Funny-Chip FolliesWe see the same phenomena when using \funny chips," by which I mean chips that are relinquishedwhen a decision is generated, win or loss. Roulette is still the juggernaut, followed by variouscarnival games and bets. If payouts are restricted to even-money bets, then Three Card Pokeremerges victorious, whether or not the chip is saved on a tie. For chips relinquished on ties, thestrategy is to use $100 live on the Ante. Then, on any hand K87 or weaker, use the chip on the Playbet; on any hand K92 or stronger, we use cash on the Play bet, and keep the chip in our pocket fora subsequent hand. This produces an expectation of $51.43, a shock to those who thought that $50was an upper bound on the value of this type of chip. If the chip is saved on ties, then Three CardPoker produces a whopping $73.15, compared to the sub-$50 values of using the chip in blackjackwith even-money payos."
The section on Non-Cashable Chips refers specifically to chips that are kept on a win, whereas OP must surrender his chip on a win.
