Calling all Ploppies
I've wondered the same thing and don't see how they could. With a $10 bet, $5 bet for insurance, Dealer blackjack pays $12. $12 -$5 = $7. It would have to pay 3:2 to get even money. I know you know all this, I'm just going through it in my head. What are the chances a ploppy will be able to answer this for us?

Most places do not allow even money on 6/5 ploppy ripoff
When you have blackjack and the dealer shows an ace, do they offer you "even money?"
I actually studied the 6/5 game when it was first gaining popularity. Policy varies from casino to casino, but most do not offer the even money option. I have seen it confuse and annoy ploppies who are accustomed to the normally stupid play of taking even money.
With the massive house edge, it's typical caisno overkill to deny the 6/5 ploppies this little option. The good news is that it may actually drive some ploppies away from the 6/5 game, because they are used to accepting the sucker's even money, and now they get NOTHING on some of their blackjacks.

Insurance does pay 2 to 1
Even in a 6:5 game. When a ploppy takes even money he is taking insurance. If the dealer does not have BJ the player loses his insurance bet, but then gets paid 6 to 5 for his BJ. If the dealer does have BJ, the player's BJ pushes but he gets paid 2 to 1 on insurance, so in this case he gets his even money, but if the dealer does not have BJ, he would not get even money. does that make sense?
