who is the publisher of the Blackjack Insider newsletter
as well as the author of eight books on casino gambling
explains why you should never play at tables that only pay you 625 when you
get a blackjack
now here's henry Tampere historically the
casinos have paid a blackjack at 32 to pay off routes
and what that means is that if you but ten dollars you're gonna win fifteen
dollars
what casinos have done recently
is they've changed the odds paying off on a black track from 32 to 26 25
that might not seen lock US
and most players don't even realize that they're being shortchanged when they
play blackjack
and it's not getting paid 322 they're getting paid at 625
the reality is 625 pay off all odds
is a lot worse 322 pay off all odds
the house edge when our casino offers
625 pay off all odds increases by
one point for 0 percent
let me repeat that 1.40 percent
that means typical 625 single deck blackjack game
which you'll find in many casinos nowadays
and which the Blackjack pay 625
dealer hit sought 17 and you can double
down on any two cards that game has a house edge
1.45 percent the ball coveted courses from the 625 payoff
if you compare that to what typical
322 single deck blackjack game the house urges nine times greater
for that 625 game if you compare that 625 singled acting
to a typical sex tech blackjack game
the house edge is three times greater so that's the first reason why you don't
wanna play a six to five black checking
you're playing a game where the house edge is ridiculously high
I know a lot of people don't understand the concept the house edge in your
what's the big deal
1.4 percent what is it me I may translate this
down to dollars and cents let's suppose you're a ten dollar player
and you have a choice playing at 322
game or six the five-game they're both available
and let's suppose you're gonna average
eighty hands per hour which is about average statistically
every hour that you play those eighty hands you're gonna average about four
black Trax an hour
because black Trax will occur about once every twenty one hands
so every hour on average you're going to get for black Trax
I was suppose you play two hours
such a total a Blackjacks is what you're expected
now let's take a look at the 322 blackjack game
if you got ten dollars you're gonna be paid
15 if you go over and the 625 GameCube at ten dollars you're only gonna went
well for your blackjack
so you're losing three dollars on every block track if you played at 625 K
sets three dollars times for blackjack so our
that's twelve dollars you play two hours
that's twenty four dollars if you play three hours it's $36 dollars
that is the fee that is a tax
that you are paying every time you play 625 black check
the bus or walk up to the table at hand the casino over twenty four dollars and
employ your two hours a blackjack
but I don't know player would do that instead they'll sit down and play 625
and they pay this hidden tax they don't realize it but every black checks gonna
cost them money
and that's a lot of money that you're paying for absolutely nothing
so there's no reason to go and play a 625 blackjack
let me give you case you're still wavering on whether or not a 65 625
black tract is all that bad
let me give you two more reasons why 625 blackjack is really bad news
but suppose you play blackjack and you don't bat
and multiple so five dollars as remember and a 625 blackjack game
every time you bet 5 you get paid six for blackjack
or if you bet 10 you get 12 but suppose you bet eight dollars
and you get a blackjack house a dealer gonna pay all of
what dealers will typically do is they will pay you
six dollars for the first five the trip back
and there are only paying even money for the other three dollars
so that eight dollars that you back is gonna win you nine dollars
so that nine dollar payoff is no longer 625
it's worse than 625 it's about 5.6
the fall I so that's a second reason you want to avoid playing 625 blackjack
games
the third reason a lot of players like
take the even-money wager so when you get a blackjack dealer has
a showing a lot of players or just simply tell the dealer give me even
money
you bet ten dollars a deal is going to give you ten dollars regardless of
whether or not
he ends up with a blackjack so even money is a
fairly popular but amongst blackjack players
or guess what 605 blackjack game
the odds don't work out the casinos favor
like they do for the 32 to gain they're not going to make any money if they
offered
even money on a six to five black checking
so they simply refused to offer that bad
on a6 the five-game so if your plane six the five-game
don't expect to get even money for your black Trax it's not going to be
available
the other thing that you really have to be careful these days is that when you
sit down at a blackjack table
most players don't even realize that this particular game there about
play only gives payout odds
625 1625 was first introduced in Las Vegas
there anything changed the layouts on the table
simply put sign age out on the martinis
for all the players to see that we now offer single deck blackjack
and of course that was the big come on people would
hear about the strip casinos now offerings
single deck blackjack and most players understand
a single deck game has slightly better odds than
multiple tech game so a lot of players flock to these
single deck games guess what
they didn't realize that the Blackjacks were playing 625
and here's our iron and this is a little bit of history
I want to bring this up now because sixty years ago
back in the sixties the casino bosses got together right after Edward Thorp
wrote his book beat the dealer which basically explain
for the first time to the masses a blackjack player
that you can't beat the game with Kerr County and the casino bosses really
started to panic
had a meeting in Las Vegas they decided
they needed to something so they decided to change the playing rules
their single track teams they wanna head
and they changed up double down role so that you could only double down on 11
and you are no longer allowed to split Aces
so they implemented that rule change which is a change
in a player's option guess what hap
players stayed away from blackjack
they would not play that game because the casinos schools around but they're
playing options
and the bosses have no other recourse but to bring back the old rules
and by the way those two rule changes that they implemented
together increase the house edge up to about point nine four percent
player still balked at playing
because it was a change in a plane options
players don't like that are you fast-forward
sixty years other casinos change the rules
blackjack but they didn't change the playing
options what they did was they change the black check
payoff 2625 and guess what
the masses a blackjack player didn't even realize that this was happening
they didn't understand what the effect what this was on their
on the house edge fact nowadays
casinos can't put out enough single deck 625 blackjack games
because the players flock to these games they still have the mindset that a
single deck is a good game
they don't realize that these games pay 625
so if you're gonna go to a blackjack table you gotta make sure that that
table is paying
322 for blackjack a lotta casinos about change the layouts
so that it says 625 many them have put sign a John the table
which goes over the rules and it says 625
but they're still not sure you make sure you ask the dealer
does this table pay 322 on a black track
and if she says no and it says pay 625
you should just simply get up and say adios and leave
go to a casino that offers the fair 322 blackjack payoff art
last trip I want to leave you with is the fact that
casino bosses have now brazenly
change the blackjack payoff arts
2625 on their double and six decades
so you not only have to be careful when you go and play blackjack
I don't have a single deck game but even a double and a six pack game
and make sure your that those pay off all odds are 322
because if you go on a six-day game and you're only getting six to five for a
blackjack payoff
how such as gonna zoom up close to $2 per set
