Even money blackjacks are not a good thing

2 for 1 suited Blackjacks

2 for 1 on suited blackjacks = even money on 1/4 of all player blackjacks. Why do you think the player has an edge? What am I missing?

Edge

The edge for winning with a 5-6-7 paying $18, must be as close to 0 as any promotion I have ever seen.

As for the suited bj, assuming other bj's pay 3:2, a suited BJ comes up every 84.23 hands, with probability:

2x(96/312)*(6*311) = .0119.

And you receive an extra .5 units.

Thus this adds: .5x(.0119) = .0059 = .59% to your edge. If the game was a typical S17, DOA, DAS, RSA game with a house edge of .41%, you now have an edge of about .18% edge over the house without counting.

Woo hoo!
