But as someone who only plays blackjack - why, with the house odds already in your favor, do you feel the need to
#1 - take both bets on splits against an ace
#2 - take both bets on double downs vs. ace
The next thing isn't to do with odds, but why the hell would you have a person draw all the way to their own complete hand (be it a bust or made hand) only to then reveal that the dealer all along had a blackjack - that's absolutely maddening (especially the countless times I've drawn to 21)
Thanks for the feedback.
We've had some requests for the dealer to peek for blackjack. Maybe we should fix this. With the rule configuration we have now, the expected return is 99.5%, which was our goal. Adding dealer peeks would increase this return, requiring us to change other rules against the player to balance things out.
