European blackjack - advantage over the house in start?!?

[Kat]

E N H C Rule is bad .

As you know, Down Under ENHC (and no surrender at all) is all we get here. Here, dealer deals one card (all face-up) each and one to the dealer; then a second card each; but withholding the dealer's second card until all the players have either stood, busted or been paid on a blackjack. Then the dealer plays his own hand. With only 13 casinos here in a country almost as huge as the US, we have large capital cities each with only one casino. This means casinos virtually do whatever they like, and the playing public is continually screwed sumthin bad. All this is virtual certain death for the already-doomed player. There oughta be a law against it. OCCUPY MONOPOLIES.
