Hoooray! (6:5 blackjack) *LINK*

just a simple question
In the e-link the Harrah's are annuncing "pays a whooping 6:5 on blackjack"
Sorry, I'm french. Is the word whopping means something like awesome?
Or are they thinking that players will think that 6:5 is "bigger" than
3:2? The shock of a different culture can be brutal!

Yes "whopping" means very large, something like "beaucoup". I think they are looking for players that don't realize that BJ pays 3:2 on naturals. Either that, or they are setting us up for 1:1 games and using 6:5 to make it look good by comparison.
Either way, it's an unethical promotion of a game. It is a false statement to say 6:5 is "whopping". Gaming should concern itself with these matters and not the girl's titties on the Hard Rock billboard.

Whopping
I wonder what a poll, on the strip/downtown, would reveal about people knowing the difference between the two. It really wouldn't surprise me if over half the people said that 6:5 > 3:2. Or I would at least bet that over half the people would give you an odd look for asking and have to think about it before answering.

a fine statement
about the state of public education. Apparently ratios are no longer adequately covered in school. And the casinos are taking advantage of it, it would seem.
