I missed this special.

Glad it is back!

Go defense!

[benjy]

Love this promo. If I'm around I'll be partaking. Thanks!

[Reload]

Sounds good, Lou! Hope the Ravens defense can prevent the scoring for a while

[trytrytry]

wow..anyone who knows basic strategy very well and fast and has not points but wants to play with a points stake send me a PM, I guess must be a PRO so you can transfer points around.....I might be at an engagement that time.

[horja1]

Nice of Lou to pick the game with the higher total...

Although I guess three or four minutes of action is better then none...

Max bet for me too.

[yisman]

patty this is very +EV and every time the promo is run the casino takes a hit. That's why it's been on a long hiatus.

Yes for 10k points, please.

[milwaukee mike]

how could anyone NOT think this is +ev

just using round numbers if you bet 100 hands at 20 per hand that's 2000 points bet, normal edge of .5% or so would be 10 chips juice.
if you hit an average of 5 bjs/100 an additional (30 x 5) 150 chips offsets the house edge 15 times over.

[d2bets]

The only way it's -EV is if you were looking forward to watching (or live betting) the game and now you're attention will be diverted from kickoff to first score.

[sportsfanatic]

thanks. hope no one scores for a long time.

[secretstash]

[byronbb]

The only way I can play BJ without wanting to smash everything I own.

[byronbb]

Yes for the max. please.

You are forgetting that it's -ev for MOST players.

[FourLengthsClear]

You are forgetting that it's -ev for MOST players.

A player's 'strategy' would have to be pretty outlandish to p!ss away an edge of 6+% with optimal play.

Mind you, I saw ttwarrior swear blind that you should stand on 15 vs a dealer 10 the other day so who knows?

[MexicanStallion]

Thanks SBR. I really could use this one. Need to be positive

Standing on a hard 15 vs. 10 only gives up 3% more than hitting does. A player would have to average a mistake twice that bad to give up 6% (and probably 50% of all hands no one would ever make a mistake on unless they didn't know the rules of the game or something).

[aggieshawn]

What is a BlackJack again?

[Housemoney]

Oh well, will miss this one too. Going out to watch the games.

[byronbb]

I post this every bj thread but vegas earns 10% on their blackjack tables.

[chachi]

why do I suspect Lou anticipates the opening kickoff being run 90yds for a score?

[SBR_John]

The max bet allowed will be 20 points.

This is a popular special but one we will not run very often. Depending on how fast a score comes this will be the last one before football starts again.

[FourLengthsClear]

That cannot be correct.

Even with the less player friendly rules that now pervade (6/5 for Blackjacks, dealer hits soft 17 etc.) the house edge based on optimal play is still 'only' just above 2%.

As ThaddeusB above suggests, and I fully agree, for the player to deviate from basic strategy enough to give the house a 10% profit would mean splitting 5s and hitting on 18 against the dealer's 6.
