount when rebates are involved.

    In any case, the casino tracks you. They may have a person record your results. Commonly you are the only player, so they just look at the dealer's chips. They may use non-negotiable chips. And there's surv. Try to cheat and you'll never get a rebate offer again.

    I'm talking about a normal blackjack at a casino table, they have a 10 percent promotion when buying chips and if you lose your chips 10 additional percent refund.

    Most commonly, an initial bonus is in non-negotiable chips which must be played and are substituted with real chips only after making a winning bet. Usually there are also additional rules on the loss rebate. It could very well be a valuable rebate.

    hello guys, since I no longer have the BJ 2 to 1, I only have the 20 percent refund promotion, I think I can take advantage of the Over/Under 13 I saw a count in a book about counting halves but it seems a bit complicated, Anyone know Arnold Snyder's Over Count? Snyder's website has been offline for a while and I can't find the count online.

    Something I don’t understand. The 20% refund promotion sounds huge and it’s a lot better than the blackjack 2:1 promotion. Why not just explore more into this refund? The over/under 13 side bet has been beaten by many. Stanford Wong Professional Blackjack has the strategy for this.

    actually the 20% refund I don't understand how to make the most of it, I regularly take advantage of the first 10 percent that they give me when I enter the table, the other 10 is in case of losing. Wong's Over/Under 13 strategy in my case I find it complicated because cards have different values 1,0.5,2 etc. and then I must do the conversion to real account according to the number of decks.

    Both the math and strategy for this game are easy. About 50% of the times you will win or push and 50% of the times you will lose; therefore the average advantage you will get is about 15% each hand. To get this 15%, you need to frequently buy in and frequently all in, so you will play like a high roller and be ready to hit and run. You don’t need to count cards, nor do you need any side bets.
