The house edge is a lot lower than 2%, and it's based on the percentage of ante bets, not total action, so it is easier to calculate.ĭealer mistakes are common, you are right.
Seems to me the game is beatable because of the high volume of dealer mistakes that take place. Just looking for a ball park number as I realize the dealer and the number of players at the table greatly effect the pace of play.Ģ) On bigger mistakes like when you bet 4x and lose and the dealer misreads and pays you and you win $125 instead of losing $150 doesn't this $275 swing destroy the house 2% edge. Well if you get paid on the ante when it should have been a push, doesn't that one little mistake make up the 2% for $1250 worth of action.ġ) Approximately how long do you have to play quarters to generate $1250 in action. Many times the dealer forgets they didn't qualify and you get paid on your ante bet. What should this equate to in money bet per hour? I am making the assumption that for every $1250 I put in action I can only expect a return of $1225 after the fullness of time and the 2% hold levels out.
I never play trips and bet 4x 2x and 1x where appropriate. I bet quarters and play the perfect strategy as the strategy tables show.
