    BOYCOTT FAKE BLACKJACK!

    This is a fake rule, never existed historically in decades or centuries past.

    We all know it's a SCAM rip-off, with allusions to the safe bet at the craps table, so let's take action, tell our friends, tell the press, and BOYCOTT these sideshow charlatans.

    State laws should ban such an extent of corruption of a classically publicly known game, and bar the casino for fake advertisement. This game is not blackjack if it doesn't pay 3:2.

    Amen Brother! Turn this test into a testimony!! Hallelujah!

    Anyways...I heard on a podcast that there was an advertisement on the sides of vegas buses warning against 6:5, and the casinos put an end to it.

    Horseshoe Blackhawk tried this travesty when Eldorado took it over from Isle last year. The place became a ghost town for many months, until they succumbed to the market around them (many other casinos within walking distance) and went back to 3:2.

    Just curious. Did they put an end to the "warning" on the sides of the buses(if so, how?) or did they stop dealing 6/5 because the players became "self-aware" n thanks to the advertisement?

    I believe whoever said there was such an ad on buses in Las Vegas is mistaken. I don't think such an ad ever existed, though I wish it would.

    Some of the places by me have been aggressively sneaking in these 6:5 tables. What is even more depressing is that these tables are packed at peak hours.

    Even though it would be a mortal sin to give action on these tables, out of stubbornness, I would really like to find a way to attack one of these games.
    Since the casino has extra protection by only paying 6:5, I wonder if surveillance pays little attention to the action on these tables? (probably wishful thinking).
    Not sure how long you could get away with it, but does anyone think you can overcome the reduced BJ payoff by just wonging in on high counts and just basically flat betting your max bet?

    There are a few ways to attack it, but most card counters are one dimensional and only see penetration and game rules.

    With the house edge in a 6:5 game being almost 2.0% you would have to wait for a Hi-Lo True Count of about 5 to wong in with even a slight edge. Given that TC>=5 occurs less than 5% of the time in a 6d, h17,das, 1.0 deck cut off game, you’d be back counting a long time before jumping in, and then Wong out pretty soon thereafter. I suppose you could use some team play with a spotter, but Wongjng solo to attack a 6:5 game doesn’t seem practical or worth it. Some advanced AP methods though would work.

    If it’s 1-1…play as 11 and double is rich?

    I remember that billboard. Think Red Rock had one, too.
