Never play 6:5 BlackJackWhy? Because 3:2 Blackjack pays more. The math is easy. you bet $10. Get Blackjack and you get back 25 (original bet plus $15). In 6:5 Blackjack you bet $10, get Blackjack you get back $22 (original bet plus $12).
I have been known to play a game that pays 2:1 on all pays, including BlackJack. Why? Because it pays. Question: Which is the better way to risk your bankroll: 1) A 3:2 game, H17, Resplit Aces, DAS, Surrender, Split any pair,Double any hand No peek, continuous shuffle, 8 decks where you are losing money. 2) a 2:1 game, S17, D 10-11, No Surrender, 1 Deck, continuous shuffle and you are making money. A lot of money. If you answered "1", then you must like giving your bank away. Yes you could think that every time you get Blackjack the casino is "taking" 30% of "your" money. But would you rather the casino take 30% of your BlackJack wins or take your bankroll? I know what I'd do. Here's what I've discovered. If a table has HORRIBLE rules, there is usually a reason for it and that reason is the game is very beatable and the casino doesn't want to be wiped out by those who figure it out. A beatable game is a game worth playing. A game that takes your bank is not. Period.
