    hold is a much different term, it refers to how much the casino keeps from each buyin, not how much the casino keeps from each hand

    this comes right from the wizard of odds
    "The house edge under proper basic strategy for these rules is indicated in the box below."(and then it shows the .5% or so, depending on surrender/dealer staying on soft 17/etc)

    The hold percentage is the ratio of chips the casino keeps to the total chips sold. This is generally measured over an entire shift. For example if blackjack table x takes in $1000 in the drop box and of the $1000 in chips sold the table keeps $300 of them (players walked away with the other $700) then the game's hold is 30%.

    LOL. Umm.

    Long term: HOUSE edge = house hold = theoretical hold.

    Short term: HOUSE edge = theoretical hold, house hold != HOUSE edge.

    From a player's perspective, when you say EDGE - especially in the context you did, without qualifying it as HOUSE edge, it means the opposite.

    Craps (double odds) 0.60% edge vs Blackjack 0.80%

    JJ touts Baccarat (banker) 1.18% House Edge (player) 1.63%

    Blackjack can have a theoretical hold much worse than 0.80%.

    Depends on the rules and the player.

    Trolling jjgold is major waste of time. He wont even bother to answer to trollers. I've tried. Go for frizzelli. You can ride that horse for a whole day.

    monkeyfokker I already said I shouldve said house edge but everyone else understood it

    if you really think hold % (which is around 15% in blackjack) is the same as house edge (which is less than 1%) then I got nothin for ya. Talk to a casino manager and they will explain the difference

    LOL. I'm sorry. I didn't realize I was talking to someone who doesn't know basic math.

    How do you think hold is derived exactly? Magic?

    Mikey!

    Love ya guy. But you're wrong on this hold. Not that it matters, here at SBR it's all semantics anyways as 95.1% of the posters in PT don't know the difference so they just go along with it.

    Some places words still mean something but not here.

    this must be a joke

    maybe house edge of 0.5% is if you play perfect. the average BJ player is not gonna have anywhere near a -0.5% edge. the average player is better off playing roulette or craps

    and BJ the only beatable game in a casino? how about poker?
