The promo could be solid, but this will be the rollover attempt for those who win This was me playing today for fun for a little while.
What are the odds of dealer getting 21 eight times in a row at a physical casino? 0.1%
What a crock!

well it didnt help that he stayed on 12 4 hands up from the bottom against the ace (or 9, i dont know which card is first. doesnt matter either way)
but yeah i've lost thousands and won thousands many times on all these blackjack sites (sbr, online casinos, sportsbook casinos, etc). so i have mixed emotions about how "true" the software is. but im pretty content with sbr right now lol considering i won over 20000 playing basic/proper strategy fluctuating between 400-700 point bets.
thaddeus is correct in his post on the previous page. the math doesn't lie and this contest would entail a very nice player edge. but like he said, thats only if you're not gonna stay on 12 and also cash out at a certain point (something i suck at )

Why "cash out at a certain point" if you have an edge on every hand? The more you play, the more you expect to win.

I don't even know if Thad could last long enough in bankroll to even make much of a profit off this without having to chase the **** back to even. Dealer gets BJ probably 5 times to my once... and its usually happens that I get a BJ then dealer wins ten hands then i get a BJ.. not worth it. Someone on the player side is going to get ****** by the software so SBR profits .. it's just a game of who's it gonna be, not 'who plays the game best'.

yeah you are right. i guess i was implying to do so once sbr ended the promotion. some guys will be so enthralled in playing that they wont stop playing once the promo ends thus losing their edge and crossing into -EV

Good promo, though 25 points/hand is rather light in comparison to 100/hand last time the promo ran.

I'm willing to stake people since I won't be on to play.
This is clearly +EV and people who don't recognize it are delusional.
The reason the limits were dropped so drastically is because SBR took a beating the last few times they offered 3/1 on blackjacks.

You do realize four hands up from the bottom is a Blackjack. I get no option to continue after that The second card is the face card up too if you were wondering. So there is little I can do on any of those hands.
Of 15 Hands listed, there are 7 Blackjacks. The only hand that doesn't make any sense is the double up, because at that point I just said **** it and see what happens. Had I not done it, I would have actually lost either way with standing or hitting.

Thanks Yis. In that case I had 12 against a 5. Looking for a bust in that deal.

Yes sir. It just confuses people because of the way the software displays hand history.

Come to my house and I will deal BJ for you with a deck. If I hit 21 in 7 hands in a row you can have my car.

No big deal. I should have assumed you meant 6 hands up, since you mentioned the 9. I know it is a little confusing when looking at it. Just wanted to share my run at BJ from Tuesday gearing up for the contest.

Yisman, I respect your opinion and Thad's. You do understand the software is set up to make money no matter what, right? It is preset. Land based casino aren't preset. This is.

News to me. The only time I've played casino/bj is during the last 3:1 promotion. I made 2,000 pts. I guess the software was broken that day.

I didn't play BJ during 3:1 but people will win and lose. I'm just wondering how many will be ahead with the prizes. It will prob look more like my screenshot where they don't give away much

I'm sure it is a good promo, but the longer people play, the better chance they will lose. SBR will profit on this and that is all that matters. Some players will profit as well. More people will lose vs win. Is this normal with even money?

There will never be a 100 point limit when we go 3-1 on BJ's. It's just too expensive. This one will be fun even at the 25 point limit.
