You’re a living proof that IDIOTS aren’t only fund in civilians but also in wannabe APs
I've learned over the years to never say never when it comes to blackjack and the possibility of exploitation but early surrender doesn't make up for the 1.39% edge that 6:5 adds. It would not, however, be too far fetched to see an AP playing 6:5 after finding 'something'.
I've had the unique experience of watching a 22 year old casino go to 6:5 almost overnight. Every table at Mohegan Sun was 3:2, S17 and 6 decks a short month ago. All that is gone on over 40 tables. Sadly the poor games are getting play albeit not as much as they had hoped. The casino is very patient, raising the minimums on the better games and lying in wait for the red chippers to give in and play 6:5.
The dealers, out of ignorance and stupidity are 'selling' this game. You'll hear things like it's better than slots; your money will last longer or how many blackjacks do you get anyway? My favorite, which I've mentioned before is just play the side bets to make up for it.
Due to ignorance and apathy, I don't see 6:5 going away and that's too bad.
