Typo: RWS is less advantageous.

I'm not an expert so i can't explain. But angmoh forums have talked about it in detail.

even if basic rules dun differ......things like extra decks in the card shoes will increase the house advantage.....other subrules like splitting aces, double down etc will affect the odds against the players....back then the batam casinos even got the surrender rule.

almost even odds is very good.

what's the difference between RWS and MBS' blakjacks that make RWS more advantageous?

house advantage is slightly over one percent only for most games........that 1% is very important liao.......asian casinos are more smelly adding in things to increase their odds.

At least 6 decks with auto shuffler, so forget about card counting. What you see in the movie "21" won't work.

Rules that they include to increase their advantage include "insurance" and "even money" when player gets a blackjack.

The game rules are published on the CRA website.

http://app.cra.gov.sg/public/www/content.aspx?sid=59

When offering the games, the casinos are not allowed to deviate from these published rules. Non compliance is subject to a fine.

There are minor differences in blackjack rules for RWS/MBS.

For most casual players, there is no difference.

You will only observe a difference in the odds if you are following Blackjack basic strategy strictly, in which case the rules at MBS give marginally better than odds than RWS.

horse can be good.

owner can be sincere with his tips

but jockey can pull back the horse's reins!

u think so easy can pull back the reins? u think all the stewards and spectators blind? the only confirm way of not winning is to fall from the horse b4 the winning post. Not many jockeys have the balls jump to the ground where there another 6-12 half ton horses can run over him.

if MBS offers marginally better odds, why do people play blackjack at RWS?

hehe maybe the govt deemed me too dangerous for the local casinos......

 

[Fook Seng]

good to hear that you dont gamble. I think casino rules have not changed over the years

You are so certain? How long have you been gambling?

 

[TracyTan866]

hehe maybe the govt deemed me too dangerous for the local casinos......

are you barred from RWS or MBS?

if not, then, no you are not deemed too dangerous. it is your choice not to squander ur money at MBS nor RWS

 

[TracyTan866]

i am not certain..i am not a gambler

No idea but i imagine it applies everywhere since it increases the house's edge. If you ever go into MBS or RWS, watch how quickly some players sit down at the blackjack table, and quickly lose all their tokens. The ones who can stay at the table for 1-2 hours without changing more money are usually the steadier ones.

Caveat: Casinos are not for people who want to get rich. For the beginners, regardless of whether you have a strategy or not, always have a stoploss amount, and once you hit that stoploss, stop playing and walk out.

Firstly, most punters don't know how to play basic strategy. Most play their own sub optimum strategy. I remember reading that the typical sub optimum strategy that many punters use can result in Blackjack having odds as low as 95% to 96% for such players. You can only achieve those high 98% + odds if you play Blackjack like a robot and never make any mistakes with your basic strategy.

Secondly, punters seldom look at odds. If you play baccarat for example, the optimum bet for standard 5% commission baccarat is Banker. Despite this well known fact, there will be plenty of punters that bet player. Ditto for roulette. The combination bet of 0-1-2-3 has sucker's odds. In spite of this, you will see plenty of people buying this combination.

if MBS offers marginally better odds, why do people play blackjack at RWS?

why do some lose their chips quicker than others? bigger bets? bad gambler? no luck? rash player?
