    That's like saying, "If I don't win at least one of the my big bets during this high count, then counting is nonsense".

    The best bets for free play are always high variance bets you would never make with cash. Recall Grosjean's "Beyond Coupons" where he showed that a single number in roulette is the best bet in the casino for a free play coupon. The same principle applies here.

    We had this discussion earlier, but let me say this again. Although you know this guy Grosjean, you do not really understand coupons and free bets. I have not encountered any casino in USA that allows you to use these coupons on a single number in Roulette. I always bet on red or black squares even money bets.

    I know of one. And I will not reveal it here.

    I was merely pointing out a mathematical similarity. There is a very good reason why most casinos do not let you make that bet! What do you think it might be? Perhaps that will help you with your understanding of coupons and free bets.

    FWIW, I have successfully made that bet on many occasions.

    Of course, you have helped me understanding some of these mechanisms. That is why I ask you.

    My understanding is that you can bet on single number bets, but they will not pay you a higher odd than 1:1. If you use it in blackjack, they will not pay you 1.5:1.

    General statements like that are doomed to be incorrect simply because rules and conditions differ wildly from place to place. I have been paid the proper amount for free bets in both of the situations you mention.

    Same here. In BJ, I've used free bets and gotten paid 3:2.
    As always, the forum troll is wrong.

    When I used my match play coupons in blackjack, some casinos allowed me to double down on a coupon. That is the best use of match play coupons I’ve ever had.

    In this situation, can you help me find the play deviations for doubling down with a match play coupon? Like this, if I have a hand of A, 8 vs. 3, I should double down. My games are 6-deck stand-17.

    In his article, Grosjean provided basic strategy deviations for blackjack with various coupons. There are only a few and they aren't worth much.

    I usually don't bother because all your posts are nonsensical. However, since you requested it, I was going to add a second unhelpful to post #45, but I hit yes by mistake. Don't let that go to your head.
    It appears you have a number of fans here who find your posts unhelpful, not just me.
