Well, considering the fact that at least 700 posters will flock to the promo, there will be plenty of winners

[Carseller4]

at 4/1 you have to be a complete imbecile not to come out ahead.

[Mr KLC]

No thanks. I'm retired from blackjack. Learned my lesson.

if 700 people log into SBR to play this on the 4th of july they all need to get a life JMHO

nothing against the promo or SBR

just saying....

[xfrozenx]

Meaning if you bet 1 you win 4, but i bet the odds of winning will be 50% lower than it is now, we shall see.

Good observation. This site is full of Americans, right?

[fitguy67]

Hey Lou,

by MIN bet=4/MAX bet=4...u mean that only bets of exactly 4 sbr points will be rewarded with the special 4-1 payout on player BJ's...

in other words, to have a chance for the bonus payouts...we all must flat bet exactly 4points each hand for the 1 hour that the promo runs...as bets of any size other than 4 points will not be recognized in the promo

do i have this correct?

[dj_destroyer]

4 point limit? One hour only?

What is this shit?

[fitguy67]

Lou, or any sbr-casino BJ/single-deck regulars...

the "help" file that comes up from within the game is next to useless...only rule i'm sure about is that the dealer stands on soft 17...

I need to know the exact rules in order to run up a strategy table... (which I'll share a link to once it's ready)...what i need is the answer to these items...

dang 1-2pm my time is gonna be tough to do on the 4rth - cool promo tho, since we get 4-1

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Ran the numbers quickly - nearly everyone will win with this setup (99%+)

Just make sure you start with 150 points or above, then you can't bust out.

No other bet sizes will be possible during the promo period. We will alter the min and max bet to exactly 4 points in Blackjack single-deck, so make sure you are in the right game.

[aceking]

at most you can win 10X of 4 points .

[FreeFall]

at 4/1 you have to be a complete imbecile not to come out ahead.

with a four point max bet who fcking cares? What are you going to make 100 points off this promo and spend it on a 15th of your pizza?

Time value of money folks. Think about it, please.

For something like this I would think, unless your understanding of basic strategy is completely in left field, it would be a huge waste to spend time consulting a chart... Being limited to max bets of 4 points (with close decisions being worth such a small fraction of a point) should make sacrificing precise accuracy for speed the clearly correct decision...

[trytrytry]

id be in for 3 points but 4 is just too high...

[dj_destroyer]

@Ronzer, you're wrong dude on three occasions. Don't fukk around for 5 points you mush.

@LVHerbie, fitguy is the next up and comer around here. Guy is sharp as a tack and takes everything VERY seriously, which is the way it should be.

4. ***Splitting (and Re-Splitting may produce a maximum total of __4__ hands (would expect 2=no resplitting, 4, or 8 here)

5. ***if Re-splitting is allowed (thus something larger than 2 is the answer to the above item)...are Aces allowed to be RE-split? A=yes/B=NO (If you split the aces in your holl, you only get one card)

6. ***Doubling after a split is:
A=allowed
B=NOT allowed

7.***Split Aces:
A=may be hit
B=may NOT be hit

blackjack pays 3 -2

Being limited to max bets of 4 points (with close decisions being worth such a small fraction of a point) should make sacrificing precise accuracy for speed the clearly correct decision...

you're right...creature of habit, i guess...

"can't see the forest for the trees"

[fitguy67]

Guyz...i just noticed a reasonably huge error I made in my original post (#14) about the rules to this game...and it's been quoted frequently without correction...i just noticed it and want to correct it before anyone else calls it to my attention...

the basic BJ payout is, of course "3-2", not "2-1"...

this just makes the promo all the more generous (ignoring the low stakes/short time involved...they're obviously to "contain the damage")...cuz a BJ on a 4 under normal rules would gross-pay 10/net-pay 6...(and with the "6/5" payout that's normal for THIS game...it'd gross just 8.8/net just 4.8)...

but...
for one magical hour tomorrow (when we, tragically, should be tending to far more important OTHER matters), that same 4 would gross 20 and net 16...making this game largely +EV (on a percentage of risked basis)...but stakes are small & time is short...so there's no serious gains to be made...just a bit of fun for a while with the edge reversed

[ronzer]

nevermind

[SpeedPro]

Didn't really like the SBR blackjack much the first time I played it. I may give it another chance.

[Balco10]

Too bad I give away my points to posters...

[Le_Donk]

nice promo
is there gonna be a leaderboard ?
